Thiagarajar School of Management Madurai Answered Questions

There will be a Fresher's party given by us around September 1st-2nd week, and not during the commencement of your course. This trend has been followed over the years, and hence we'll abide by the same. For, what's included in it, you going to watch out!

A student has to keep 85% compulsory attendance in all individual subjects. If it is in between 75%-85%, you lose 1 Grade i.e. suppose you get A+in a subject, you will be demoted to A, and if it is in between 65%-75%, you will lose 2 Grades, i.e. A- in this case. If attendance is less than 65%, you are not allowed to give the exam!

Yes, there is a Facebook group. It is not possible for me to add everyone in the group, as you know, some students may not like joining any group and stuff like that, on Facebook. It is up for students to join. A post on TSM's official page has been made regarding the Facebook Group. Please take a look. Thank you for writing! Feel free to ask any questions. Have a nice day!

Yes, I think around Rs. 3000/- to 5000/-, as it is a really expensive trip. You will have some amazing food, and you will stay in a 3-star hotel. It will be once in a lifetime experience, believe me. :) I also forgot to mention that we have Rural Immersion Program in the first year, and that is another trip to look forward to.

Yes, you will have two tours. One is an Industrial Visit and Boot Camp, exclusively for PGDM. We were taken to TCS, Siruseri, and Brakes India Ltd, Vellore. The Boot Camp was in Madrantakam, Tamil Nadu, where your teamwork will be tested my Retd. Major Roy, through various events like Rock Climbing, Rappeling, Bridge Building, Obstacle Course etc. It was a very good experience for us, and it will be for you too, I'm sure.
You will also have an excursion, this time both MBA and PGDM. We were taken to Coorg. You will be taken to some other place this time. Enjoy!

Yes, it will be decided by the college mostly, but you may also recommend where you want to go. It might be considered if it is found to be feasible. Education will be in South India only, as the Boot Camp in Madrantakam is visited by every batch. For excursion, you can suggest some places, and ask your friends to do the same.

You being in top 10 doesn't guarantee you the the best job with the best package. Sometimes, it has been seen that students who have got very high grades could only crack a job with an average salary, while students who had arrears got the higest salary. As I have said, it all boils down to how you perform in the interview day. Grades are just an entry ticket for you to apply for the job, as a few companies demand above 7 CGPA, or a student should have no history of arrears, etc. So, getting good grades doesn't guarantee you a good job. It's how you perform in the interview is all that matters. Have a decent CGPA, and you're good to go. Highest salary this year was 7.5 lacs, offered by Whirlpool. Lowest is 4 lacs, and average 5.6 lacs. Thank you!
