TAPMI Manipal College Overview
In one line: TAPMI is a private institute in Manipal, part of Manipal Academy of Higher Education, and it runs seven separate MBA degrees. Decide which one you are applying to before you compare anything else, because the accepted exams, the degree background required and the published placement figures are not the same across them.
| Institute name | T.A. Pai Management Institute (TAPMI) |
|---|---|
| Also known as | TAPMI Manipal; T.A. Pai Management Institute |
| Institute type | Private management institute; constituent unit of Manipal Academy of Higher Education; not a government college |
| Established | 1980 |
| Location | Manipal, Karnataka |
| Degree offered | Seven two-year MBA programmes listed on TAPMI’s official admissions page for the latest 2026–28 reference |
| Exams accepted | CAT, XAT or GMAT for MBA Core; CAT, XAT, GMAT or NMAT by GMAC for the sectoral programmes and MBA-Tech; MBA-AI & DS additionally requires a relevant BE/B.Tech. Official source: TAPMI Admissions (tapmi.edu.in/admissions), captured 28 August 2026. |
| Institute code | No central-counselling institute code is published for these institute-level MBA applications; apply through TAPMI’s own portal |
| Accreditations / recognition | AACSB, AMBA and NBA accredited, as stated on TAPMI’s own site (captured 28 August 2026). TAPMI describes itself as “Part of Manipal Academy of Higher Education (MAHE), an institution of eminence recognized by the Government of India”, so this is a MAHE-linked MBA rather than a standalone-institute PGDM — a common point of confusion with “Manipal University” searches, which refer to MAHE, TAPMI’s parent. |

TAPMI Manipal MBA Fee Structure
In one line: Tuition is ₹9,75,000 a year, ₹19,50,000 across two years, and it is the same for all seven MBA programmes. That is not what you will pay: add the ₹20,000 alumni fee and the refundable ₹40,000 caution deposit, add ₹70,000 more if you choose MBA-BKFS, and keep a line open for hostel and mess, which TAPMI has not published.
| Fee head | Amount | Includes | Excludes / reading note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tuition | ₹9,75,000 per year ₹19,50,000 across two years | Academic tuition for each of the seven listed MBA programmes | Hostel, mess, alumni fee, caution deposit and BKFS training are not included in this ₹19.50 lakh figure |
| Alumni lifetime membership | ₹20,000 | One-time alumni membership | Over and above tuition |
| Caution deposit | ₹40,000 | Refundable deposit | Do not count it as a permanent fee if refund conditions are met |
| MBA-BKFS training | ₹70,000 | Programme-specific training charge | Applies to MBA-BKFS; do not add it to other programmes |
| Hostel and mess | Updating soon | Not listed | The official page does not publish an amount; no estimate is inserted here |
Anti-inference: Nothing in this table should be multiplied beyond the period stated, and the 2026–28 tuition is not a projection of a future 2027–29 revision.

TAPMI Hostel and Mess
In one line: You will be living on campus, and TAPMI has not published what that costs — its current admissions page still says hostel and mess charges will be updated soon.
This is where every “total cost of TAPMI” figure you read elsewhere stops being reliable, including any built on ₹19.50 lakh — that number is tuition only. Until TAPMI publishes the residential charge for your batch, keep hostel and mess as a separate unfunded line in your budget, and ask the institute for the current amount before you accept an offer. Do not fill the gap with an aggregator’s estimate.
What is confirmed: the Manipal MBA experience is residential. What is not listed: the current rupee amount, room-wise charge, mess charge and the exact inclusion list for the next 2027–29 batch.

