Overall, it’s a mix of above-average and average professors. MET has three courses – MMS, PGDM and eMBA. While a part of the faculty for all is common, each course also has faculty specific to the course. MMS normally gets the cream, while PGDM and eMBA lag behind a little bit.

Verdict:

The crowd is good, the infrastructure is better, the location is probably one of the best. But just how good is MET overall? The jury is still out. Most students say the MMS course is pretty good, but you should opt for any of the other two only if ‘you have no choice’.

MET is good for MMS and PG courses.....e-M BA course is designed very innovatively, however the course management and coordination is no so good.
