DIRECTOR'S MESSAGE
Prof. Madhu Veeraraghavan
Director and T A Pai Chair Professor of Finance
Dear TAPMI Aspirant,
Greetings!
I thank you for considering TAPMI as your next
college to study management and secure a top
grade career. Globally, the top business schools
are housed in the University. Following this
model, TAPMI now joins MAHE (Institute of
Eminence). This model is in line with the best
practices around the world, where Business
schools operate as a part of the University (e.g.
Booth school of Business, Stern school of
Business, Sloan School of Management, and
Harvard Business School). These business
schools are largely within the framework of the
University of Chicago, New York University, MIT
and Harvard university respectively.
The following pages will help you in making the
right choice from among the courses we offer as
we stand fully prepared to support and sustain

you throughout your journey of achievement and
fulfilment at TAPMI.
That the TAPMI experience is unique is well
known. We, at TAPMI, now face the challenge of
not only maintaining that uniqueness but also
enhancing vast portions of it. To paraphrase
Shakespeare, change has been thrust on us in the
past few months, like never before in living
memory. For conscientious institutions like TAPMI,
the COVID crisis is a dual challenge: our response
to the COVID crisis has not only got be
appropriate, but the response has got to be
sufficiently future proof. We believe that our
COVID response takes into account the nature
and extent of change of the foreseeable future.
This has meant that our course content has had to
be redesigned; the course delivery mechanisms
have had to be re-coursed and our infrastructure,
both physical and virtual, has had to be improved.
The changes do not stop here. We have added
supplementary courses to upgrade skills and
enhance employability in collaboration with
renowned digital knowledge transfer platforms
(such as COURSERA). We have augmented and
sharp-focused our industry partnerships to make
our students sail through placements. We have
deployed multiple intelligence psychometric
assessments so that our students navigate
through their life and career with self-assurance
and success. There are premium internships and
CXO interfaces to give our students a slice of real-
time and real-space experience before they
immerse themselves in their chosen career. The
list goes on.
Reading hereon, you will come to know of the
extraordinary measures we have taken to make
your stay safe, rewarding and memorable in the
happy event you join us for your career. The one
and only objective that we do all this is to ensure
we send into the world well-adjusted individuals
and genuine professionals.
Here's looking forward to welcoming you aboard
TAPMI in the batch of 2021-23!

4th Batch

Value Creation through People

To create sustainable competitive advantage through human

capital, there is a dire need for quality human resource
professionals, which is not being fulfilled in the country owing to
very few institutes offering quality programs in human resources.
TAPMI's PGDM-HRM programme is aimed at addressing this gap. It
is a unique programme focused on creating thought leaders in
human resources who can effectively manage people and
organizations for high performance. The programme aims at:
· Delivering a comprehensive course curriculum in human
resources which empowers students to become strategic
partners for business.
· Building exceptional behavioral and functional HR
competencies.
· Providing an inclusive and excellent learning environment.
· Partnering with the industry and community to address the
need of the region, country and the world.
The graduates of this programme will be adept in the following
competency clusters aligned to SHRM Body of Competency &
Knowledge:
1. Leadership and Navigation; Ethical Practices
2. Business Acumen; Consultation; Critical Evaluation
3. Relationship Management; Global and Cultural
Effectiveness; Communication

etc.).
If HR is your passion, TAPMI should be your
destination.
Programme Structure
The PGDM-HRM programme is divided into six
trimesters spread over two years. During the first
three terms of the first year, students study
courses majorly related to Human Resource
Management with few elementary courses
related to other disciplines like Finance and
Economics, Marketing, Operations Management,
and Information System Management. All
students take up an internship at the end of the
third trimester and eligible ones would appear for
the Society for Human Resource Management -
Certified Professionals (SHRM-CP) certification in
the second year. Also, students develop deeper
understanding of specific HR issues related to
people in organizations by working on industry
live-projects.
During the second year, students are exposed to
advance courses in Labor Laws, Analytics and
Organizational Development along with several
workshops on advanced and upcoming fields.
Students also get to study subjects from other
disciplines to become a true business partner.

THE PGDM – HRM EDGE

Association with SHRM India

For PGDM-HRM, TAPMI has partnered with Society for Human Resource Management India, a wholly owned
subsidiary of the Society for Human Resource Management (visit www. SHRM.org) to co-design the PGDM-
HRM curriculum. With this collaboration, the programme is aligned to SHRM's Body of Competence and
Knowledge (BoCK) ensuring the global standards and access to contemporary knowledge. As part of the
arrangement, TAPMI's PGDM-HRM students are eligible to write SHRM Certified Professionals exam, the
most coveted global certification for HR professionals.

Industry Internship (Summer Internships)

At TAPMI, it was realized that a summer project for
mere academic compliance benefitted neither
the industry nor the student. To take this activity to
a new level, early and extended Summer
Internships have been introduced. It includes a
one-week exposure to industry during the first
year followed by 8-10 weeks of summer internship
at the end of the year. Students take up a project
and spend this time accomplishing the goals set
by the host organizations. TAPMI also encourages
and provides flexibility for an early and extended
internship ranging up to 5 months to enable
students take up significant projects like
o rg a n i z a t i o n re s t r u c t u r i n g , m e rg e r a n d
acquisition etc.
These internships are experiences where
students learn to be managers and go beyond
textbooks to solve complex business problems.
Summer Internships have been recognized and
acclaimed by the industry and the management
fraternity as an innovation in management
education, where students get an opportunity to
relate classroom concepts to live application in an
integrated and organizational environment.

Programme (PGDM-Marketing) starting
from the academic year 2019-2020. This Programme
is aimed at producing professionally trained
manpower to occupy leadership/managerial roles in
the domain of sales & marketing across various
sectors of the economy.
Sales skills are at a premium today and there is a
growing need for well-trained sales professionals in
India & abroad. With customers being more aware
and demanding, the quality of sales needs to be top
class. While in the B2B arena, the emphasis is on
managing relationships through excellent account
management practices, in B2C, the challenge is to
succeed in organized retail and growing rural
markets. Hence, sales professionals need to be
highly adaptable. In recent times, sales jobs have
also become more data-driven and sales managers
now need to make decisions based on sophisticated
tools to manage a sales team that is more
achievement and reward oriented.

thousands of viewpoints, picturesque Manipal
provides the perfect setting for learning.
At TAPMI, the campus is always abuzz with
activity. Memories are created for a lifetime as
students share their joys and hardships with their
new-found family.
Celebrating festivals away from home becomes
more exciting than ever, with a family bonded by
friendship. Cine Nights under the starry sky, at the

amphitheater, provides relaxation after a busy
day. The various student committees help
students pursue their passion, nurture their talent
and help in their holistic development.
The life inside the campus is as stimulating as the
outside. Hostel life takes on a whole new meaning
with late-night meetings, and conversations over
snacks and steaming cups of coffee. Classes,
case discussions, quizzes and guest lectures are
just a few of the academic activities. The other
side of TAPMI is fueled by the high-spirited
TAPMIans conducting and participating in events,
competitions and events in and around the
campus.