TAPMI Placements 2025: Programme-wise Average and Highest Package
In one line: MBA-BKFS recorded the highest indicative average among the five reported programmes at ₹14.73 lakh, while MBA General reported ₹13.99 lakh; the report does not publish MBA-Tech or MBA-AI & DS outcomes.
Compare programme by programme, never TAPMI-wide: the reported averages run from ₹11.74 lakh for MBA-IB to ₹14.73 lakh for MBA-BKFS. Every average carrying an asterisk is TAPMI’s own word, indicative, because some recruiters had not disclosed CTC. TAPMI publishes no median for any programme — only these averages — so if you are comparing TAPMI against a school that reports a median, you are not comparing the same measure, and an average is the easier of the two for a handful of large offers to pull upward. And the 100% figures count the students who wanted placement after opt-outs—not everyone who enrolled.
| Programme | Total / opted out / interested | Placed | Average CTC* | Highest CTC | Companies |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| MBA General | 350 / 10 / 340 | 340 (100% of interested) | ₹13.99L | ₹32.77L | 89 |
| MBA-BKFS | 59 / 1 / 58 | 58 (100%) | ₹14.73L | ₹26.25L | 30 |
| MBA-Marketing | 51 / 5 / 46 | 46 (100%) | ₹13.72L | ₹19.59L | 34 |
| MBA-HRM | 44 / 6 / 38 | 38 (100%) | ₹12.86L | ₹19.59L | 22 |
| MBA-IB | 25 / 2 / 23 | 23 (100%) | ₹11.74L | ₹16.00L | 17 |
| MBA-Tech | Not listed | Not listed | Not listed | Not listed | Not listed |
| MBA-AI & DS | Not listed | Not listed | Not listed | Not listed | Not listed |
Official source: TAPMI, Final Placement Report 2025, batch 2023–25. *Indicative CTC because some recruiters were yet to disclose offers.
MBA General placement distribution
| Sector | Share | Indicative average CTC |
|---|---|---|
| BFSI | 39% | ₹14.24L |
| Consulting | 22% | ₹13.11L |
| IT & Analytics | 18% | ₹14.83L |
| FMCG & Retail | 4% | ₹16.73L |
| Others | 17% | ₹13.04L |
MBA General also reported 58 PPOs, a ₹14.70 lakh PPO average and a ₹23.50 lakh PPO highest. These are cohort outcomes, not an individual salary promise.
The band averages — and the direction they are moving
A single “average” hides the shape of a batch. TAPMI’s own prospectus publishes top-N band averages for the two most recent completed years, and they are falling:
| Band | 2023-24 | 2024-25 | Reading note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Top 50 | ₹20.64L | ₹19.16L | Down ₹1.48L year on year — the sharpest fall of the four bands |
| Top 100 | ₹18.45L | ₹17.65L | Down ₹0.80L |
| Top 150 | ₹17.25L | ₹16.72L | Down ₹0.53L |
| Top 200 | ₹16.37L | ₹16.02L | Down ₹0.35L — the broad middle held up better than the top |
| Highest CTC | ₹32.02L | ₹32.77L | The one figure that rose — and the one that describes a single student |
How to read this: the headline average and the highest package both look stable, but every band average fell between 2023-24 and 2024-25, and the fall is steepest at the top. If you are planning against a number, plan against the band you realistically expect to land in — not the highest package, which moved in the opposite direction to everything else. A page quoting only the highest figure would hide this trend entirely.

TAPMI Cutoff 2027: CAT, XAT, GMAT and NMAT Rules
In one line: there is no single TAPMI cutoff. For the flagship MBA the bar moves with your work experience — above 90 percentile under 11 months, above 80 percentile at 12–23 months, profile-based beyond that — and MBA-Tech is judged on its own rule.
| Programme / profile | Accepted test route | Published threshold | How to read it |
|---|---|---|---|
| MBA — less than 11 months’ work experience | CAT / XAT / GMAT | Above 90 percentile | A threshold, not a guaranteed shortlist |
| MBA — 12 to 23 months | CAT / XAT / GMAT | Above 80 percentile | Use completed experience as defined in the application |
| MBA — 24 months or more | CAT / XAT / GMAT | Profile-based | No numeric floor is stated in the published rule |
| MBA-Tech — under 12 months | CAT / XAT / NMAT / GMAT | Above 85 percentile | NMAT is accepted here and on the sectoral programmes; MBA Core is the one route whose published row lists only CAT, XAT and GMAT |
| MBA-Tech — 12 months or more | CAT / XAT / NMAT / GMAT | Profile-based | At least two years of work experience is preferred |
| Sectoral programmes — BKFS, HRM, IB, Marketing | CAT / XAT / GMAT / NMAT by GMAC | No separate numeric floor is published per programme | NMAT is open here too — TAPMI’s accepted-exam line reads “NMAT by GMAC (Only for sectoral programs)”, so it is the MBA Core route that excludes NMAT, not the sectoral ones |
| MBA-AI & Data Science | Entrance score plus a relevant BE/B.Tech | No numeric floor published | The degree background is the real gate on this programme, not the percentile |
Worked example: 88 percentile with 10 months of experience misses the flagship MBA’s published “above 90” bar. The same 88 percentile with 18 months clears the “above 80” bar instead—your score did not change, your experience band did. And clearing the bar only puts you in the shortlisting pool: the entrance-test score is 35% of the final decision.

