Which PGDM is better, IMI in New Delhi or TAPMI?

AD
Abhishek Dutt Posted On : March 15th, 2023
PGDM from T. A. Pai Management Institute (Graduated 2019)

IMI Delhi is ranked higher than TAPMI in most of the rankings one will come across. However, the scenario may differ based on work experience, expectations from an MBA, and the major one is looking for.

IMI Delhi has a better record of companies coming for placements than TAPMI. But, TAPMI has a different approach to placement reports. The figures are CRISIL certified, and the aim is to provide world-class education with a rigorous curriculum unmatched in the industry. The education and rigor received at TAPMI will make the investment worth it.

Life at TAPMI is tough, and it is not the typical B-School one would wish for. The institution is strict about every detailed aspect, and there won’t be opportunities to go home every fortnight or bunk class. However, a wonderful campus with best-in-class facilities will be provided, and personal expenses won’t skyrocket.

Placements will not be an issue once the necessary skills are acquired. Opportunities in every field of every kind will be provided, and the faculties are top-notch with high industry experience.

In the end, the decision is up to the individual.

Which is a better option for marketing, TAPMI PGDM or FORE PGDM?

MR
Mihir Roy Posted On : August 5th, 2021
Studied at Jadavpur University (2019)

Both TAPMI and FORE are very reputed institutions and are very good choices to pursue PGDM. As some of my friends studied in the above-mentioned colleges, I can provide some facts that might be useful for you while making a decision.

  • FORE is situated in Delhi which is an added advantage as this is the capital city and has better facilities and easy access to all parts of the country.
  • This also attracts a lot more companies to visit the campus for interviews.
  • The total seats available in TAPMI is 455 and in FORE it is 420 (180 for PGDM, 120 for IB, 60 for FM, 60 for BDA). So, the competition will be less in FORE and the students will get more opportunities.
  • Also FORE doesn't have any restrictions on placements, so any student from any stream can sit for all campus interviews.
  • FORE has better connections in the corporate industry and has a better alumni network which is another advantage over TAPMI.
Categories PGDM at TAPMI PGDM at FORE
Course Fee 15.1 lakhs 15.98 lakhs
Highest CTC 18-20 LPA 25 LPA
Average CTC 11-12 LPA 16 LPA
Recruiting Companies KPMG, Asian Paints, Mercedes, Adobe, etc. American Express, HSBC, Barclays, Mindtree, etc.

Hence, both the colleges are very good options to pursue PGDM, but FORE has some added advantages over TAPMI like better location and alumni which can be very beneficial for you.

What are the best fields to choose in TAPMI for an MBA in terms of placements? Why is TAPMI better than NMIMS Bangalore and KJ Somaiya?

PB
Pranit Banwat Posted On : December 27th, 2022
B.E in Electronics, K. J. Somaiya College of Engineering

Considering this year's figures, The highest number of students were placed in the IT / ITES sector followed by the Consulting & BFSI sectors. The table below shows TAPMI PGDM General Placements 2022 Sector-wise.

Sector

Percentage of students placed 

Average Salary

IT/ITES

36%

INR 12.8 LPA

Consulting

34%

INR 12 LPA

BFSI 

23%

INR 11.8 LPA

FMCG and retail

2%

INR 14.1 LPA

Others

Apart from figures and placements you should choose the field of study based on your own interests and strengths not on the faculty or features of the college. 

TAPMI has very good faculty in all the subjects. IT was and is a major recruiter here. It also gives tough competition to Consulting. So, IT and Consulting are the major specializations opted by the last batch followed by BFSI. But if you have a specialization in mind go for that and don’t just depend on statistics.

Moving on to your next question that why is TAPMI better than KJ and NMIMS Bangalore Well, this is because it has

  • better faculties
  • closely monitored curriculum
  • good infrastructure
  • better research facilities
  • strong alumni network
  • international accreditation ( AACSB)
  • Better placement opportunities 

All this makes TAPMI better than KJ and NMIMS Bangalore.

Which one is better: a PGDM-BKFS at TAPMI or a PGDM at Great Lakes Institute of Management?

HC
Himani Chaudhary Posted On : March 9th, 2023
Delhi-ite who studied in Chennai and working in Mumbai.

If you're interested in TAPMI's BFSI-oriented course, it would be a good idea to speak with seniors of that particular program for more information. However, if you're considering TAPMI's PGDM program in general, it is a pretty good option.

Great Lakes Chennai's PGDM program is relatively new, but it's already picking up momentum. The average salary package for its second batch was around 8.75 lakhs, and companies like Coke, Airtel, Lava, Snapdeal, Amazon, HDFC, Axis, Kotak, and many others recruited from the program.

It's important to note that placements are just one aspect to consider when selecting a program. Great Lakes Chennai also boasts some of the best faculty and infrastructure in India, making it a great choice for those seeking a high-quality education.

