How is TAPMI, Manipal?

TAPMI has made great strides in recent years. It is a great B-Schools with a beautiful campus located in the city of Manipal. I have a friend at the institute and here is his unbiased opinion about the institute. 

Infrastructure:

• There are a well-equipped library and computer lab. Although it does not have its own auditorium. The hostel room is average with all the basic amenities. To accommodate students classes are conducted in two shifts. 
• The food provided at the mess is not great but you have the option to choose from different vendors. Although that can be a bit costly. Mess charges are not considered in the fee.
• Sports facilities are average at best. There is a Cricket field but it gets flooded often due to heavy rainfalls in Manipal. 

Faculty: The faculty base is average. Some of the faculty members are great and quite cooperative. The administration is very strict about rules.

Rules & Regulations: The institute is quite strict about its rules and regulations. There are strict protocols to follow for night outs, taking holidays to go home and curfew timings. Students also have to maintain a strict dress code. 

Campus Life: As long as you stay on campus, you can hang out with your friends till late. There are a few fest and events but these are not that great as compared to other colleges.

Placements:

When it comes to placements the institute is a few disadvantages, i.e. location, large batch size. TAPMI offers 100% placement although the average CTC is a bit inflated especially for the summer placements. The profiles offered at placements are average. Students do get internship offers a lot of these internships do not offer stipends. 

Alumni Base: It has a great alumni base. TAPMI has made CMOs and CFOs. 

Overall, TAPMI is a good B-School with decent infrastructure and facilities. However, it lacks behind in terms of two crucial factors i.e. location and batch strength.
