can you please tell me the average salary in terms of remuneration offered in lacs p.a ?
Also are the profiles offered at the entry-level if a person does not have relevant work ex in this field ?

Average Salary would range 4 lacs p.a. upwards for a fresher. If you have work ex prior to the course it is usually taken into consideration while offerring the placements. If any experience is there in terms of NON-MEDIA sales or marketing it is also considered. The experience needs to be relevant to the position you are being hired for. Being a Non-Media experience is not an issue. Of course, the benefit would be larger in case of it being within media.

for e.g an IT Engineer who wants to take up Marketing as a career .
I am really interested in Marketing Research / Product and Brand Management in the marketing domain . But my work experience is in IT (18 Months) . I know this is not relevant work ex and will not help me making a transition to the marketing field , but what kind of placements and profiles can someone like me expect on passing out of TSM ?

Primarily you can look at pure sales positions. Branding and Marketing would be a bit of an optimisim with your background. However, once you join in the group a lot of opportunities keep coming up as Times Group is one of the most vibrant and dynamic group which keeps launching new products.

first of all , i asked you to throw some light on this programme since i doubt if many people have heard of it .

Programe details can be found at www.tcms.in

Now coming to the specifics ,

What is the average salary offered ?

Salary depends on your Work Ex. Interest, Perfromance, and the company you join as in Times Group Print , Times Internet Limited , Radio Mirchi, Times Now, Zoom, Times Business Solutions - Timesjobs.com etc...
However, a graduate from TSM enjoys a package higher than most people with perhaps a bt more of experience also in Media. Every Year the package is revised with the Market Realities and Current Levels in the company.


Who are the recruiters apart from the Times Group during placements ?

Campus placement is invited only from Bennett, Coleman Co Ltd. (BCCL) This however includes all the various companies under the banner i.e. Print, TV, Radio, Internet, Outdoors etc... Also, the placement is done across departments in the company ranging from Sales, Marketing, Stretegy, Private Treaties , Brand etc....


What is the course fee like ?

When i passed out it was Rs. 1.05 Lacs for the entire course which was actually returned to me as a scholarship when i topped the batch. Subsequently its been increased to Rs. 1.25 lacs. Current fees am not sure of. Will call up college tomrorow and post for your reference and ease.

Other questions shall be asnwered a bit later...running for a meeting.

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
I know this is not AICTE approved , but does it have any other recognition as such ?

What is the course content like ? Does it emphasise mainly on the Media , Ads , Product and Brand Management fields etc ( similar to MICA's flagship marketing and communications programme )

I think i'll stop here for now .

Thanks

What about the programe? Please help me by asking specific questions.

Prospects : Best Launch Pad to get into Media Marketing and Sales across country

Placements : 100% every Year : Mostly within various companies and departments of The Times Group on merit basis. If you apply outside directly it is also highly recognised. Most probably the guy interviewing you would be a TSM Passout also....

Alumni : Very Credible within the Media Industry as well as the world of Marketing as such.

Me just finished going thru some di sets from last mock...wanted to check if my heads still reading things right. It seemed ok.
Had a nice lunch made by mommy.

Now killing some time on pg.

In some time will go look at formulae and stuff...

and then the big thing ....

SHOPPING..... going to pick up 5 new outfits which i gave for making 2 weeks back. Yippee...

Oh yea..had a nice long leaisure filled bath with oodles of self pampering elements added to it in the morning.

Once i get back with the outfits...will go out for some coffee etc with friends...and simply CRASH OUT at night.

BTW one query folks...what kinda watches are u guys using? I have been using the stop watch in the mobile...but cant do so now...a bit of a glitch here...

Hi guys...

Dont u think u guys are digging the wrong hole?
Why is everyone so interested in Munira's LIFE...like a gossip section.

She is a serial CAT 100 %iler....which each one of us people hope and dream to be just this one in CAT 2006.

Common sense indicates it to be more significant to know HOW than WHO!
Ok common sense is very un common....

but logically too... THINK about what u can learn from her...and put into practice people...
Dont waste this precious time space and opportunity on Kyuki saas..... type of questions!

Lets show some respect, intellect and gratitude towards someone who's here to guide and help us...

Hope you guys dont mind my post

Cheers!