Regular Indian route vs NRI / foreign route
MAT, CMAT and ATMA appear in the NRI route alongside CAT, XAT, GMAT and NMAT. PIO/foreign-national applicants have a separate GMAT requirement and may need IELTS 5.0. These tests must not be copied into the regular Indian eligibility row.
Official source: TAPMI Admissions — NRI, PIO and foreign-national eligibility.
TAPMI Seats and Batch Size
In one line: TAPMI does not publish how many seats each MBA programme has, so any “TAPMI has X seats” number you find elsewhere is an older figure being reused. What follows is only what is actually published, with the year attached to each one.
| Reference | Figure | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Final Placement Report 2025 | 529 across MBA, BKFS, Marketing, HRM and IB — our sum of the five programme rows below, not a total TAPMI itself prints | Graduating cohort covered by the report; 24 opted out and 505 were interested and placed |
| NIRF submission — sanctioned PG two-year intake 2023–24 | 570 | Older institution-level approved intake reference |
| NIRF submission — sanctioned PG two-year intake 2022–23 | 630 | Older institution-level approved intake reference |
| NIRF submission — total PG two-year students across years | 1,138 | Student strength, not one entering batch |
| Current 2026–28 programme-wise approved intake | Not listed | Do not convert the older figures into a current programme seat matrix |
Official sources: TAPMI Final Placement Report 2025 and TAPMI’s NIRF 2025 institute submission. The year label is part of the fact.
TAPMI MBA Eligibility Criteria
In one line: You need a bachelor’s degree with at least 60% to be eligible for any TAPMI MBA — that is the floor, not the qualification. The programme you choose then adds its own test, degree-background and work-experience rules on top.
| Programme | Academic requirement | Test / experience note |
|---|---|---|
| MBA General | Bachelor’s degree with minimum 60%; final-year candidates may apply subject to meeting 60% | CAT, XAT or GMAT; experience-banded shortlisting |
| MBA-BKFS, MBA-HRM, MBA-IB, MBA-Marketing | General 60% bachelor’s requirement | CAT, XAT, GMAT or NMAT by GMAC — TAPMI’s accepted-exam line admits NMAT for the sectoral programmes. An NMAT score is a valid route into these four. |
| MBA-Technology Management | General bachelor’s requirement | CAT, XAT, NMAT or GMAT; two years’ work experience preferred |
| MBA-AI & DS | Relevant BE/B.Tech background in computer science, AI, machine learning, data science or related technology areas | Freshers may apply; programme-specific background is mandatory |
| NRI applicants | Meet the applicable degree requirement | Separate test list and fee route |

Documents and Information to Keep Ready
In one line: TAPMI does not publish one static public upload checklist for every route, so the live application portal is the final authority.
- Class 10, Class 12 and bachelor’s academic details and available marksheets
- CAT, XAT, GMAT or NMAT details only where the selected programme accepts that test
- Work-experience dates and supporting proof where experience affects shortlisting
- Government identity, photograph and contact details requested by the portal
- Degree-background proof for MBA-AI & DS
- NRI, PIO or foreign-national supporting records where that route is selected
These are preparation categories derived from the published eligibility and application process, not a substitute for the portal’s final upload screen. Do not upload an item merely because an aggregator calls it compulsory.

