This is the statement I would dream about hearing from you guys after you’ve had a chance to go through my detailed review of Tapmi Manipal Institute. So, let’s get the ball rolling shall we?

Holaagain peeps! Welcome to another new college series on our IES blog. As the summer is fastapproaching, it is that time of the year where admissions begin for a new academic year. It is now, that we start searching and hunting for schools and colleges. This time of the year is when most of the admission sessions begin and admission departments in most institutes are very active and busy working with the admission procedure. If by any chance you are also one among handful of bright young adults who is looking for an exciting changein your life waiting to create memories, well no need to wait any longer. Let me take you through a story of an IT employee’s life who wanted to hit the books once again but situations surrounding him didn’t aid him to work on it the way he wanted to.
So this is a story ...
... about my cousin brother. He was a very studious and ambitious student who successfully completed his Bachelor’s degree in Information Technology from a very reputed college. He scored very well and also got placed in a good MNC with a hefty package. He always wanted to achieve aMaster’s degreefrom the day he began his University tenure as a Bachelorof IT Engineering. At this point of time he was not able to afford a master’s degree and so was forced to take up his campus placement and then continue his masters at a later stage of his life. Butlittle did he know life had other plans for him. When the time came for him to study, guess what happened? his parents got him engaged and his marriage was fixed. Amongst his marriage rituals his academic plans got postponed. Then he came to a point in life where he knew in his gut that it was now or never. But he couldn’t quit his job to study as he had family obligations that he had to take careof. But, unsurprisingly, he didn’t let that phase him, I guess he was always kinda stubborn in that sense.He searched for ways to pursue the missed education somehow. That is when he came across the Executive MBA Programme at TAPMI Manipaland actually considered it as a viable option. Later he researched and realised that this was the only way he could make his dream come true. So without any further delays he joined and pursued his degree and as I’m writing this, he has graduated successfully with a Master’s degree. Today, as he looks back at all the hurdles he has facedhe came to the realization that they were all stepping stones creating a pathway for him to conquer his goal. The road he travelled did not matter, all that mattered was the means through which he would reach his destination.The difficulties that he faced are numerous. When you have the willpower to follow your dreams nothing or no situation can really stop you from moving towards it. Are you an ambitious person like my cousin? Do you also want to study while you work? If you answered ‘Yes” to both of them, then let’s learn about the college and this course.
