Is it wise to leave a group C job of tax assistant at Mumbai Customs for pursuing an MBA where the only calls are from TAPMI, KJ, Great Lakes & XIMB HRM?
It all depends on your goals and aspirations but these colleges will give you a good value for money. If you want to switch and pursue a career in management then it is a good choice to leave the job and enroll in any of these colleges or if you like government jobs and want stability in your career then continue with your current job. Even if you take a loan you don’t have to start paying it back right away, you will get at least a year of moratorium and the student or education loan has one of the least interest rates, worry not.

How good is the PGDM in IT/systems at TAPMI? Are there good placements in that sector?
TAPMI is a top B-school. It's also reputable. IT/Systems placements are uncertain. I'll add that IT/Systems are fading. Focus on AI-ML, Data Science, and Business Analytics to succeed in IT. Dual specialization like AI+ML, Marketing+Business Analytics, etc. is even better.
Ashoka School of Business (ASB Hyderabad) is a top B-school offering this combination. IISWBM Kolkata, FMS Delhi, ITM Mumbai, etc. are similar colleges. ASB Hyderabad has great ROI and placements.
