Had I been in your place, I would have chosen BIM Trichy over TAPMI.
If you're considering attending TAPMI, there are some rules and regulations you should be aware of. Here's what you need to know:
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.
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,
Ultimately, the choice between TAPMI and GIM will depend on the individual's specific interests and career goals. Both institutions offer high-quality education,
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:
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.
TAPMI fees for an MBA in Finance are INR 16 LPA. This is the total tuition fee for two years. Here is the fee structure.
Fees | Tuition fees | Hostel fees | Total |
Year 1 | INR 8.00 Lakhs | INR 8.00 Lakhs | INR 16 Lakhs |
Year 2 | INR 1.65 Lakhs | INR 1.80 Lakhs | INR 3.5 Lakhs |
The fee structure is similar for all specializations.
Both TAPMI and BIM Trichy are very popular institutes and both of them are very good options to pursue PGDM. According to the reviews on the internet, both these colleges have their advantages.
Categories | PGDM at TAPMI | PGDM at BIM Trichy |
Course Fee | 15.1 lakh | 92.14 K |
Highest CTC | 18-20 LPA | 22-25 LPA |
Average CTC | 11-12 LPA | 9-10 LPA |
Recruiting Companies | KPMG, Asian Paints, Mercedes, Adobe, etc. | ICICI Bank, CitiBank, Nestle, Loreal, etc. |
Hence, both these colleges are very options to pursue PGDM but for the finance sector, BIM Trichy can be a better option as its faculty members are very talented and have a better alumni network.
