The SEVA Problem statement was Horticulture value optimization of Mattu Gulla, a type of brinjal with a unique taste and a GI tag. Among the problems plaguing production is limited shelf life, damage during transit and seasonality of crop despite its round the year demand. We utilized the design thinking process taught to us to reach effective solutions. After multiple visits to the stakeholders we collaborated with WGSHA, Manipal to create prototypes of Gulla products which was utilized in surveys to get feedback from consumers. We were able to create Mattu Gulla products which can be commercialized creating revenue throughout the year and thus, adding value for the farming community.

The problem statement of our project was to investigate the causes for non-performance of value-added products of DKMU with respect to their marketing mix, and recommend sustainable solutions to improve sales. We visited DKMU’s Mangalore & Udupi Plant, multiple retailers around Udupi, asking user feedback on products at prominent places to gain insights. We recommended creating individual brand identity for products using aggressive advertising, placing product posters along with the prices at the retail shops, and re-designing the existing packaging to improve their sales.

Udupi is a beautiful place with many pilgrims and tourist locations. The objective of the project, Responsible Tourism, was to increase the footfall of tourists in and around Udupi district. The plan was to improve accessibility of information on tourism in and around Udupi.
The students had to think from the perspective of all stakeholders. Design thinking approach was used to come up with a plan for tourism and created travelling circuits based up on different segments. An eBook called “Unravel Udupi” and a website containing all the details were presented to stakeholders.
The students understood the cultural importance of places that were just picturesque for a tourist. The tourists would benefit with this easy access to information and the locals as stakeholders would benefit by the increase in revenue.

I think this needs to be said, there's a so called "official" group on facebook for converts which is all fine and all. But what about people who don't use facebook? Now, there's an informal zoom meet on Sunday for converts which including me and a lot of others don't know about BECAUSE WE ARE NOT ON FACEBOOK. All our queries and questions are neglected and we are asked to post the same question on facebook page by ADCOM team members. Now, I know it is not possible for you guys to go and dm each and everyone about any new update and hence other institutes use multiple social media platforms and an system generated centralised email of updates. But if we are asking you a question, you guys need to be civil about it and please affirm our query because as a candidate it already takes a lot to break into a system and ask questions.
Without name dropping anyone, I would like to request you to show some liberty considering our questions are sincere about joining TAPMI and loosing out on key information won't help portray a healthy environment, you too were an aspirant once and imagine what we go through.
Sorry if it offended anyone. I didn't knew what else to do about it. Not looking to stir up drama just frustrated with my queries being ignored.
EDIT: Yes, you can take screenshots and forward it in your respective telegram and ..... group, more you spread how this is affecting us, better it would be for us.
What is the minimum grad cutoff for TAPMI? The site states that all applications below 50% in graduation will be automatically cancelled whereas the table provided below cites 60%. Which is it? Can I still apply if I have a grad score above 50 but below 60?

CAT is just around the corner and we have some last minutes tips to share will all of you to help you sail through smoothly. Check out the key pointers you should focus on:
1. Analyse your mocks – Go through the mock tests that you have given so far, especially the ones that didn’t go too well. Try to analyse what went wrong. Make a note of those particularly tricky questions and try to solve them.
2. Stick to your strengths – Know what you are good at and make sure that you know those concepts inside out. Do not start a new topic now!
3. Keep track of time – Time flies when you are taking the test. Make sure you keep checking the time left regularly. IF you are not confident about the question within the first 15-20 seconds, skip! Don’t waste time trying to figure out how to solve a problem at first. Solve questions you’re confident of solving.
4. Do NOT ignore reading – Getting into the flow of reading long passages will go a long way to ensure that you’re able to stay focussed throughout those lengthy Rcs.
5. Revise! Revise! Revise! – Make sure you go through those formulae that you wrote down once upon a time during the preparation to revise later. A quick revision can help you recollect the concepts much quicker and make you more confident for the D-Day!
6. Be well-rested – Ensure that you’re getting adequate sleep to help you stay focussed throughout the day. A tired mind tends to be inefficient which would make you lose more time than you “saved” by not sleeping.
What would be the minimum cut off required by a student with more than 20 months of work experience? As it is mentioned on the site that a person with more than 20 months of work exp. is selected for profile based shortlisting. Also, what documents would be required to show prior work experience, if you have more than one companies work exp.? I have my previous employers work experience certificate.
Remember that CAT was just the first step. The GDPI process plays an important role in your admission process as well. We hope you’ve started your preparations for the same.
Don’t be disheartened if CAT didn’t quite go as expected though. Know that this journey isn’t a sprint, it’s a marathon. XAT is around the corner. Now that you’ve just given an exam, and you know what works for you and what doesn’t, make the best use of this one month that you have to plan your strategy.
What an incredible journey it has been!