TAPMI MBA Admission 2027 Dates and Selection Process
In one line: The next 2027 schedule is not published; the last official cycle opened on 15 October 2025 and closed on 27 January 2026.
| Milestone | Published date | Status / reading note |
|---|---|---|
| Application commencement | 15 October 2025 | Past reference |
| Application closing date | 27 January 2026 | Past reference — and note the source disagreement: TAPMI’s live admissions page shows 27 January 2026, while its own 2026-28 prospectus prints 29 December 2025 as the last date for online applications. Two official documents genuinely disagree; treat the live portal as controlling and do not plan against the later date alone. |
| First selection list | 10 April 2026, tentative | Past tentative reference |
| Term commencement | June / July 2026, tentative | Past tentative reference |
| Next 2027 application dates | Updating soon | Not published on the live admissions page as of 28 August 2026 |

Selection weightage
| Component | Weight | Reading note |

| Academic performance | 15% | Profile evidence, not only the entrance test |
| Group Discussion, Written Ability Test and Personal Interview | 45% | The largest single component. TAPMI’s Stage II is GD + WAT + PI — the written ability test is part of it, so prepare writing as well as speaking |
| Gender diversity and extracurricular activities | 5% | Published combined weight |
Process: choose the correct programme, submit the institute application, meet the applicable test/profile rule, attend the published selection stages if shortlisted, and follow the offer/payment instructions. No score-only admission promise is published.

TAPMI MBA Programmes: Full List Without Mixing Routes
In one line: All seven MBA programmes carry the same tuition, so this is not a money decision — it turns on campus, who is eligible, which exams count, the extra ₹70,000 on MBA-BKFS, and whether the 2025 placement report covers your programme at all.
| Programme | Campus / focus | Important distinction | 2025 placement report |
|---|---|---|---|
| MBA | Manipal · general management | CAT/XAT/GMAT; work-experience-banded shortlist rule | Reported |
| MBA-BKFS | Manipal · banking and financial services | Additional ₹70,000 training fee for Indian applicants | Reported |
| MBA-HRM | Manipal · human resources | Separate specialist programme | Reported |
| MBA-IB | Manipal · international business | Separate specialist programme | Reported |
| MBA-Marketing | Manipal · marketing | Separate specialist programme | Reported |
| MBA-Technology Management | TAPMI Bengaluru · technology management | CAT/XAT/NMAT/GMAT; work experience preferred | Not listed |
| MBA-Artificial Intelligence & Data Science | Technology-focused programme | Relevant engineering/technology degree background; freshers eligible | Not listed |