Overall, it's important to research and considers all aspects of a program when deciding where to pursue your MBA, including the course offerings, faculty, infrastructure, and placement opportunities.

What is the typical life of a student at TAPMI, Manipal?

DP
Daksh Prajapati Posted On : May 16th, 2023
Studied at TAPMI, Manipal

The curriculum at TAPMI is extremely busy. The number of quizzes, projects, assignments, and committee work is enormous. Additionally, due dates are sacred. If you are a fresher, you go through a lot of change in terms of the development of corporate culture, and it's a pretty important lesson for an MBA graduate to learn. It can be challenging at times, but it is extremely vital. Even if you have worked, you put in more effort than usual (or you're forced to) and work to advance your management and technical skills. 

You are given a lot of rigour, prepared to accept responsibility, and work in teams to complete some extraordinarily difficult jobs. A normal day begins at 8 am with classes that may begin at 8:30 am and end as late as 8:15 pm, with significant breaks in between; tests, assignments, and projects take up your afternoon. It would be a lot busier if you were on a committee or if it was placement season.

The good news is that Manipal is a great place to live and that's where you spend your evenings (at least some of them). In the midst of rural Udupi, it is a metropolitan metropolis with everything from 5-star hotels and bars to beaches and shopping centers. People party hard because alcohol is inexpensive, and those who work the hardest are also the hardest party animals!

Motor vehicles are allowed for both juniors and seniors and you must be on campus by 11:30 p.m. If you work till two or three in the morning to finish any unfinished business, the Night Canteen will save the day. However, at the end of the day, you know that you are preparing yourself for the corporate world (the placements are excellent), and that motivates you.

What are the TAPMI PGDM interview experiences like?

DK
Divya Kaur Posted On : April 28th, 2023
Studied PGDM from T. A. Pai Management Institute (2011)

My experience for the TAPMI PGDM interview was excellent, there were two people during the interview panel, one male and one female. As I had some work experience they directly started me asking the company valuations and how can we decide how valuable a company is, they asked me about the CEO and recent news related to the company, they asked me about my hobbies and a few questions related to that. They also asked me questions about my undergraduate, like Fourier transform and Laplace transform, as it has been too long since I did engineering I told them I am not able to answer these questions. The overall experience was great.

How is KIIT better than VIT, SRM and Manipal?

PP
Pratik Parikh Posted On : July 26th, 2023
Lives in Bangalore

I would place these institutions in this rank-

  1. MIT (Main Campus- Manipal) 
  2. VIT
  3. SRM
  4. KIIT

However, KIIT will overtake VIT and SRM because the academics and placements at this institution are getting better over the years.

As an alumnus of MIT, here are a few reasons why I have placed MIT in the top:

  1. Top Engineering streams like CSE, IT, Mech, ECE, and EEE at MIT are as good as the NITs.
  2. It has only merit-based seats and no management quota. On the other hand, in KIIT and other institutions, the majority of intake is from management quota.
  3. The All India MU-OET exam brings in a good crowd at MIT. The campus life, faculty, and alumni are also great.
  4. MIT has a decent placement record and a great campus life. During placements at MIT, I sat for 50 companies and by the end received 3 placement offers. Currently, I am working at TATA Motors.
  5. If the high fee is not an issue for you, MIT is the best option after IITs, BITS, and top NITs.
  6. People tolerate opposing views and the approach is more egalitarian at MIT.
  7. MIT student has the distinction of being an undergraduate with the highest number of research papers in the country to his credit (22 research papers in 4 years).

Though KIIT is a good institution with improving academics and placements, I would say that MIT ranks the highest among the four.

What is the XAT Cutoff for SP JAIN, K J Somaiya, IMT Ghaziabad, TAPMI, and FORE?

AB
Adiya Bondhopaday Posted On : March 20th, 2023
Lives in Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh

XAT or Xavier Aptitude Test is a national-level entrance exam conducted by XLRI, Jamshedpur for admission to management programs offered by more than 150 B-schools across India, including SP Jain Institute of Management and Research (SPJIMR), K J Somaiya Institute of Management Studies and Research, Institute of Management Technology Ghaziabad (IMT Ghaziabad), T A Pai Management Institute (TAPMI), and FORE School of Management.

Each of these B-schools has its own XAT cutoff score based on factors such as the number of applicants, the difficulty level of the exam, and the availability of seats. Generally, the XAT cutoff scores for these B-schools range between the 80 to 90 percentile.

It's important to note that while cutoff scores are an important factor in the admission process, they are not the only factor. Other factors, such as your academic background, work experience, extracurricular activities, and performance in other selection rounds, also play a crucial role in the admission process. So, it's always a good idea to aim for a high score in XAT and prepare well for other selection rounds to increase your chances of admission to the MBA program of your choice.
