Is it wise to leave a group C job of tax assistant at Mumbai Customs for pursuing an MBA where the only calls are from TAPMI, KJ, Great Lakes & XIMB HRM?
It all depends on your goals and aspirations but these colleges will give you a good value for money. If you want to switch and pursue a career in management then it is a good choice to leave the job and enroll in any of these colleges or if you like government jobs and want stability in your career then continue with your current job. Even if you take a loan you don’t have to start paying it back right away, you will get at least a year of moratorium and the student or education loan has one of the least interest rates, worry not.

Is it possible for a PGDM general student at TAPMI to opt for financial stream electives?
Yes, students can opt for finance stream electives in their second year of the PGDM program. Students in the first year of the PGDM program are exposed to a variety of MBA streams, and in the second year, they choose a major stream from marketing, finance, strategy, IT & analytics. They can then choose any other subjects from among the available courses or subjects to take in addition to the major.

Both the courses are the same. The simple distinction is that you could concentrate on a certain subject in BBA(H). while the BBA course offers you an outline of all the topics taught in the honor course.
The course period of BBA(H) is four years. While for general BBA it is of three years. In BBA(H) in-depth understanding of the subject is given while General BBA offers an overview of the subject.

How good is the PGDM in IT/systems at TAPMI? Are there good placements in that sector?
TAPMI is a top B-school. It's also reputable. IT/Systems placements are uncertain. I'll add that IT/Systems are fading. Focus on AI-ML, Data Science, and Business Analytics to succeed in IT. Dual specialization like AI+ML, Marketing+Business Analytics, etc. is even better.
Ashoka School of Business (ASB Hyderabad) is a top B-school offering this combination. IISWBM Kolkata, FMS Delhi, ITM Mumbai, etc. are similar colleges. ASB Hyderabad has great ROI and placements.
Can a fresher with no work experience apply to TAPMI for its MBA course?
When it comes to MBA admissions, work experience can be an advantage, but it's not always a requirement. Having work experience can demonstrate to admissions committees that you have practical skills and knowledge that can be valuable in an MBA program. However, it's important to note that work experience is just one factor that is considered in the admissions process, and it's not a guarantee of admission.
Similarly, having work experience may give you an edge in the placement process, but it's not a guarantee of a job offer. While companies may value work experience, they also look for a range of other qualities and skills in potential employees. Therefore, just because someone has work experience, it doesn't necessarily mean that they'll be guaranteed admission or a job offer.
Ultimately, admissions committees and recruiters are looking for well-rounded candidates who possess a variety of skills, experiences, and qualities. While work experience can be valuable, it's not the only factor that is considered. When applying to MBA programs or job opportunities, it's important to present yourself as a strong and unique candidate, highlighting all of the experiences and skills that make you a strong fit for the program or position.