Scholarships
- Excellence in Academics and Practice: up to 100% tuition fee waiver.
- Achievers Scholarship: 20% tuition waiver for 5% of approved intake.
- Future Innovators Scholarship: 10% tuition waiver for MBA-Tech and MBA-AI & DS.
Read “up to 100%” as a ceiling, not an expectation: budget for the full ₹19.50 lakh and treat a waiver as an upside. Who gets one, and who keeps it, is decided by TAPMI’s current scholarship policy.
Official source: TAPMI MBA Scholarship policy for batch 2026–28 and the official admissions page.
TAPMI ROI: How to Read Tuition Against Placement CTC
In one line: ₹19.50 lakh tuition is about 1.39 times the MBA General indicative average CTC of ₹13.99 lakh, but this is not a payback-period calculation.
That ratio flatters the college on both sides. The cost side leaves out hostel and mess, which are unpublished, plus loan interest and the salary you give up for two years. The salary side is CTC, not money in your account, and it belongs to the batch that graduated in 2025—not to you as a 2027 entrant. Specialist-programme averages also differ, from ₹11.74 lakh for MBA-IB to ₹14.73 lakh for MBA-BKFS in the reported cohort.
Counselling view: compare programme fit, role mix, total residential cost and debt burden before comparing headline CTC. A higher package does not automatically make one specialisation right for your profile.
Official sources: TAPMI latest fee table and Final Placement Report 2025.
TAPMI MBA Programme Comparison
In one line: The common ₹19.50 lakh tuition makes programme choice primarily a fit decision, but BKFS has an extra training charge and the official placement outcomes vary.
| Programme | Indicative average CTC* | Highest CTC | Best used for | Key caution |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| MBA General | ₹13.99L | ₹32.77L | Broad management roles and electives | Largest cohort; compare sector mix, not only highest CTC |
| MBA-BKFS | ₹14.73L | ₹26.25L | Banking and financial-services focus | ₹70,000 additional training fee |
| MBA-Marketing | ₹13.72L | ₹19.59L | Marketing-focused curriculum | Smaller cohort than MBA General |
| MBA-HRM | ₹12.86L | ₹19.59L | Human-resources roles | Use HR role fit, not general-MBA assumptions |
| MBA-IB | ₹11.74L | ₹16.00L | International-business focus | Small reported cohort |
| MBA-Tech | Not listed | Not listed | Technology-management route at Bengaluru | No 2025 figure in the report |
| MBA-AI & DS | Not listed | Not listed | AI/data-science management route | Relevant technical degree required; no 2025 placement figure listed |

