TAPM and Welingkar are equally good institutes. TAPMI is ranked better than Welingkar. ROI is better for Welingkar. Corporate exposure is good in TAPMI, as they have student exchange program too. Some of the important points while selecting an institute are accreditation of the institute, institute's infrastructure, teaching faculty, specialization offered, past placements records, tuition fees, city preference, and industry interface. As Welingkar is having campuses in cities like Mumbai and Bengaluru industry exposure is good for students in either of the college. If possible a visit to college is better option to get a reality check. Also, get in touch with college alumni's through the social network to get information about the latest changes if any. Check the below link for a comparison between the two: <a href="https://www.shiksha.com/resources/college-comparison-169766-113283" style='word-wrap:break-word;'>https://www.shiksha.com/resources/college-comparison-169766-113283</a>.

We School's fee structure is 11.6 lakh rupees. The average package is 8.5 LPA. PGDM Courses offered: HR, Marketing, Operations, Finance, Rural Management, Retail Management, Media & Entertainment, Business Analytics, E-business, Healthcare Management and Business Design. TAMPI's fee structure: 14 lakhs. The avg. package offered: 10.06 LPA. PGDM courses offered: Banking & Financial Services, Healthcare, HR, Marketing, Operations and Finance. ROI for both the colleges is almost same. Courses offered at TAMPI are residential ones, wherein, you have to stay and complete your course at the campus and the fee structure includes hostel charges too. While We School doesn't offer a residential program. When it comes to choosing between the two, few aspects are to be considered: 1. Residential program 2. Capital to be invested 3. Location 4. ROI Otherwise, there is not much to differentiate between the two.

The B-Schools in contention are both top tier 2 schools and are comparable. Though, in long term there is not much difference between the two schools mentioned but we can still compare them on the following parameters: 1. Student capital- The student capital is almost the same at We as well as TAPMI. You ideally have the cohort who has scored anything between 80- 90percentile in the entrance exam, so not much to choose 2. Location: Welingkar and Tapmi due to Mumbai location. If one is interested in a PGDM in finance, Mumbai is definitely the place to be due to the sheer number of opportunities one can expect for internship as well as final placements. If you look at the placement reports, you can realise that top finance companies visit We school. 3. Campus life- TAPMI is a part of Manipal University which has a huge campus near the beautiful town of Udupi. With excellent weather and beach nearby, you have an amazing campus life at TAPMI. They also have QoTB- Quiz on the beach which is one of the feature events of TAPMI organized by the Quiz Club. On the other hand, life at Welingkar is not that happening and it has a small campus like most B-Schools in Mumbai. 4. Placements- Easily the most significant factor for any student. The average placement for both TAPMI and We school is around 7.5 LPA. The median will be slightly lower. If we see domain wise, the recruiters for HR and marketing are better at TAPMI whereas finance and operations is better at Welingkar. You have companies like CRISIL, Asian Paints, Deloitte, HDFC visiting We school whereas good marketing recruiters like Idea, Shell, Marico, visit TAPMI. So, you will have good options. 5. Alumni strength- TAPMI is older and due to the Manipal factor, it has a large alumni network. Final verdict- Not much to choose but if interested in finance- go for Welingkar and if in any other domain, go for TAPMI.
