What is the amount that is needed to spend to survive a month in hostel at the MBA program at TAPMI, Manipal? As in, food, electricity bills, outings etc? What is the minimum and maximum amount needed
People there usually have a monthly spending of 50K if they have a vehicle/bike and eat out almost every day. If you don’t party or eat out, you could last on less than 4000 rupees/month. A person living frugally for 22 months could only possibly need to spend 79K. You will also have to pay 500–600 per person every month for power. This is possible to manage in a large non-AC room. In conclusion, it’s definitely possible to live without spending a whole deal of money at TAPMI.
I have planned to do an MBA from one of these colleges: LIBA, TAPMI, IMNU, GLIM, SIMSR, BIM Trichy. Which of these colleges would you suggest?
Student strength, ROI, average package, campus, faculty-student ratio, alumni base, and placements determine the candidate's college choice.
Due to its low student population and one-year flagship programme, the Great Lakes Institute of Management (GLIM) is the top college. GLIM also attracts prominent firms for placements. If the candidate can afford it, they should select it.
T.A.pai Management Institute (TAPMI) has a gorgeous campus and fun classes, however its ROI is lower than other universities. Due to the huge student intake, not everyone may find a favorable placement.
Bharathidasan Institute of Management (BIM) Trichy boasts a low tuition, strong alumni, and high placements at McKinsey and Asian Paints. For individuals interested in South Indian culture, BIM boasts a great faculty-student ratio.
SIMSR's average package is 10 LPA. However, those with more than two years of experience may feel underpaid.
LIBA has low tuition but a lower average package than other institutions. If no other option exists, the applicant could choose LIBA.
IMNU offers good placements and stress-free student life.
Which college is better, TAPMI or IIM Sirmaur?
Among these, TAPMI is the obvious choice. Compared to IIM Sirmaur, it is older and has a well-developed alumni base. The institute has a remarkable placement record. TAPMI placements 2022 shows the average package to be INR 12.6 LPA. While the highest CTC offered this year was INR 32.2 LPA. Capgemini, HCL, and Accenture are some of the major recruiters that took part in the placement drive.
Baby IIMs such as IIM Sirmaur fall behind in terms of academics, curriculum, and faculty.

TAPMI:
-
Laboratories: One of the most exclusive reasons for choosing TAPMI is a well-equipped Finance Lab which helps students gain hands-on experience and understand core financial concepts through practical studies as opposed to only theory. The lab is equipped with 16 Bloomberg terminals and 7 Thomson Reuters terminals.
-
Curriculum: The course curriculum for PGDM BKFS at the institute is CFA C-BOK (certified body of knowledge) and FRM (Financial Risk Management) certified and meets the latest global industry standards.
-
Faculty: The program in Banking and Finance is backed by experienced faculty members who have years of experience in academics and industry.
-
Accreditation: It is one of the few management institutions in the country to have a two-tier global accreditation, i.e AMBA, and AACSB.
-
Extra-Curricular: The institute organizes multiple events, workshops, and industry visits to provide students with a well-rounded experience. Student managed investment funds and multiple club activities are all part of the module in finance.
IMT-G:
-
It offers a PGDM program in Finance that has an industrial and financial backing overlooking a high number of companies for recruitments but fails to provide a high placement rate considering an exceptionally high batch size, which keeps the majority of the students from getting a full-time job.
-
It observes the highest placements in the marketing department and sees very few core companies for finance, with corporate finance and banking jobs marking the minority. Apart from the brand name of IMT, it is not considered to be the best institute for a program in Finance.
KJ Somaiya:
The institute offers PGDM programs in Finance which are well-structured but fail to impress in terms of management and placements. While the fee structure of the program is lower compared to the other institutes, it observes many good companies as part of their recruitment drive due to the location, but still has an overall low placement rate within the Finance sector.
Given the three options, the best institute for a program in Finance would definitely be TAPMI School of Business for the well-structured curriculum, good placement opportunities, and facilities provided.
Does Tapmi manipal provide laptops to students?
No, TAPMI does not provide any laptops to their students. As far as I know and when I last checked TAPMI Manipal does not provide laptops to its students and it has not provided in the past as well.
But you can use the discounts provided to students while buying laptops for almost all the brands, anytime during the course time. You can take loans from banks, to buy laptops as well.
Many universities and colleges do have policies or programs to help students to obtain laptops or provide them with laptops directly and some other necessary technology, but this varies depending on the institution and its resources. For the latest update, it is advisable to reach out to the school directly for the most up-to-date and accurate information, and research before joining the college. Hope it answers your question. Cheers!
