The only "vital Information" that can be put to any use (by a cyber criminal spending 3 years on a mba webpage) will be the email id. apart form that every other "vital statistics" just helps to know what the batch composition might be like. [ By the way, I just realised Google was clever enough to understand that I might be a "crook" so its not letting me track the email addresses on the webpage 😃 ]
I think it is of very vital importance to know about batch composition because pretty much everything else (like you mentioned) including but not only aicte approval, course description, waitlist numbers and a fees of around 10 lakh are up in the air. So if the batch mix isn't good for a batch of 360 then it surely means a lot of trouble.
About the networking sites link, as of now 3 people have enlisted their information (me included) in about 2-3 days and the sheet has gathered 9 names in about 10 mins of its inception. The information is just plain easier to gather here. ofcourse the social networking link has to be added and is added under your pg signature.
By the time we all decide if we want to join and pay the fees it will be too late to know who are joining etc etc. So unless people know information it is absolute foolishness to take a decision worth of 2 years, 10+ lakhs and an opportunity costs many times of the same.
If a person doesn't know if another guy joining his batch is as passionate about things he likes then he/she will probably not join especially when all the other vital information is withheld by the college. This was an attempt to stop that attrition.
The "web page" which in my mind was successful in doing what it was set-up to do. Make flow of information easier for everyone to see.
Dude, there is 26yrs of tradition involved while selecting the right students for a batch in TAPMI. The varied interests, varied profiles, varied educational background are all part of the student mix that finally gets into TAPMI. This is how the TAPMI brand is made and it is known to all and it is guaranteed!! So no need to worry about the student mix!! At this early stage, it really seems very surprising that you want to know details about other candidates that seems to be totally irrelevant to make a decision on whether to join TAPMI or not!! We have had other polls which could help the waitlisted candidates get an idea of their chances, etc. Such details make sense. How can you make a questionnaire which calls for which club/committee in TAPMI you would be interested to join, etc when you yourself are not aware of what all clubs/committees exists in TAPMI?? Such matters come much later, even after getting into TAPMI. So, what I mean is, stick to things which are relevant and helpful for the candidates and do not come with unnecessary initiatives!! Make this thread meaningful!! Once we get this list confusion settled, we'll interact and know more about each other. Right now, there are bigger things to worry about...
So you mean a candidate who has applied for IB and BFS alongwith PGDM can opt for PGDM if he takes up either of IB or BFS? Sounds unfair for those guys who have applied only for PGDM! In my opinion, a person who is willing to risk his spot in IB and BFS for PGDM should be suitably rewarded!!
Puys,
Update !!!
If you have applied for PGDM but couldn't clear it and now plan to join PGDM-IB/PGDM-BFS/PGDM-HCM. If someone drops out from PGDM course later, next person in merit list be offered PGDM seat. Even if that candidate has taken admission in any other course ( Given he has applied to PGDM).

To rephrase what Sandeep has said. All the candidates who have attended the interview process will be sorted rank wise(irrespetive of whether a candidate has applied for PGDM, BFSI or IB or a combination of these 3 subjects). Candidates would then be given their 1st choice based on "rank" and not because what all specialization the candidate has applied. For e.g If my rank is 181 and i have applied for PGDM as my 1st choice and IB as my 2nd choice. There is another candidate Mr. X who has given only PGDM as his choice. After initial results, I have been waitlisted for PGDM course but I have been offered a confirmred seat in my 2nd choice - IB. Now incase there is a vacancy in PGDM course at a later date then I would be offered PGDM seat before Mr X inspite of me holding a "confirmed" seat of my 2nd choice. I understand it might sound a bit confusing. PM in case you want more details.

