Everyone says K J Somaiya is better than TAPMI in all terms. Still, TAPMI is ahead of K J in rankings by almost every magazine or site. Why?

Divya Kaur

08 Jul 21

TAPMI is considered to be much better than K J Somaiya. I can say this because my brother has completed his education from TAPMI and I have some friends who have studied in K J Somaiya.

TAPMI has been AACSB accredited for the past few years now. It's not that simple for colleges to attain and maintain that accreditation. TAPMI is ahead in rankings because it deserves to be ranked above K J Somaiya.
K J Somaiya provides courses for a lesser amount of money as compared to TAPMI and this is one of the major reasons why people tend to get confused between TAPMI and K J Somaiya.
Both K J Somaiya and TAPMI are considered to be Tier 2 colleges in India. TAPMI has been able to make students good leaders.
The only advantage that K J Somaiya has over TAPMI is the location. K J Somaiya is situated In Mumbai which can be of great benefit for many students.
TAPMI has helped over 400 students to get placed every year. The average package offered by companies to students of TAPMI comes around to be INR 10.6 Lakhs per annum. Some top recruiters of TAPMI include Deloitte, Microsoft, and Salesforce.
The campus and infrastructure of TAPMI are also a lot better than K J Somaiya.

Hence, TAPMI is better than K J Somaiya and deserves a better ranking in magazines and websites.

Both TAPMI and BIM Trichy are well-respected management institutes in India, delivering superior quality education and top-notch opportunities for students. It all boils down to individual preferences and priorities when it comes to choosing a management institute. Some factors to consider may include the location, curriculum, faculty, and campus culture of each institution.

The table below has drawn a comparison based on some crucial factors

How strict is TAPMI?

Sanjeev Ghosh

20 Mar 23

If you're considering attending TAPMI, there are some rules and regulations you should be aware of. Here's what you need to know:

In the past, a 100% attendance record was required, and you couldn't take night-outs or skip classes without a medical certificate from KMC, Manipal. However, the attendance rule has been relaxed, and you can take night outs if you get permission from the warden. If you need to miss class due to illness, you can submit a medical certificate from the in-house nurse.
There are still some strict rules that you need to follow. You must be inside the campus by 11.30 PM every day unless you have taken a night out. Smoking and drinking on campus are not allowed, and you must be on time for your classes.
To be promoted to the second year, you must maintain a minimum of 4.4 CGPA.
While all this might seem intimidating, there are plenty of opportunities to have fun. The campus celebrates all major Indian festivals, and there are lots of DJ nights, sports competitions, committee parties, class parties, and FAS group parties to enjoy. Plus, there are section wars and a great friend circle to help you get through the two years.

Given a choice between GIM GLIM FORE and TAPMI for PGDM marketing which one would you pick and why?

Hardik Nagar

09 Mar 23

If you're considering pursuing an MBA in Marketing, GIM could be the best option for you. This is because GIM is known for having the best marketing faculty among the options available. The faculty members are highly experienced and knowledgeable, and they provide students with a comprehensive understanding of marketing concepts and practices.

On the other hand, if you're looking for the top-ranked management school among the options provided, GLIM Chennai should be your choice. GLIM Chennai consistently ranks at the top among B-schools in the country, and it has an excellent reputation for providing a world-class education.

Moreover, GLIM Chennai has strong industry linkages and provides students with plenty of opportunities to interact with top recruiters. This is a significant advantage, as it gives students the chance to network with industry leaders and gain valuable insights into the field.

If you're looking to pursue a career in PGDM Marketing, GIM could be the best choice among GLIM, FORE, and TAPMI as it provides excellent training and education in this field. However, if you're looking for a top-ranked institution and want to maximize your chances of getting hired by top recruiters, GLIM Chennai is the way to go.

Ultimately, the decision of which institution to choose depends on your personal goals, preferences, and priorities. Both institutions offer world-class education and exceptional faculty, so it's essential to weigh the pros and cons carefully before making a final decision.

Which is better TAPMI or GIM Goa?

Bidita Ghose

14 Apr 23

Both TAPMI and GIM are well-respected institutions in India that offer management education. Both institutions have their own unique strengths and areas of focus.GIM is known for its focus on sustainability and corporate social responsibility, as well as its international focus with a strong emphasis on international business.

Both institutes give a sharp edge to each other in terms of rankings, placements, and infrastructure. My cousin was in a similar situation and eventually went for GIM owing to its smaller batch size. Although both institutes offer similar opportunities and exposure, I can guarantee that GIM will give you a much better campus life.

TAPMI too is a leading B School and from what I heard from a friend, most of its pass outs are working in high positions in reputed firms. Overall,

Placement-wise, GIM>TAPMI
Campus life-wise, TAPMI>GIM

Ultimately, the choice between TAPMI and GIM will depend on the individual's specific interests and career goals. Both institutions offer high-quality education,

How is TAPMI, Manipal?

Daksh Prajapati

14 May 21

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.

For the finance department, BIM has an advantage in academics and faculty compared to TAPMI.
The placement scenario is also very good and it is similar for both of these colleges.
