Remarks

After a thorough check and guidance from many, I came to the conclusion that TAPMI has a very good curriculum and faculty which helps us get good placements. It also has a beautiful campus surrounded by greenery. Applied to the college with CAT score. After the shortlist they called us to a hotel for the admission process in the city of choice among the provided ones. Then GD, Team building activity, PI were conducted for everyone and process was smooth.

Course Curriculum Overview

I love Sales and Marketing. So did not want to waste a chance to directly join in this specialization after hearing that TAPMI is offering it. Marketing & sales faculty are very good here. They are experienced and very knowledgeable faculty. It's mostly online mode now, so have to check offline how the teaching will vary. Term exams usually happen once in two months. Small quizzes happen every month and assignments are given every day. This is a burden. Some subjects are difficult to pass as some of the students don't have that particular background such as accounting.

Class Size: 56Course Fees: INR 8 per year

Internships Opportunities

There were many companies that visited campus for internship offer. Almost 100+ came for marketing roles. Sales and Marketing roles were the hotcakes during this pandemic. Roles like digital marketing, sales, strategy, business development intern etc were offered.

Placement Experience

2.5

From 4th semester students can sit for placement. There many major companies like JP Morgan to ITC that come and offer a good package of up to 30 lakhs and small companies like Accenture provide 10 lakhs. Before the pandemic, the placement record has been 100%.

Fees and Financial Aid

They are charging 7.5 lakhs per annum now. Since it is online they are not charging any hostel fees. But there is no program fee reduction. There are 4 different scholarship schemes and are provided to most eligible candidates. Still yet to get a job.

Campus Life

0.5

Please don't ask. It's online now. No fests yet. Online Library is provided WebEx license has been taken. No sports or extracurricular activities. There are many groups, almost 20 clubs and committees run by students.

Interview Experience

4.5

First-round GD: why India is not a manufacturing giant? This was the topic. Next team building activity: Based on team communication and time constraints. Next is Interview: Checks confidence and interest in course.

Diversity - We have students from 24 states and gender ratio is equal in all the sections of the batch.
Faculties are very well qualified with a minimum of 10-years industry experience from IIT's & IIM's and also with international exposure.
Security in the campus is very robust which ensures complete safety of the students. Also, there is a separate warden in boys and girls hostel along with 2 security guards.

Dislikes

Discipline - The college is very strict regarding dress code and timings.

Placement Experience:

Last year, around 200+ companies came in our campus for recruitment from various sectors of various industries. Most of the students got converted through PPO's during the 4 to 6 month paid ITP program. Students become eligible for placements after passing all the exams in the third trimester and also after completing their POVAT courses. Top Companies that visited our campus are - Deloitte, KPMG, E&Y, Grant Thornton, Wipro, Dabur, Accenture, and many more. The average package was 9 LPA and the highest package offered was 17 LPA. The placement rate for the PGDM is 98%

Faculty is genuinely supportive and always ready to clear doubts, even outside class hours.
Programs like CPMP, IRE, and BMP add real practical value beyond regular textbook learnings.
Campus life is lively with fests, guest sessions and clubs, making it easy to stay engaged.

Dislikes

As a dayscholar, commute during peak traffic hours in Bangalore can get a bit tiring at times.

Based on previous batch records, though, students are typically eligible for placements from the 4th trimester onwards, once internships are completed. GIBS had a strong track record, with over 200+ companies visiting campus, including names like Amazon, Accenture, Wipro, Mahindra Finance, etc. The highest package offered was around 20 LPA, and average package was around 8.3 LPA

B-School of great choice in Bangalore

Likes

The college is usually focused on creating a transformative experience for the students. The students here get exposed to practical knowledge more than just theoretical knowledge in classes.
All the subjects include projects which is mandatory which makes the students to get real time experiences outside the college by meeting people outside college.
The students also get to work on a tight schedule throughout their MBA which is a great thing, there will always be something to keep us occupied like events, competitions and sessions which gives real world exposure to students

Dislikes

The college is strict in most of the aspects as they maintain high discipline all the time
Hostel closing time is at 9PM, so it's more restriction on students to go out and order food

Placement Experience:

The placements are good. The college has totally 6 semesters and after the 4th semester the students are eligible to attend the placements. The students need a minimum of 4.8/8.00 CGGA to sit in the placements The companies which visit here are - EY, KPMG, Mindsprint, Lowe's, Accenture, Tata Power, Infosys, Wipro, TCS, Sabre, Oxane, Well's Fargo.

The average package here is 10.5LPA and most of the companies come for this range. The percentage of students getting placed is close to 95% as some of them don't clear the eligibility and some don't get placement event with good CGPA. Plans after getting degree is to join work and continue to learn

Faculty: The faculty has a good practical and real life knowledge. Which helps in leaning industry standard skills.
Opportunity: College provides good opportunity and exposure for perfect growth of student.

Dislikes

Campus: The campus of college is not very big, which limits students in organizing bigger occasion.

Placement Experience:

College provides a proper assistance for placements, all students gets placed, exception of 2-3 students are there, placements starts for summer internship one two months after entering the college, the procee is on till maximum of students gets placed. In and arround 50-80 companies visit campus for hiring and offers is made to every possible students eligible. Highest package stands at 18 lakhs and is between 10 to 11 lakhs. Nearly every students gets placed, exception of 2-3 students are there. Ambition and aspiration in my views changes as time proceeds, so I believe in short term goal making, though my plans post degree is to get placed in an MNC to kickstart my career from good position, where learning graph is very high.

Typically the average package they offered to people was around 3- 4 lakhs and the highest was way up to 10 lakhs. Our College possessed an active location cell that functioned hard to provide recruitment and other job opportunities to us.
