MBA-Marketing

Master of Business Administration – Marketing (MBA-Marketing)

Mastering Market Growth and Value Creation

The marketing program at TAPMI is uniquely structured to provide students with a holistic understanding of marketing concepts, tools, and techniques. The program dedicates over sixty-five percent of course learning hours to marketing, ensuring students immerse themselves deeply in the field. This early, focused exposure to marketing is complemented by interdisciplinary learning, ensuring students have a well-rounded management education that supports their strong marketing orientation.

BrandScan- Excellence in Applied Learning

A standout feature of the program is BrandScan, a marketing course that allows students to work on real-world business challenges that leading organizations face. BrandScan has evolved from a humble market research fair in Manipal in 1993 to a comprehensive market research activity spread across India. Over the years, students have collaborated with clients like ITC, CIPLA, CavinKare, HP, and Reliance, providing an unparalleled opportunity to apply their learning to solve marketing problems that directly impact the business.

This program is ideal for candidates with a strong academic background, preferably with work experience and a substantial achievement orientation. With the support of TAPMI’s distinguished faculty, industry connections, and global accreditations, students are well-positioned to become leaders in the marketing domain.

Learning by Doing

What truly sets TAPMI’s marketing apart is its hands-on approach. Every student is required to work on live projects alongside their summer internship, offering valuable industry exposure. The mentorship program further enhances this practical learning, where students benefit from the guidance of TAPMI alumni who hold senior leadership positions across industries. In the second year, students specialize in specific sectors, learning directly from industry professionals who bring current, real-world knowledge to the classroom.

Moreover, the program is committed to producing well-rounded marketers with a broad perspective on the industry. TAPMI’s strong faculty base, with expertise in academia and industry, ensures that students are equipped with theoretical knowledge and practical skills. This blend of applied research, diverse industry experience, and teaching excellence form the foundation of the program’s success in placing graduates in marketing roles across sectors like Fast Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG), Consumer Durables, Retail, Banking, and Financial Services.
