similar feelings here....i have added tapmi to THEY DONT DESERVE me list....but i hope the list doesnt keep growing.....last chances..IIT-M and faint hope from NMIMS....
and hey nithin do postt as soon as u know ur results....atb..
don`t worry mysoreguy,
the list won`t,shan`t and can`t grow.(for both of us,oops i forget my nirma was very bad,but then i had already counted it in the they dont desrve me list,so no worries,the list wont,cant shant grow)
when`s ur nmims, hope we tapmi rejects are able to make it to nmims(in my case mica)
but seeing all this bantering about tapmi,
well in my case grapes arnn`t soar,TAPMI is a very good instituion and i wud have loved to be a part of it,gr8 for the ppl who made it,but anyways like they say shit happens,life`s like that.
for all the ppl. like me(who have been rejected) we will make it,let`s analyze what better we can do.....shouldn`t we???
Hi
Me too W'd by Tapmi. CAT - 95.48 Acads - 81, 81 & 85. GD, Extempore, D's Interview - decent; PI - Screwed; Keeping my fingers crossed. No idea about the possibility of final selection, as this is the first time Tapmi is coming with a waitlist. To all W's - lets pray and hope for the best, if we want to be in!!!
hiiie eeevryone!!!!
CONGRATSSSSS TO ALL THOSE WHO MADE IT!! 😃 😃
me WAITLISTED!! :huh:
and the worst part is they havent given any number!!!!! :whatthat:
how on earth am i supposed to know what r my chances like???
anyidea how many ppl r thr in the wailisted category???? :!:
and what is the intake like this year???120 or 140???
gotta wait till the last week of march.... :sarcasm:
hope patience pays!!!!! 😞
anyone else whoz hanging in the middle like me?????/ :huh:
3more weeks togo........hope for the best!!!!!
cheeers
sushma.
hi,
me too rejected:huh: ...was really banking on this one(96.4%ile+1 yr work-ex+good gd/pi)...quit my job 4 cat
...anyways 4 more left(IMT,NMIMS,IIT-KGP,IIT-M)...maybe god has kept something better for me...congrats to those who made it.
for all the guys who've been rejected lets try to find out why...assuming there are 120 seats...as per supreme court orders 22.5% of the seats are to be reserved for SC/ST students...so that leaves about 90 seats...now another observation i made was the no. of girls in every panel...i had just one in my panel and i thought that was the case in most panels....so even assuming 20-25 girls per day(even that's a high no. actually)...the total no. of girls comes up to about 300...so there were 1000 guys to make the total 1300...now i'm sure out of these 300 girls...TAPMI would definitely want about 30 in their batch ('coz they would not want an all boys class!)...so that means about 60 seats left for about 1000 boys!...tough ratio to crack!...now add to that people who have work experience....(tapmi seems to have a liking for people with work ex--check out the profile and average age of people selected....u'll understand)...so freshers like me have very little chance of getting through....no matter how good the gd/pi/ext/essay/di...the ratio itself makes it virtually impossible to get selected!!...
however there is something i would want to say here...sometimes the best way to judge an institute is not by looking at the people they select but by looking at the kind of people they reject...i've seen a couple of posts here that tell me a thing or two about tapmi...i think it is ridiculous to reject someone 'coz of bad academics...i mean if they want people with good acads they could just go to graduation colleges and pick the toppers for their MBA course...why this long selection process...to be honest...i think that tapmi's selection process is good...the most elaborate one i've seen...however i think they seem to have given too much weightage to acads which i think is wrong!...what makes them think that a person with average acads can't be a good manager??...
also i think tapmi and all other mba institues need to be a lot more transparent about their selection process...i pay 1000 bucks for a form...plus go there for gd/int....and here i am not knowing why i have been rejected!...maybe i deserve to be rejected....but i think i also deserve to know the reason...i mean...if they can ask us why mba and why tapmi in the interview...shouldn't we ask them....WHY NOT US??...think about it!!...anyone from tapmi listening??
May B Saysi think tapmi and all other mba institues need to be a lot more transparent about their selection process...i pay 1000 bucks for a form...plus go there for gd/int....and here i am not knowing why i have been rejected!...maybe i deserve to be rejected....but i think i also deserve to know the reason...i mean...if they can ask us why mba and why tapmi in the interview...shouldn't we ask them....WHY NOT US??...think about it!!...anyone from tapmi listening??
wat ur trying to say makes sense....atleast to me.....i think the colls shud publish the marks scored in each round wen they put up the list...i think by this way we can atleast have a look back at our performance and work on improving it....

