Good College and Infrastructure.
Placements: The number of students placed is 60% of students, and the highest package is 7 LPA, while the lowest is 2 LPA. Top recruitment is from sales companies. The percentage of people getting internships is very low, and roles offered depend on the company that comes.
Infrastructure: The faculty is very good and nice, and they are very well-educated and knowledgeable. They explain in a very good manner. The infrastructure is also average, well-designed, and good for the students. However, a hostel isn't present for this, and meals are good in the canteen.
Faculty: The teachers are helpful for the first two years; later, students are needed to study on their own. They are knowledgeable. This course is good and relevant and good to students. The difficulty depends on how students study and read.

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.
