Remarks:

I got to know about this university on Youtube where I saw a promotional video advertisement while watching a random video. When I searched for the MBA program on its official website, I found the fees structure and several facilities best fit as per my expectations. I confirmed my decision over the call while contacting the admission officer in the campus. My application fees was 500, and my selection process comprised of a written eligibility test, group discussion round and eventually a personal interview round. My CAT score was 65 percentile.

TS< chooses the best candidate for the college. The college accepts MAT, GMAT, CAT, XAT and TANCET exams. I applied for admission through my MAT scores and I was eligible to attend the PI and GD. I was selected in the overall process and offered a seat. IF your entrance exam scores are up to a good level then we can get into the college. If any person has prior experience in work then it would add them more points.

Reviewed on Mar 1, 2020

Admission:

Thiagarajar School of Management being one of the premier institutes in South India and PGDM being its Flagship Program, I had no hesitation in choosing Tsm. The high advantage of PGDM is that you will be involved with a lot of practical sessions rather than classroom learning. Moreover, PGDM is offered only by institutes recognized by All India Council for Technical Education(AICTE) and TSM has been also awarded NBA and NAAC Accreditation. Pgdm is where you can build your soft skills and the curriculum is flexible and does not have to follow university standards and also can be changed by the institutes according to the industry requirements. For admission, You need to take up entrance tests like MAT.CAT,XAT,CMAT and the candidate must have 3 years of bachelor's degree from a recognized university by the UGC. Candidates can apply for admission once the dates are released and the shortlisted candidates need to attend the GD followed by the PI. Candidates from Tamil Nadu can take up the state level entrance examination TANCET and students can apply for counseling and selected candidates are exempted from the GD/PI process and can directly take up admission.
