Which management college would be better T.A.P.M.I or IIM Kashipur?
Let’s compare both colleges on the basis of the following factors
Fees: IIM Kashipur - 11+ lacs, TAPMI - 14+ lacs.
Infrastructure: TAPMI has a decent campus, but it’s not at the level of IIM Kashipur’s infrastructure that resembles Harvard School of Business.
Average Salary: TAPMI - 9+ lacs, IIM Kashipur - 12+ lacs.
Faculties: IIM Kashipur and IIM Udaipur have the highest number of permanent faculties among the new IIMs.
Location: Both institutes are located in serene locations. However, IIM Kashipur is located near the Rudrapur belt - one of the densest industrial belts of India. Thus it enjoys an industrial advantage over TAPMI.
IIM Tag: The IIM tag along with a strong alumni base is very beneficial.
Considering my credentials, can I get a call from any of these colleges, IIMs, FMS, XLRI or NMIMS, MICA, TAPMI, or SIBM?
Colleges may call depending on numerous variables. IIMs rarely call candidates without a 95+ percentile. IIMs exclusively accept top academic and overall candidates. Other colleges like FMS, XL, SPJIMR, and MDI assess the candidate's whole profile, giving them a little edge. These institutions consider work experience, extracurriculars, and leadership skills in addition to academic performance.
Even after being accepted to a top college, a candidate's academic performance may affect their placements, which could damage their job chances. The only thing candidates can control is their CAT/XAT score. So they should try their best and then decide.
