2. Yes this year they provided us laptops, 14" Toshiba Centrino power Machine......

Hi Aayush,

Coming to your query regarding the difference between PDGM (BFSI) and PGDM (finance), lemme answer it to the best of my knowledge.

First and foremost, let me inform you that the first year of study is common for all the courses and all the students would be studying the same set of subjects. This is done to ensure that every student has a strong knowledge of the basics of management.

In the second year, students of the flagship PGDM course have the option of choosing their majors from amongst a host of functions like finance, marketing, systems, operations, HR etc. TAPMI even allows a student to have multiple majors.

On the other hand, the new course, PGDM(BFSI) is a sector-specific course and the students will not have the option of choosing their major in the second year. The course focuses specifically on the Banking and Financial Services sector and hence covers electives like venture capital, Hire-purchase and leasing, Insurance etc.

On the other hand, PGDM with a major in Finance involves study of electives such as Managerial accounting, Financial management, corporate finance, control systems etc.

Hope this answers your query,

Bell the CAT !

Hi...
last year few of my friends who applied for TAPMI told me that there was a question in the appln form regarding the purpose for which we want to pursue PGDM programme at TAPMI.i'm sure what we write in the form would be dissected during the PI so what should be the appropriate answer?

Hi Manjushaa,

The practice of asking the purpose of pursuing PGDM at TAPMI will substantiate your clarity of thought. And, there is no a specific answer to this question. It varies to a greater extent, person to person. Our only suggestion is that "Be as genuine as possible when you write". The rest will automatically fall in place. And interact with your friends at B-Schools, your peers and most importantly ask yourself consciously to arrive at the best answer. I know, I am going out of board in giving philosophical answer. But that is the fact!

hi manjushaa,

Personally I dont think there is anything like an appropriate reply when it comes to a PI . It all depends on two people's psyche - the person who wrote it (read you) and the panelist interviewing you.

I can only advise you to write what you feel. It does not have to be full of fancy or heavy words to create an impact. It would work better if u wrote something which you are convinced about bcoz in the interview you might have to convince the panel about the same.

So, take your time and think about why you really wanna do the course. Someone else's words on your form will not really help.

Best of luck for CAT !

A big Thank U to both the seniors for the prompt reply but honestly the only reason y an MBA aspirant would wish to make it to TAPMI or any other good B school would be because of the reputation of the institute wherein he/she can learn the language of business in the best possible way.but y TAPMI in particular and not some other institute?i don't have an answer.i cant comment on the campus,infrastructure,course content,faculty bcoz i've never directly visited the place and i dont know anyone in the faculty there so i can't state those things in my answer.back to square 1.

Hi,

Thanks for staring the TAPMI thread. I have one query:

Does the college provide hostel accommodation for married people, if they want to bring their spouse along?

Thanks,
Mohit.

Last year' overall cutoff was 92%tile and there no sectional cutoff as such. Let me get back to you with more accurate figure with respect to GMAT score. As far as, we know, all your work experience and academic performance comes in the later part of the selection... Not for getting the GD/PI call....