Finance Companies also offered financial services marketing and Offerred Customer Relationship Manager (this is the same profile that Chetan Bhagat had described in the book Two States 😁 )

if this is confirmed then its fine,because thats the way it should be.
Nope, no. of calls is 2334 to be precise! You can check the 7 mb TAPMI update file available on its website. It says 7822 forms sold and 2334 calls given.
no of calls nearly 2600 and not 2300
i think number of people who attended will be atleast 2000.
and yeah, i personally think people who chose bfs (who wanted to do finance) made a very smart decision but i don't think enough people have given it their top choice. Even IB would have been a fair choice if information was given about it. like i said before after talking to prof.Rudran "we are chalking out finer details" in my find the IB course will be bent towards International Business (as told by sir himself) and International Marketing. most probably will be a good juggle between both.
Well...The Mumbai guys will have conflicting views. Because if you ask me, the no. of prospective students in our Panel was 11 on 12. Nowhere near 50% that few claim. I had gone on the first day (15th April).
You are mistaken total calls were 2334 (read TAPMI ) and one cant say abt absentees, bcoz ppl in mumbai say there were 50% students and in delhi ppl say 20-25% who did not attend GD-PI.
Others can also find information about the placements of 2008-10 batch and list of some recruiters in this TAPMI 2010 update. The median package was 7.0 and highest 9.3LPA.
There is information about BFS, IB, HCM courses also in this link. Its an official tapmi authority update, so its authentic too.
Unfortunately it does not contain info on the AICTE approval of the new courses (for same we have to wait till 10th or 15th MAY).
The finance firm that I work for (and it's a pretty huge name) has taken 2-3 students from TAPMI. The gal that I know is flying to a European city for work! That too within 2 months of joining. And I don't think all the finance aspirants would've been placed as CRMs. That's a lowly profile compared to something in Research.!!
Profiles offered for our senie batch-

I guess those who have opted for all three courses with 1st pref to PGDM have equal right of seat @ PGDM as a person who has applied to only PGDM.
Moreover if a person is not allowed to shift then it would be unfair as he would have to take a course which was his 2nd/ 3rd choice although a seat in his 1st choice course was vacant for his Merit No.

I don believe you should term any profile as "lowly" because a CRM profile differs substantially than a Research profile and both these profiles have very separate KRA's. So I guess the two profiles cannot be compared.
Analysing from d previous posts, does it mean that candidates who hv been waitlisted for PGDM have strong chances of getting their IB or BFS choices converted??
Got your point, Bharat. Sounds unfair. In my opinion if a person is willing to risk his BFS / IB seat for PGDM by waiting it out, he should be adequately compensated. As in, if a person takes up BFS or IB he should no longer appear in the Waiting List for PGDM! Anyways, it doesn't matter what I feel! It's upto TAPMI to decide what's best for everyone! :o

I think he didn't risk it.He just played safe by marking options.Moreover,it wasn't imposed on someone to give one or two preferences.Lets not speculate much on it as it is fuly in hands of manipal admission committee....
Maybe..But still I can't fathom a TAPMI student opting for CRM!

According to me its fair,
Suppose guy X outperformed Y in in Admission process and got better rank, now it does not matter what Y sacrifices and X not, X is always ahead in race.

Buddy I dont think so...its merit that should matter ..not gutsy nature or risking or sacrificing things...Why risk your seat friend...get into bsf or IB if we know the waitlist number is small in PGDM...and know that we can slide into pgdm ...
Lets assume X's waitlist number for PGDM is 16...and got confirmed admission in BSF...on lets say 16th of may...and there has been considerable movement in the waitlist of PGDM...
So it would rational for X to take up BSF ...knowing that for sure he's gonna get into PGDM...and then slide into PGDM when the moment comes...
If X feels anyhow BSF and IB are not his cup of tea he will wait for the pgdm waitlist to clear anyways....
So I dont see where we lose out...
This also gives a chance for people who gave BSF or IB as their first preference but are waitlisted for their respective courses...It would be all the more better if a person who chose IB as the number one option to get into IB than a person with second preference for IB to get stuck with IB with a lingering mind...
