Hi Puys,

XAT, GMAT, MAT(December 2012) and GRE scores, in addition to CAT scores for PGDM-HCM*.
* For more details please refer to admissions brochure.
Who are eligible for admissions?
o A three-year (10+2+3 or 10+2+4) University Degree in any discipline, recognised by the AIU as eligible for Post
Graduation, with not less than 50% overall aggregate marks. This applies to also those with professional
qualifications like Chartered Accountancy, Cost Accounting and Company Secretary. Candidates appearing for
final year degree examination may also apply. However such candidates, if selected by TAPMI, are required to
produce proof of completion of graduation by the time they join the PGDM Programmes and submit their mark-
lists and other testimonials within the stipulated date.
What is the last date of application submission?
o The last date for application submission online is 15 February, 2012.
Where can I obtain the prospectus & Application form?
o The Prospectus or Handbook of Information for Admissions 2012 would be available at Coaching centers of IMS,
T.I.M.E as well as branches of Axis Bank, Syndicate Bank and HDFC Bank
The bank account shows that I have made the payment, but the application process is not showing complete. What should
I do?
o You would need to drop a mail to support@nopaperforms.com with a copy marked to admissions2012@tapmi.edu.in citing the details of problems faced. The admissions team would revert to you for
assistance.
I have already submitted the application form. How can I make changes to my details?

What are the courses offered at TAPMI?

  1. Post Graduate Diploma in Management (PGDM) -
  2. Post Graduate Diploma in Management (Healthcare Management) - PGDM (HCM)

Are there any sectional cutoffs for getting shortlisted to the next round?
1. There are no clear-cut sectional cutoffs; however, a decent performance across all the sections in expected to get a call for the second round

Does TAPMI shortlist only by cut-off scores in CAT/XAT/GMAT/GRE of candidates for second stage (GD/PI)?
1. No. For Admissions 2012 TAPMI intends to go in for profile-based short-listing for GD/PI, which means that due weight-age would be assigned to components like Academic record/ Professional qualifications /Work-experience etc while the short-list is prepared.

Does it mean that CAT//XAT/GMAT/GRE cut-off scores would be different for each candidate?
1. Yes. In such a system it would be different because a candidate with a good Professional degree and considerable Work-experience stands a better chance of qualifying for GD/PI even with a comparatively lower CAT/GMAT score vis--vis a fresher.
