Yes, you do have a chance. However, the selection process is also dependent on other factors(exam score and your performance in the selection process).

Best of luck!

Hi Team,

I am planning to give CAT & XAT this year.
Do I have to apply for TAPMI separately for CAT & XAT score?

Hi,
You can specify the score of any single exam when you apply to TAPMI. Later in selection process you may disclose the your scores secured in other exams.

All applicants would be given chance to participate in the selection process.

Hi Team,

Thanks for the reply!!!
how hard will it be to convert GD-PI calls to convert!!!
Suppose i am wait-listed , how much of a chance do I have to convert?
Actually I am primarily giving cat, so as to get into tapmi, so the answers are heartily awaited!!!

Hi Sudip,

Trust me, although we feel anxious during the process, any GD/PI is easy to be converted if one demonstrates competance and balance during the selection process.

Regarding the wait-list question, it depends on many factors. As of now I would recommend you to concentrate on exam. I was in your shoes last year and understand your rationale. Have faith in yourself. Hard work defintely pays off.

Hi Sudip747,

Please go through the FAQs on page 1 to find out the cost of pursuing MBA at TAPMI.

And no, placements are not concentrated to a particular region in the country.

Like it has been mentioned previously, CAT score is only one of the few parameters required to convert a call from TAPMI.
Last year, CAT scores over all accounted for 30%
VA: 15%
DI: 10%
QA: 5%
After this your performance in the subsequent selection rounds is what matters. Don't worry about how difficult it is to get into TAPMI, go ahead and perform well. I'm sure you'll make it!

Dear Crackpots,
My answer was in addition to what Siddharth told. Siddharth had answered your query, my answer was to clarify that we are not going to fill up all 465 seats that you were worried about in your post. And you will agree with me that it is easy to place 360 students as compared to 465..

Hope now its clear now...

Thanks a lot!:splat:
Ya i understood.Just like 465 is better than 1000

Hello puys!
After reading the posts,i would like to know:-

1) what is overall cat% needed to secure a convert(not call) from TAPMI?

how difficult is getting into tapmi
2) what is the cost of persuing MBA at tapmi???
3) are placements concentrated to a particular region, or all over the country???
Looking forward to replies

Crackpots Says

what!!!! 465 seats???cant say about the future student quality but tapmi is surely gonna face placement probs!!

To add to what Siddharth told,
We had a meeting with management today, We are not going to fill up all the seats which are permitted. Next year seats will be filled from 300 to 360 depending upon the quality students we get. It means NO compromise on quality of students.
Hope this helps you to understand that Quality of students is given first preference over anything else.

hey as per the last yr's process,15% weightage in final list is assigned to work-ex.......i dont have work ex, what ar chaces of converting the call if i get sumthing like 80% in CAT?? (with good acads)

Hi,

Work experience is not the sole criteria for selection. Do not worry on this aspect as if you are able to demonstrate right frame of mind and competance, you would be able to convert.
Wishing you and all the aspirants best of luck for their exams. Hope to see you all at TAPMI.

Hi veersahani,

We have a good number of freshers in the current and previous batches. Having no work ex will not really hinder your chances of getting a call. Moreover, in addition to CAT scores, it all boils down to your performance in the selection process, your profile, extra-curricular activities and so on.

Hello khanjan,
My query was tilted more towards the future placement scenario,which i believe would make any aspirant , like me, worry about.

Hw mch wghtage z gvn Wrk ex nd wat z d minimum cat prcentle cnsidered...??

hi sunnysankalp,

here is the detailed procedure that was followed last year for admission @ TAPMI.

Stage-1: Group-Discussion: The weightage attached to this component is 40%, which means the maximum marks one can get are 40. The remaining 60% weightage to other components is split up as follows:

a) Weightage for overall CAT percentile score : 30%
b) Weightage for Verbal section : 15%
c) Weightage for Logical & Data Interpretation section : 10%
d) Weightage for Quantitative section : 5%
TOTAL WEIGHTAGE FOR CAT examination : 60%
(Weightage of 60% for GMAT is calculated on overall score)

Stage-2: Candidates scoring an aggregate of 65 marks and above in Stage 1 will qualify for Stage-2 of the selection process i.e., Personal Interview and Written Skill assessment.
However, the weightage for the score obtained in Stage-1 will be limited (converted) to 30% as the candidate moves on to Stage-2. This Stage has components like
(i) personal interview by Faculty Panel and Directors panel (35% weightage),
(ii) written skill assessment (5%),
(iii) academic record (15%) and
(iv) work experience (15%) when the final rank-list is prepared.

Hello,
TAPMI currently has AICTE approval for 465 seats for regular PGDM and 60 seats for PGDM (Healthcare). Till date the institute has never compromised with quality. The number of intake would be updated soon.

Regarding quality, the achievement by students(link) and the institute(link) says it all.

Hey there,

Last year, everyone who applied was called for the GD round which was an elimination round. However, the final admission will depend on your performance in the selection process, in addition to various other parameters like work-ex and extra-curricular activities, and yes TAPMI is looking for people from diverse backgrounds. Hope this answers your query.

Hi!

1. how are the faculties of TAPMI?
   
2. with the strength of the last year's batch of 180+60, will there be a problem in arranging placement for all?As in i saw that TAPMI had arranged 45 companies for 120 students last year so, won't it be a difficulty in arranging 45/2=22.5=23 more companies:shocked: (at least 45+23=68 companies in total)for the batch within a year ?and that too for pgdm alone,let alone pgdm-hcm??please throw some inputs in it..
   

Faculties at TAPMI. This is a qualitative question, but let me assure you that we have some of the best faculties in Marketing. We get good faculties in Finance as Guest Faculties. So do not worry about quality of Faculty.

About the number of companies.
Let me tell you that numbers don't work the way you shown.
The point is many companies increase the number of recruit from the campus if they find people with relevant profile. So we will be able to meet the requirement partially by increase in the recruitment by existing companies and partially by increase in the number companies coming to campus.

I am not saying that bringing companies to the campus is easy job, but believe me, we have seen how it works and everyone here is working towards the same goal of making relationship better with corporate world and show them the talent we have.

Hi!

what were the overall and sectional cutoffs for last year.?
what was the lowest salary ?

To answer your first query,
Last year the admission procedure was like this:

There were no cutoffs. Having said that it doesn't mean that sectional will not come into picture. It was given due weightage..

Procedure was like this:
Phase 1: GD round (elimination round)
Everyone was called for GD round
To reach the next round that is Interview you need to score 65 out of 100.
where
CAT over all accounted for 30%
VA: 15%
DI: 10%
QA: 5%
and GD: 40%

So if you can achieve 65% out of these scores you will be in round 2 that is interview round.


Now the second query, about packages offered last year:
Highest offer being Rs 13.5 lakhs (an increase of about 45% over last year's highest),
median salary of 8 lakhs and
lowest salary of 5.9 lakhs (an increase of about 50% over last year's lowest)


Hope I have answered your query..

what were the overall and sectional cutoffs for last year.?
what was the lowest salary ?
