If we consider NIRF 2022 rankings, TAPMI is at 38 and KJ Somaiya ranks at 71 but if we consider Times Ranking KJ Somaiya went way ahead and stood at 7th rank while TAPMI is at 34. KJ Somaiya and TAPMI have almost the same fees, in terms of placement TAPMI has a high hand.
IMT marketing is great, but TAPMI is famous for its finance program. Bloomberg Lab benefits TAPMI financial students. In 2014, Bloomberg created the State-of-the-Art Finance Lab with 16 terminals with BSE and NSE data streams, along with 7 Thomson Reuters terminals. Students learn forecasting, risk management, investments, and global financial management. This lab bridges financial theory and practice by giving students real-world market experience.
Bloomberg is used in all first-year Finance courses and 60% of electives. The course material is top-notch, and the faculty—including the Director, a finance and marketing expert—are among the best in the nation. Most faculty members have Phds from top universities like IIMs and IITs. Finance students are envied on campus because they get the greatest final placements. Excellent profiles.
IIMs have a brand name and are doing at par or even better than TAPMI, despite being new. So, you can go for either IIM Vizag or IIM Nagpur.

However, if you have to choose between IIM Nagpur and IIM Vizag, choose according to your preference of location. Both have almost the same median salary of approx 16.5 lakhs for final placements. IIM Nagpur has a permanent campus while IIM Vizag has a better pool of companies for placements.
Choose NMIMS MBA in business analytics if you work in analytics or want to. However, if you're not interested in analytics, you should choose the TAPMI PGDM core program because many people convert to analytics without knowing anything about it, which is a bad sign.
If you're interested in analytics, select NMIMS to develop professionally. If you're unsure about analytics, the TAPMI PGDM core programme will give you several options in different industries.
Big Companies and good brands hiring from top B-Schools and colleges like TAPMI/IMI know the students they are hiring have already been through some rigorous checks, so their job is half done, and they don’t want to just hire and train them. While the small companies and brands can’t get into top B-schools, baby IIMs welcome them and they can easily train them.
As the baby IIMs will grow old they will start getting big brands as well, so don’t discard them easily. IIM tag is after all the same for all and it matters.
Best of Luck !
You should give Loyola or TAPMI the highest priority among these options. In the event that the Mumbai campus is chosen, Welingkar will be your second priority. In the event that Hyderabad is the winner, IBS will finish in third place. In any other case, it will be quite expensive to keep it.

Both TAPMI and BIM Trichy are very popular institutes and both of them are very good options to pursue PGDM. According to the reviews on the internet, both these colleges have their advantages.
Categories | PGDM at TAPMI | PGDM at BIM Trichy |
Course Fee | 15.1 lakh | 92.14 K |
Highest CTC | 18-20 LPA | 22-25 LPA |
Average CTC | 11-12 LPA | 9-10 LPA |

Hence, both these colleges are very options to pursue PGDM but for the finance sector, BIM Trichy can be a better option as its faculty members are very talented and have a better alumni network.
If you wish to pursue a career in finance, I would suggest that you go with TAPMI, as they are known for performing well in the finance domain. Top companies like JP Morgan, Goldman Sachs, CRISIL, TATA AIG, HDFC, ICICI, Paytm, etc. visit the campus. They also have a dedicated Bloomberg Terminal, which assists the students in gaining the necessary financial skills and knowledge.
These are the things that you should never do.
Do not let this alarm you. These norms are also present in other institutions.
The average package for Jagsom for the year 2023 is INR 17.2L and the fees are around INR 15L.
The average for TAPMI is 15.7L and its fee is around 16.50L.
While this may imply that JAGSOM is better in terms of ROI, you should look into other factors as well as go through the placement of the institutes yourself to get a good idea about the institute.
