Colleges in Mumbai

The admission scores for all courses of SPTM Shirpur (NMIMS) are different. B. Pharm requires a minimum of 45% to 50% in 12th-grade PCM/PCB (Physics, Chemistry, Math/Biology) along with a valid score in NPAT, for which the expected cutoff generally remains somewhere around 80-100 out of 150, depending on yearly final cutoffs.

A person wanting an MBA Pharma Tech needs to have either graduated with a bachelor's degree (minimum 50% marks) and must clear NMAT, usually with marks in the range of 180-220 out of 360, with a higher cut-off for the top candidates. The M.Pharm programme requires a minimum 55% in B.Pharm along with GPAT qualification (candidates ranked under 500-1000 are competitive). A candidate for Ph.D. admission has to possess at least a master's degree (with greater than or equal to 60%) and clear NET/SET or NMIMS entrance test scores, which have not been fixed but research aptitude would be given preference.

MET Institute of Mass Media is not ranked Tier 1 or Tier 2. It stands somewhere reasonably Tier 2, compared to Tier 1 which would include institutions like IIMC or Xavier's Mumbai, and it has a reputation for practical classes with a strong emphasis on various aspects of media, such as advertising, journalism, and digital media.

The Mumbai location once again helps to foster good placement and industry connections, sitting at an average of INR 4-6 Lacs per annum with organizations like Ogilvy or Times Group. The faculty and the facilities are good, but it lacks the national stature to be a top-tier school and thus loses in research respectability.

The Post Graduate Program Executive Master of Business Administration in Insurance which MET CITRD, Bandra, provides is challenging on a medium scale. The training module is planned in such faculty members that merge management principles with insurance-specificities, thus requiring fast analytical and strategic thought. The curriculum concentrates on risk management, underwriting, and financial analysis and may be strenuous for a beginner.

The prospects of completion are much bigger for those with 2-5 years of experience, but things will continue to unfold in the technical sections and case studies. Nonetheless, faculty support is strong, but self-study must be done to grab the full knowledge. The evaluators concern themselves with a candidate's projects and practical application rather than knowledge of chapters. Once somebody is motivated and continuous with all his efforts, it's no big deal, especially if the student has a business background.

MET CITRD, Bandra, even though costs for the PGP or PGP EMBA programs may touch on the expensive side, that is due to the Mumbai culture, yet it is not in the higher category. In-around INR 8 Lacs to 12 Lacs for the entire programme costs, running up to 23 to 24 months, not only covering tuition and course material but also the facilities.

Surprisingly, this cost falls below the major Tier 1 players like the IIMs (INR 15-25 lakh) and some other tier 2 schools with a pretty strong reputation (INR 5-7 Lacs each). In addition to the base charges, one must also count another around INR 1-2 Lacs for the rent in shanty-town or in open houses. All in all, you would find it fair, given placements and the huge opportunity to brighten anyone's life in the future. 

Unlike MET CITRD, Bandra, many other management institutes are not given the Tier 1 or Tier 2 tag. Itself is a low Tier 2 category per se. In terms of nation-wide fame, it does not have that extraordinary Tier 1-like tag that is attributed to the institutions like the IIMs or the Hyderabad ISB.
In Mumbai, catering performance is taken irrespective of the big league. In the case of the 2024 batch, between 7 to 8 Lacs is the take-home package of MET CITRD. Facilities within the infrastructure and the teaching faculty are in-line with esteemed business schools. Research is not its the strongest point, neither has the programme been ever ranked, nor has MET CITRD acquired a good number of successful alumni from its representative body.

This is usually the Tier 2 choice for a student after the knowledge he should have the understanding about when the concept of value surpasses the concept of prestige in higher education.
