TAPMI Manipal All Questions

Hello Akaanksha. Both KJ SIMSR and TAPMI are almost at par with each other, with an edge for SIMSR in terms of its location. For SIMSR, its core is the best, while remaining courses do not add up to its name. The same goes out for TAPMI as well.Hence when you compare a SIMSR FS with TAPMI core, I would say TAPMI core is a better call.

Hope this helps.

All the best.

Hello Simran. Well, first of all, FORE is not comparable to TAPMI or IMT-G with all due respect. The DCP in IMT-G does have a lot cons as compared to other on-campus programs. Moreover, you will not receive much exposure in the Dubai campus in the first year. Cut to second year, and the placement season begins in Ghaziabad as soon as you come.So, you will not have any time to adjust with your curriculum,your PDP programs,etc. On hindsight, there are very good faculties of both operations and marketing in IMT-G.

Coming to TAPMI, it is quite decent b-school for marketing with good faculties and a structured peer learning. When you compare both the colleges, all the courses of IMT-G are better than TAPMI except the DCP program, thanks to the unstructured program.

All the best.

Hi Miliind!

This is quite a comparison you've made here because both the b-schools have a significant presence among the top b-schools in the country. Both have almost similar specs if you go by the placements and infrastructure but the only difference comes in location and the fees. though it is not advisable to answer the question only based on placements it becomes rather important to consider other factors as well.

If you're specifically talking about finance, then both the colleges stand a fair chance given that they both have splendid faculty and also the recruiters who walk in are rather similar. The return on investment can also be a factor but you can consider the following points before making a decision.

K J Somaiya

• Total Students - 480
• Fees : 13.6 lakhs excluding hostel fees.
• Average package - 9.09 LPA
• Highest package - 20 LPA
• Recruiters - Adithya Birla, Amazon, Google, HDFC, Maruthi Suzuki, IBM, SAP, Wipro, Accenture, Deloitte, Mphasis, LG, Vedanta, Godrej, Airtel, etc.
• Factors to consider - Fees is low compared to TAMPI. The location is a major advantage considering that Mumbai is the financial hub and provides an ample number of opportunities during internships and also placements. Apart from that the corporate- campus connect is also high on the radar.

TAPMI

• Total Students - 445
• Fees - 14 lakhs excluding hostel fees.
• Average Placement - 10.06 LPA
• Highest Placement - 19.4 LPA
• Recruiters - ICICI, Amazon, HDFC, Deloitte, Airtel, Godrej,  Amul, Britannia, ITC, Cognizant, Salesforce, Titan, ITC, CityCorp etc.
• The infrastructure is top notch as it is located in Manipal, which is the student hub in Karnataka and the brand value of the college is also known in the corporate world.
• Other factors. Accreditation - TAPMI is much better in comparison to K J  Somaiya as it has AACSB accreditation and is among the first institute in India to get so only after ISB. 

There is no particular difference within the specialization but you could connect to the alumni on Linkedin so that you get a better picture of what happens within the college and how they fare after they pass out.

Good luck!

Hello Karthik,

It is the way the college authorities have taken a decision. We won't know the reason why a college accepts scores from a certain exam and why it does not accept scores from another exam. Administration body of a college is concerned to take such decisions and they are not answerable to anyone.

For your knowledge, they accept the scores of exams like CAT, MAT, GMAT, CMAT, and XAT. So you can think about appearing for those exams as well.

Dear Yash,

As per the data provided by you in the question it is quite difficult to get a call at these marks in XAT examination. 

Try to get a good percentile in the exam and then you will have a better chances of getting a call. Since you are a fresher it is best to retake these exams with a greater focus and preparation.

All the best

You can get calls from Goa Institute of Management, Fore School of Management, Institute for Financial Management and Research, T.A. Pai Management Institute.
