Infrastructure: The infrastructure of college was so good. The quality of the furniture is also good. They have all facilities like Wi-Fi, labs, and an awesome library which is among the best in India. But the college needs auditorium. The seminar hall is small according to the crowd of college.
Faculty: Teachers were so good. They helped us in every situation. They all are well qualified. They all have great knowledge of their subject. They taught more practically rather than theory. The course curriculum is so effective. The result of college were always good.

It's a great college for those who scored 85-90% in academics with 9-11 LPA salary package post-MBA.
Placements: Placements in our college are quite decent. The average salary package offered is around 11 LPA, and in 2020, it is 10 LPA. The highest salary package offered is around 25 LPA, and the lowest salary package offered is around 8 LPA. Generally, 100% of the students got placed, but in 2020, around 90% of the students got placed. Roles offered are financial, marketing and IT consulting in reputed companies. Financial roles mainly include financial analyst, risk analyst and advisory roles. Marketing roles are mainly into the sales domain like area sales manager, territory sales manager, etc. IT roles involve cybersecurity consulting, pre-sales and consulting. Notable companies are Deloitte, EY, KPMG, Accenture, ITC, Wipro, Infosys, ICICI Bank, Jockey India, Magicbricks.Com, K12 Techno Services, Citi Group, HDFC Bank, Qualcomm, HSBC, Mahindra & Mahindra, ICICI Prudential, Berger Paints, etc.
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. The hostel is decent with air-conditioned rooms and attached bathrooms, and cleaning is done on alternative days. Overall the hostel is quite well-maintained. 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.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure is well placed over the area of 17 hectare. With 5 hostel (3 Boys and 2 Girls) it offers a large area for student activities. 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.

Review of T.A Pai Management Institute.
Placements: Almost 100% of the students got placed. The highest salary package offered is 20 LPA. The lowest salary package offered is 8.5 LPA. The average salary package offered is 10 LPA. Companies like Deloitte, ICICI, Valuelabs, Ab InBev, EY, Godrej&Boyce, Citi, Tata, Tresvista, etc., visited our campus for placements. Consulting, risk advisory, associate director, etc., were roles offered to students. Almost100% of the students got an internship in companies like Deloitte, EY, KPMG, Diageo, Valuelabs, Eli Lilly, Tresvista.
Infrastructure: Classrooms are equipped with air-conditioners, projector and individual charging ports. The campus is Wi-Fi enabled. The library is opened for 24 hours. There is a Bloomberg lab, and also a student centre. Hostel facility with a single and double room. Hostels are equipped with air-conditioners. There is a 24 hours generator back up. Water facility and laundry services are available 24 hours. There is a general store, beauty parlour inside the campus. The food is provided by four different vendors serving all type of food. Night canteen facility is also available here. There are a nurse, doctor and ambulance on the campus. Sports facilities such as basketball court, volleyball court, cricket training nets, etc., are available here.
Faculty: The course is case-based. Faculty explains concepts using cases. Teaching quality is good with few teachers having more than 20 years of work experience. Almost all faculty members are PhD holders. The course curriculum is relevant, and it is continually updated to keep it industry-relevant by taking regular feedback from the industry.
Other: I wanted to get major in marketing and get a minor in operations, hence took the general PGDM course. The best thing is the case-based learning and the simulations. There is nothing to be improved in our course. Atharva is the b-school fest of Tapmi having a legacy of 32 years, and it is one the oldest B-school fests every year. Another famous event is BrandScan which is a market research event. Those these events are completely student-driven wherein sponsorship comes through associations with companies. The campus crowd is a mix of freshers and people with work experience from all parts of the country. The campus is situated on a hill in a lush green environment away from the hustle-bustle. The nearest airport is 1 hour away, i.e., Bangalore Airport and the nearest railway station is Udupi, i.e., 20 minutes away. College offers scholarships to candidates with high CAT/XAT scores. Extracurricular activities can be in the form of joining the various committees and forums in the college.