Frequently Asked Questions
Are TAPMI MBA Admission 2027 applications open?
Not yet. TAPMI's live admissions page still publishes the 2026 cycle: applications opened on 15 October 2025 and closed on 27 January 2026. It does not publish the next 2027 application dates as of 28 August 2026, so this page is a 2027 planning guide using the latest official 2026–28 references.
What is the TAPMI Manipal MBA fee?
The latest official Indian tuition is ₹9,75,000 per year for each of the seven listed MBA programmes, or ₹19,50,000 across two years before other charges. TAPMI also lists a ₹20,000 alumni fee and a refundable ₹40,000 caution deposit; MBA-BKFS has an additional ₹70,000 training fee.
Is hostel and mess included in the TAPMI fee?
No, and TAPMI has not published what it will cost either: the current official admissions page says hostel and mess charges will be updated soon. So ₹19,50,000 is tuition, not a complete residential cost. Budget hostel and mess as a separate unknown rather than borrowing an unofficial estimate.
What CAT or XAT percentile is needed for TAPMI MBA?
It depends on your work experience as much as your score. For the flagship MBA, TAPMI's latest published rule is above 90 percentile if you have less than 11 months of work experience, above 80 percentile for 12–23 months, and profile-based shortlisting at 24 months or more. Clearing the number gets you considered, not called.
Does TAPMI accept NMAT?
Yes, for the sectoral programmes and MBA-Tech — but not for MBA Core. TAPMI’s accepted-exam line reads “CAT, XAT, GMAT, NMAT by GMAC (Only for sectoral programs)”, and its MBA Core row lists only CAT, XAT and GMAT. So an NMAT score is a valid route into MBA-BKFS, MBA-HRM, MBA-IB, MBA-Marketing and MBA-Technology Management; for the flagship MBA Core you need CAT, XAT or GMAT. Confirm the row for your programme on the live application before paying.
Does TAPMI accept MAT or CMAT?
MAT, CMAT and ATMA appear on TAPMI's NRI admission route, not as universal Indian-applicant tests for all seven MBA programmes. Mixing the NRI test list with the regular Indian route is a common error.
What is the TAPMI MBA average package?
The official 2025 placement report lists an indicative average CTC of ₹13.99 lakh for MBA General, ₹14.73 lakh for MBA-BKFS, ₹13.72 lakh for MBA-Marketing, ₹12.86 lakh for MBA-HRM and ₹11.74 lakh for MBA-IB. The asterisk matters: TAPMI says some recruiters had not yet disclosed CTC.
Did TAPMI place every interested student in 2025?
Yes, for the students interested in placements in each of the five programmes covered by the report. For example, MBA General had 350 students, 10 opted out, and all 340 placement-seeking students were placed. This is not the same as saying every enrolled student entered placements.
Extended FAQs — TAPMI Manipal 2027
In one line: the questions people actually ask us after they have read the basics — answered from the same official documents.
What was the highest TAPMI package in 2025?
The official 2025 report lists ₹32.77 lakh as the highest CTC for MBA General, ₹26.25 lakh for MBA-BKFS, ₹19.59 lakh for MBA-Marketing and MBA-HRM, and ₹16 lakh for MBA-IB. A highest offer is one outcome, not the expected salary.
How many MBA programmes does TAPMI offer?
TAPMI's current admissions page lists seven: MBA, MBA-BKFS, MBA-HRM, MBA-IB, MBA-Marketing, MBA-Technology Management and MBA-Artificial Intelligence & Data Science. Their eligibility and accepted-test routes are not identical.
What is the TAPMI batch size?
TAPMI has not published a current 2026–28 programme-wise approved seat matrix on the admissions page. The 2025 placement report covers 529 graduating students across five programmes, while TAPMI's NIRF 2025 submission reports older sanctioned PG two-year intake figures of 570 for 2023–24 and 630 for 2022–23. Neither should be relabelled as the 2027 intake.
What is the minimum eligibility for TAPMI MBA?
The general published requirement is a bachelor's degree with at least 60% marks. Final-year students may apply, subject to meeting the 60% requirement. MBA-AI & DS additionally requires a relevant engineering or technology background.
How much is the TAPMI application fee?
The latest official table lists ₹2,000 for one programme, ₹2,250 for two, ₹2,500 for three, ₹3,000 for four, ₹3,750 for five, ₹4,750 for six and ₹5,750 for all seven programmes. Application fees are non-refundable and may change for the next cycle.
What are TAPMI's selection weights?
The latest published selection framework assigns 35% to the entrance-test score, 15% to academics, 45% to group discussion and personal interview, and 5% to gender diversity and extracurricular activities. Meeting a test threshold alone does not guarantee selection.
Does TAPMI have management quota or direct admission?
No. TAPMI publishes no management-quota, donation or assured-seat route; admission runs through the institute's own application, test, shortlisting and selection process. If someone offers you a guaranteed TAPMI seat, they are promising something that does not exist in that process.
What scholarships does TAPMI offer?
For the 2026–28 reference, TAPMI lists an Excellence in Academics and Practice scholarship of up to 100% tuition waiver, an Achievers scholarship of 20% for 5% of approved intake, and a 10% Future Innovators scholarship for MBA-Tech and MBA-AI & DS. Scholarship decisions follow the institute's rules and are not automatic.
Is TAPMI an MBA or PGDM institute?
The current official admissions material lists MBA degrees, not PGDM, across seven programmes. Older pages and search results may still use PGDM language, but applicants should use the current official credential names.
Is TAPMI a government college?
No. TAPMI is a private management institute and a constituent unit of Manipal Academy of Higher Education. It is not a government college.
What is TAPMI's NIRF Management rank?
TAPMI is ranked 39th with a score of 57.13 in the NIRF India Rankings 2025 Management category.
Which TAPMI programme had the highest 2025 average CTC?
Among the five programmes reported separately, MBA-BKFS had the highest indicative average CTC at ₹14.73 lakh, followed by MBA General at ₹13.99 lakh. MBA-Tech and MBA-AI & DS are not listed in the 2025 final placement report, so no figure should be invented for them.
Is TAPMI Tier 1 or Tier 2?
There is no official tier system in Indian management education — no regulator, ranking body or ministry publishes one, so “Tier 1” and “Tier 2” are opinions written by whoever is ranking, not designations TAPMI holds or lacks. What is official: TAPMI is ranked 39th in NIRF Management 2025 with a score of 57.13 out of 100, it is AACSB, AMBA and NBA accredited, and it is part of Manipal Academy of Higher Education. Judge it on those, and on the figures in this page’s fee and placement tables against the same year’s figures from any school you are comparing it with. A tier label you read elsewhere is not evidence either way.
