MET Institute of Management Bandra West Mumbai Answered Questions

Hi,
Mumbai is always a better option as compared to Pune because of more corporates being present and it being the commercial and financial capital of India. So better internships and placements are there in Mumbai.
a) MITSOT, Pune only specialises in telecom (which as a sector isn't doing too great) so they give very limited industry interface.
b) MET, Mumbai was good till a few years back. However, in the past couple of years, they are facing issues because of the trust problems and placements have also got affected. They have a very large intake which is good for campus life but not so good for education & placement quality. It is located in Bandra which is great for showbiz and glamour but not too many companies are located there.
c) Athena, Mumbai is located in Hiranandani Gardens, Powai which is a corporate hub. They have a very good placement record and have multiple internships. It also has tie-ups with international universities. Many students have got Pre-Placement Offers within their 1st semester.
So in the following parameters: -
1) Location-Athena = MET and MITSOT
2) Internships-Athena, MET and MITSOT
3) Campus-MET, Athena and MITSOT
4) Placements-Athena, MET and MITSOT
5) Faculty-Athena, MITSOT and MET
6) International Tieups-Athena, MET and MITSOT
7) Corporate Exposure-Athena, MET and MITSOT
8) Student Quality-Athena, MET and MITSOT
Hope this helps.

Hi Kumar,
I can only speak about your chances at 96.09 percentile for MMS at XIMR. You have a good chance in the open category on the basis of last year's cutoff available on the website. However, cut-offs are basis the number of applicants at high percentiles.
Additionally, basis my understanding, XIMR is a niche, focused, primarily academic-driven institution, whereas, MET is a wholistic developer of managerial skills and indulges in a practical implementation of knowledge. Their batch size is larger than XIMR. This aids targeted knowledge to students of XIMR.
XIMR also provides access to many distinguished faculties from XLRI. JBIMS, etc. This helps their main offering of quality education to leaders of tomorrow. Read up on both colleges thoroughly before making a decision.
Hope this helps.

Good to hear that you got selected at IBS, Mumbai. It's a great institute to learn management and various skills required to work in the corporate environment. As far as MET-Bandra is concerned, it has a good corporate presence with companies that visit every year for placements. You need to compare the fees structure and placement records from the placement cell of IBS Mumbai as you got selected for IBM, Mumbai and others accordingly to see what ROI you would be getting after you get placed. You even need to compare the same track records for MET-Bandra by asking relevant sources like your friends or the students already studying there. As I am IBS Mumbai pass out, I would say that placements are good and even the faculty and course wise teaching is good, designed and updated as per industry specifications. Academically also they provide 3 months internship which is very good in itself as no other institution provides such a great practical exposure to corporate like IBS-Mumbai does. They follow a good corporate teaching pattern and make students learn the pressure of corporate culture and accordingly how to adjust with it. Package wise, they have the average package of Rs 6 LPA and the highest package of Rs 11.5 LPA.

Sorry for the delayed reply. Yes, ACCA in MET is worth joining. But, there are exemptions for only 4 papers not 6 that also only if you are B.Com graduate. The placement scenario after completing ACCA, a fresher get a package of around Rs 8 lakhs.
