What should be the main preference, new IIMs or old institutions like TAPMI or IMT Ghaziabad?
IIMs give you the brand value that they have garnered over the years. New IIMs are growing at a tremendous pace in terms of placements. New IIMs are better than TAPMI. However, IMT Ghaziabad has an edge in terms of the location and pool of companies that visit the campus.

What is your preference for NMIMS Bangalore, TAPMI, KJ, and Nirma for an MBA course?
If you are 25-26 years of age, I would suggest you go for one more attempt along with your job. If you even get into TAPMI with this much experience there are high chances that you will not get a good placement.
Having this much work experience, you can go for MBA from BLACKI (Banglore, Lucknow, Ahmedabad, Calcutta, Kozhikode, Indore), XLRI Jamshedpur, FMS, and other premium institutes.
These institutes can easily offer a package of more than 25 lacs and even a good strategy and consulting profile and plus you can get a tag for a lifetime which will help you to accelerate your career.

Which is the best college in Bangalore for an MBA/PGDM, TAPMI, SIBM-B, or IIM B?
All three institutes you mentioned - TAPMI, SIBM-B, and IIM B are highly reputed for their MBA/PGDM programs in Bangalore. TAPMI and IIM-B are legacy institutions as they were established in 1980 and 1973 respectively while SIBM-B was established in 2008.
Seems like you are looking for Bangalore colleges only, so I assume you have some constraints regarding shifting to any other city than Bangalore. But if not then you can try and go for some other B-schools in the country. It depends on if you have got calls from all three, in that case go for IIM-B, as it is among the top two or three B-schools in India.
