Plain and simple dude
if u got a job go for it (u will surely do better next time)
frankly go for tapmi only if u believe u wont get it even next year
else even Infy for a coupla yeras and tapmi looks as a better profile than tapmi for a fresher

I am no pro on this issue but my opinion is that the tag of the institute does carry some weightage and among the A or B category institutes all are considered the same.

If you have the option of going to Infosys then do catch hold of it because after two years of working at Infosys you can again try CAT or else SPJain would be an equivalently good option. Besides, in this case you will have two years for preparation and can even think of joining ISB through GMAT.

From where I see all your options two years hence will be better than TAPMI today. The point is why put your hardwork in a A or B category institute when the same hardwork can take you places in a A+ category B-school.

arre bidu....no question at all.... Take Infy. How can u even think between tapmi and infy... you'll get an IIM next year . Period.

Hey man ,

I think Infy is a better option . Personally , I dont know how good TAPMI is , but I think the placements may not be as good as the A-grade B-Schools . Infy is a better move for tgeh foll. reasons :

1.I hear it has a good work culture
2.Lotta ppl in Infy write CAT every year , so itll be easy to find a study group .
3.2 years in Infy will be very good in your resume if you get IIM calls .
So my advice is , chuck Tapmi for Infy and prep for a year for CAT .

If you have the patience, conviction and confidence in yourself to be able to better your performance in CAT next year while working simultaneously then give CAT another shot! Else , remember that 5 years down the line people will judge you by your performance and not the institute. I'm sure there must be a few people who have failed in life though they r frm IIM-A.
It's your call.
