What is TAPMI?
TAPMI is one of the best B-schools among the other Tier 2 B-schools in India. TAPMI has raised the bar in recent years. This Manipal college is fighting hard with a stunning campus.
Campus infrastructure: Classrooms are better than many good B-schools. Well-equipped library and computer lab. It has no auditorium, thus students are inducted at a city auditorium. Hostel rooms are average. Good chaos, but often bad cuisine.
Average sporting facilities: TAPMI offers a variety of sports opportunities and physical activities for students to engage in. Cricket, basketball, volleyball, badminton, etc are some popular sports among students in TAPMI.
Faculty: Good and learned faculties teach students at TAPMI. The professors have work experience and industry exposure before teaching, so you get to learn a more practical approach to management.
Strictness: TAPMI is strict. Lift mountains to go home or out. Too many formalities to go home. Curfews are set in stone. No holidays. Complex dress codes. They often threaten placement bans and follow through.
Campus life: Hang out with friends until late on campus. The fests and festivities aren't as good as other institutions. The professor loves attendance, making intercollegiate competitions difficult!
Placements: 100% placement! Summer placements boost the average. Profiles are average. Location hurts placements. The place comm works hard. Placements are difficult due to their strength.TAPMI graduates CFOs and CMOs. Good alumni network.

Most of the career and guidance websites have put TAPMI in the Tier-3 category. Comparing an MBA program from TAPMI to a master's in finance from a foreign country would certainly require us to know more details about the context.
If I talk about the ROI, TAPMI offers MBA programs across multiple domains in the fee range of 16 lacs - 19 lacs and has an average salary package of 13 lacs.
The cost of study at the University of Otago is surprisingly at par with TAPMI but the cost of living would definitely put your pockets off. The University of Otago charges a fee according to the courses you have enrolled in. The more subjects you take the more you gotta pay.
