    Good College and Infrastructure.
    Placements: The number of students placed is 60% of students, and the highest package is 7 LPA, while the lowest is 2 LPA. Top recruitment is from sales companies. The percentage of people getting internships is very low, and roles offered depend on the company that comes.
    Infrastructure: The faculty is very good and nice, and they are very well-educated and knowledgeable. They explain in a very good manner. The infrastructure is also average, well-designed, and good for the students. However, a hostel isn't present for this, and meals are good in the canteen.
    Faculty: The teachers are helpful for the first two years; later, students are needed to study on their own. They are knowledgeable. This course is good and relevant and good to students. The difficulty depends on how students study and read.

    Infrastructure: The infrastructure of college was so good. The quality of the furniture is also good.

    It's a great college for those who scored 85-90% in academics with 9-11 LPA salary package post-MBA.

    Infrastructure: The infrastructure of our college is very good with Bloomberg labs. Classrooms are air-conditioned and well-equipped with projectors and whiteboards. The library at TAPMI is the 2nd largest in Karnataka with state-of-the-art facilities.

TAPMI hosts a 50-day long sports tournament and has 8 games. It has ground as well as several indoor facilities to promote sports.
    Faculty: Teaching quality is decent, and the teachers are helpful in clearing doubts. The course curriculum is average, but students are groomed and given training through guest lectures and workshops. However, it needs improvement.
    Other: I have chosen this course because this course is my best option post CAT, and also our seniors recommended it. I enjoyed the campus life and made new friends here. Faculty members here need to be a little more student-friendly and cooperative, and management needs to be less strict and ease restrictions on the students. It has its annual fests like Atharva and several other events like BrandScan, Meraki, QoTB and Bloomberg Championship that helps in overall development.

    Good faculty, with very big campus and infrastructure and good overall placement.
    Placements: Since MSM is a new course, so comparing it with other courses is not right. TAPMI as a college has given the highest CTC of 20 LPA. And its average remained about 11 LPA. MSm as a new course offers a new field to work in. There is a great demand for a good salesperson in the market, And our course outline is completely based on that aspect.

TAPMi also fully Air conditioned Library which for students convenience opens till 4 Am in morning. This goes to show how committed TAPMI is regarding education. There is central Air conditioned Student centre where all the foods are sold. With 5 different shops to choose from, There is also a store in the campus for all your small and general needs.
    Faculty: TAPMI has one of the best teachers when it comes to MBA. And here at TAPMi education is given top preference compared to other activities. Course curriculum is very relevant as our course curriculum is designed to make students industry ready when it comes to sale.
    Other: MSM is new course which focuses on the sales aspect of industry. There is a big demand for good salesperson in industry. I choose this course because I good prior experience in sales and this course is going to fill the gap of knowledge about sales.
