Hi Guys,
This information is for all Tapmi aspirants.. and as far as I am concerned this information hold good.
Well lets start with the infrastructure facilities, this is one area which is very important while selecting a b-school, the kind of infrastructure which Tapmi is going to have when you guys come in will be comparable to the best in the country,

Is it confirmend that the new batch joining TAPMI will move into the new campus ?
I think they revised the date to Early 2005 now which was like 2004 end in the prospectus ...
Hows the existing infrastructure ???

Also PGians would surely like to hear tips from you about the selection process

Otherwise hows manipal?? i have my interview on 20th apr and have been told to be prepared to stay an other day(like everyone else !!) .. would hostel accomadation be good or u cud suggest some hotels close to the campus

hey
can any one out there tell that how much they emphasize on academics .. i heard they ask u your fav subjects (2-3) and they grill u on that ...im in my final year of MSC in computer application and Infoamtion technology...
so what should i expect from them .... a wide range of questions ???
help me out here
thanks

Hi Everyone ,
I had given my Tapmi interview last year so I thought I wil post my interview experience .The post by Emperor is exactly what I went through but lemme give you the specifics..
1.First Round :A case study about a person selling pianos who wud not employ anyone else for fear of losing control.We were asked to liken the thinking of the manufacturer to that of a business organisation ,its pros and cons.
2.A 360 degree appraisal where in each of us were asked to write on a sheet of paper who we thought were the top three and the bottom three in the discussion.
3.A 3 minute extempore.Each would be given 3 mminutes for preparation .Topics were abstract as well as related to current affairs(for instance I spoke on Iraq war it was as current as it could have got)
4.A psychometric test which was nothing but a Jo-Harry window analysis questionnaire(Google for more info.)
5.Personal Interview:Golden rule.If you are a fresher questions on acads if not questions on work and related industry.I was also asked "Whos Ramalingam Raju?" and they also asked me what Flexcube was.
I had a pretty freewheeling interview and at one point the oone of the panel members(there were two ) told me that "You seem to know everything .Why dont you ask us something?"
6.An interview with the senior most professors where in they would ask innocuous questions like "Why do you have a black and white photograph?" .The boss
( I mean the owner) Mr. Nagabrahma was lying in a sofa when asking questions in this round.
I got the final call in two weeks time but decided to give it a go and write Cat again.
Guys one tip and please take it seriously.. read the Frontline before you go for any B-School interview.For all the interviews that I have been so far to it has invariably given me an edge over others
All the very best!!!

This will help you all. This was reported last year by anand_12_12.

hi guys
my tapmi gd pi got over at tapmi campus on april 3rd.
something abt tapmi.....
infrastructure not great...
too many distractions in the form of girls (and each one of them pretty and hotttt to the coooorrreee, as in the general junta in manipal, viz,Kasthurbha medical college( i even felt that, that was one of their eligibility criterion for girls))
didnt find any tapmi junta as they were out for summers...
so if studies are what is in ur mind then i donno.....

okay comin to the process..
there were 7 rounds
1 gd (case study) was a fish market.... 15 people out of which 12 turned up
2 oral summary
3 written summary
4 360 degree appraisal (u mention who the best 3 and worst 3 speakers are)
5 extempore speech for 3 minutes.
6 psychometric test.
7 1st round interview by academic panel 1 guy from the industry and 2 profs)
it was a li'l stress especially the guy from the industry who is at max 25 yrs pld.
8 final interview by the director and 3 senior profs.

and u r pooped after that.

anybody who wants to know anything in particular can ask me.

cheerz
anand

got my first call...... how long have i waited for this day! no call from mica..... my VA marks must have let me down.
my scores....VA/qa/di=22.5/16/19.5

hi guys, today recd the call letter from Tapmi. gd/pi is on 12th april at 8:30 am. Wonder how to make it at such an "unearthly hour"

in the letter its mentioned that we've to get a Reference Letter in support of candidature from a citizen of good social or professional standing.

Now, a/c to Tapmi who could best fit the bill? Neigbours? Boss @ Office? Tapmi fellas on the PG board, can you enlighten us?

Hi Guys,
This information is for all Tapmi aspirants.. and as far as I am concerned this information hold good.
Well lets start with the infrastructure facilities, this is one area which is very important while selecting a b-school, the kind of infrastructure which Tapmi is going to have when you guys come in will be comparable to the best in the country, each student will be given a laptop supported with a wi-fi connection.
The placement season this year was really great big cos like infy, wipro, sify, asian paints, icici bank, titan, TVS-m,Polaris, TCS..etc were here with packages ranging from 3.5 - 7.5 lacs/yr.
As compared to other b-schools I myself left SCMHRD for Tapmi, but it is a personal choice because in terms of quality of education it is comparable to the IIM's, however it is NOT an IIM.
I can say that you can safely leave IMI, FORE, IMT, SIIB etc for TAPMI.

any other information which you guys need, please do not hesitate in contacting me..

Regards,
Raj.

P.S The above information is personal experience and opinion, please take a decision based on all the factors which affect you, suggest do a Cost Benefit Analysis.

Congrats to all who got a call from TAPMI.

I have a score of about 40. How come I haven't got a call

To those of you who have got the calls, all the best

hey folks!!
I am very happy that i got my first call based on cat....
but even now I am a bit worried about the reputation of the institute and in dilemna whether i should go for admission (if i get in TAPMI ) or write cat again....
By the way i expected a score of 47 in CAT and right now i am preparing for my final semester exams which are commencing from 22 mar...
so will there be any option available to postpone gd/pi date?????
any suggestions???

ho ho..never worry for reputations..if u r a good students...a collgee like tapmi is cool enuf to see urself a salary of min 5 lakhs....
is that right folks....
sivaram

suprises leave me......now...
what any body expecting tapmi call with a score of 39-40...
i got the call for such a score...iam absolutely taken aback...and didnt even check untill i was told....i surely made..it....
i guess they called everyone above 80 percentile..that only seems to me the obvious reason for my call....
anyways another factor that cud have been my side cud be my acad of 85% in chemical engg...
anyways...i have alrady paid fees for scmhrd ...so...
all the best to u all guys.....my interview is on 16th april which iam not attendidng....
sivaram

Guys my expected score is just 39 how come i got a call. Todays my lucky day. Hope team India has some luck defending 244 today.