friend, I don't think that tapmi guys put that much emphasis on acads. I have terrible acads including few kts in engg. but managed to sneak thru. May B I was lucky;-)
looks like i am not in. this was my best gd/pi performance.
:bad-word:
cat percentile-98.25. no idea what went wrong. u guys sure bout the y,w funda?
Does not really matter as i have been selected by sibm, which was higher on my list. But it really feels bad when u dont get something u were sure of getting.
:shocked:
Anyways, atb to those who made it to tapmi.
p.s: cat score was definitely one of the criteria. I guess it did not have too much weightage.
i had 98.65%le, good gd, extempore was not too good not too bad, poor acads (got drilled bcos of that in pi and di). i'm not in. so, CAT %le isn't important to them, it seems. what other calls do u hav?
Just because you are rejected by it, you need not start vilifying the institute. If it was so bad..why did u attend the interviews at the first place....well you might say i didnt know enough earlier...but are you sure of what you 'know' now?
we understand TAPMI is not in the same level as some higher ranked instis but we are elated abt the selection cos we have not got better ones and also we believe Tapmi is not a bad choice.
There are so many who eagerly want to get into the institute here and you can start of posting here that this is not a great insti n ur all fools to celebrate getting through.
Maybe all the support ppl have given you on this forum has gone to ur head....im sorry to say this given ur condition but....you need to think a little abt the ppl who read your posts too. Good wishes for your career.....no hard feelings!!
Pavan
my dear in ur excitement of conversion ur thinking i feel is quite fogged..ur not getting my point....the questions i was pondering upon were ethical in nature...as far as support getting to head is concerned...i am thankful to them who gave me its just that u were not one of them...
...also read before you react....ok...reacting without thinking is not a quality of a wud be manager
Clrd.
Wasnt in any doubt abt tht.
but the honeymoon with TAPMI ends here.
Many thnx to the Interview panelists who gave me a grilling stress interview ...
Thnx and apologies to fellow gd/extempore walas..who were shouted at by me in the gd...were bored with my ramblings in the extempore ...
Forgive all the fresher dudes who ate my head discussing electronics ..diode chrs...yeh woh wht not ..:angel: ...ppl it was an mba interview...not BE final yr viva-voce
ppl who made it ..atb make the best use of the opportunity..
ppl who hvnt ..hope thr are a few lessons learnt ..albeit the hard way..(i hv been doing tht 4 the past 1.5 yr)
im hoping for greener pastures..

hey anks...congrats for making it thru mate...but let me tell u that u're one of the very few who have made it inspite of poor acads...do u have work ex?...and did they even know about u'r kt's?...i mean were u drilled about them in u'r pi/di?...plz. tell us me about it...also, could u plz. tell me how did u respond to the grilling?...i mean how did u justify u'r kt's?...maybe therein we would find the answers!...Thanks.
Anks Saysfriend, I don't think that tapmi guys put that much emphasis on acads. I have terrible acads including few kts in engg. but managed to sneak thru. May B I was lucky;-)
I am also on the waitlist....
Just called the admission office...The lady in the office was very helpful...
Though the numbers of waitlisted candidates were not told... we can safely assume it to be about the same as the selected candidates.
It was told to me that the first installment is going to be 25K(nonrefundable) by 21 March. And the next installment of 78 K is to b paid by April 15.
So if there r candidates who do not pay the 25K, there will b a second list by 25 March.
So wait and watch...
thanks mac
but what i would have really liked is that they should have given no.s that way no false hopes could have been there.
but the no. of not joining are also quite a few as i have seen on pagalguy itself
also do the shortlist work according to the specializations or something
anyway best of luck to you
what other calls do you have lined up ???
me waiting for mica and kj som lined up that's it
May B Saysdid they even know about u'r kt's?...i mean were u drilled about them in u'r pi/di?...plz. tell us me about it...also, could u plz. tell me how did u respond to the grilling?...i mean how did u justify u'r kt's?
Infact the ques on kts was the very first in the Panel int. Also they were not that impressed with my 12th % (62
). I explained them the reasons behind such acads which more or less revolved around my lack of competitiveness, at that stage in my career. Me topping the theory aggregate in the next few semester helped to back-up my claims of coming back strongly after biting the dust . I just tried to convince them that I am capable of persevering and facing failures head-on. Just to ans ur ques -- I am a fresher and a mech engg grad.
hi folks!
i...got rejected. well no suprise there...88%tile 
with low acads (78%, 75% and 65% (final yr B.Tech EEE)...decent enough performance in GD and xtmpr. Got grilled as hell in acads, both in panel as well as in D-intrvw...that was expected too...
They actually said "All the best for Nirma!" 
Anyway, i got placed in Satyam as a software trainee during campus selection and i'm in a serious dilemma...Should i join Satyam or not? :huh: If i do, i might not get any time to prep for CAT next time...if i don't the question "Why didn't u do anything over the last year?" is sure to pop-up! 
people with work-ex in similar field and who got through...could u help me out?
also, the think-tanks out there...is there any chance i got with these abysmal record + maybe work-ex? :eh:
ATB to those who got through and to those who are still up an about and gonna take another swing at it next time around! 
Best and CYa ,
Rohit
An excellent point raised by someone here was that there needs to be greater transparency in the GD/PI and subsequent final selection process - I couldn't agree more.
Most international b-schools will definitely tell you where you faltered if asked why you didn't get selected.
This should be applicable to indian b-schools too as a weakness/fault/mistake/shortcoming can only be corrected/reduced/done away with when idenitifed.
Unless this is done, it doesn't make sense as year after year one will just keep applying to the institute in question, get shortlisted for GD/PI, perform well to his expectations and then not get selected.
It's like banging your head against a wall and it's frustrating.
Institutes like SPJIMR in particular need to implement this. I will have no qualms with people with nearly 10%le less than me in CAT get selected for GD/PI and I don't so long as I am made to understand WHY he/she was preferred over me.
well anks...can't say anything more than CONGRATS!!...u deserved to get selected...good answers...but i know a couple of people who weren't even asked about their kt's and yet got rejected...and i dare say it wasn't 'coz of gd/pi...'coz they were great...u were obviously among the very few who got thru inspite of poor acads (although u say u topped the theory aggregate!...bad acads??)...but i think u answered brilliantly!...so u deserved to get thru!

Hi everybody,
Has anyone got some news about when they r going to declare the second list.
