What would it take for a B-school like TAPMI to appear among top 100 B-schools of the world?
All schools are evaluated based on four key criteria:
- The depth and demanding nature of their educational offerings: The rating rises as the program becomes increasingly challenging and demanding.
- Classrooms' student-to-teacher ratios: The ranking is greater when there are fewer students in a class.
- The faculty's credentials in academia, consultancy, and publications. The ranking increases as the proportion of PhDs actually teaching in classrooms increases. The more PhDs who have written widely used textbooks and published in reputable academic journals, the higher the ranking. The higher the ranking.
- The quantity and nature of job offer their program graduates receive, as well as the prevailing wage for college or university graduates. The higher paying jobs pass outs secure, the higher the rating.
As a student, there isn't much you can do to influence any of the aforementioned elements that determine the university's ranking; that is the administration's responsibility. Even if you were able to meet with university authorities to address this, numerous considerations, including but not limited to salary and space availability, come into play when making judgments regarding issues.
I got admission in TAPMI. How can one make use of this two months gap in a better way so that it will be useful during or post MBA?
These two months can be used in a better way by doing these activities.
- Build your resume: Summer placements begin 8–9 weeks into most B-school programs. Thus, build your resume and examine gaps to determine your focus. After starting college, you'll be swamped with tests, assignments, and more, and top companies will start coming, so you may miss important opportunities.
- Master Advanced Excel and Powerpoint: Most people use these programs, but you must master them. MBA courses and national case study competitions will leverage these tools.
- Take a Short-Term Course: Explore your interests. This course improves learning and gives you a relevant certification. Non-managers benefit greatly.
- Read Newspapers: GD-PI preparation likely included reading newspapers. Continue and follow the news. Future managers, follow global events. Mint, Business Standard, and Economic Times are suitable financial newspapers. Many newspapers offer student discounts.
- Create a LinkedIn Profile: Skip if you have a superb profile. Build one. You can consult alumni. LinkedIn offers profile-based campus editors.

I am a general category non engineer fresher who scored 89.5 percentile in the CAT. Can I get a call from GIM? Also which college is better between TAPMI and FORE in terms of placements and ROI?
To get admission in GIM Goa, I think 89.5 percentile and general non-engineer is a decent profile. People start to get admissions into baby IIMs from 93-94 percentile, so it seems easy at this profile all you need to do is excel in the interview and group discussion (if GIM organizes one).
Between TAPMI and FORE, you can go for TAPMI, as it offers good placements and a good lifestyle, FORE is also a good option if you are a Delhi or nearby resident I would suggest opting for FORE, as the ROI for both the institutes are almost identical. Still, apart from ROI, TAPMI excels in other parameters.
Which college would be best between management colleges like TAPMI Manipal, GOA Institute of Management, Great Lakes Chennai, and FORE Institute Delhi?
Based on location, reputation, and potential for job placement, the first college on the list, "Great Lakes," is the best, but it is only for people with work experience and not for freshers.
"FORE," located in Delhi, is the second best college and its institutional location makes industry exposure easy.
"Goa Institute," is not as good as the first two but still has good characteristics.
Last on the list is "TAPMI," which lacks a strong alumni base, and its graduates may have less networking and job chances than graduates from other universities with larger alumni networks.
