Given to choose, TAPMI is the college I would like to go based on ROI, faculties, Pedagogy, curriculum and placements. TAPMI’s NIRF 2022 rank is also 38th in the country which is above some 3rd gen IIMs. It is also accredited by AACSB (Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business) and AMBA.
It is also equipped with state of the art labs like Finance Lab, Analytics lab, Operations Lab and Creativity lab.

Which one would be a better option: a job under SSC or MBA from SIBM Bangalore?
Staff Selection Commission (SSC) will land you in a government job. There are different departments in SSC where you can get placed. Whereas, MBA from SIBM Bangalore will weave you to be corporate ready and land you in a private white-collar job.
Choice
- If you want to be at a work-life equilibrium and a fixed-paying job, cracking the SSC exam makes sense. SSC provides you with job security.
- If you want to earn a lucrative package and are ready to have a hectic life with variable work hours, MBA is the best choice. SIBM Bangalore is the second well-known and high-rated campus of Symbiosis International University after SIBM Pune.
- SSC will cost you less, but competition is high due to the “Government job” tag.

The application fee is less than INR 1000. Reserved candidates get exemption in this fee. The coaching fee will cost under INR 1 Lakh. |
If you have already cleared SSC Tier-1 and Tier-2 exams, leaving SSC will not be a wise choice. SSC is a preferable choice over MBA from SIBM Bangalore. The reason is, MBA from SIBM Bangalore does not have much credibility in the industry.
