Life at MET: Balance Between Books, Fun & Learning

Mumbai Educational Trust - MET

The popular notion regarding the life of an MBA student is a busy and hectic one. And it is a true one. It begins from new books and journeys its way through the Notes, Assignments, Classes, Projects, Internships and finally ends at Placements. The schedule of almost every B-school is usually very tight and hardly leaves any room for extra-curricular activities. The life in a management institute is mechanical and the experience is different for every student. But is this the right approach for a B-school to adopt? Definitely not. While it is essential for the institute to complete the syllabus on time, the approach needs a slight change. When searching for Business Schools, one should always look for a college that can provide both world-class education and also leaves room for life outside B-school studies that builds substance in students.

Why should there be a life outside management books and assignments?

Who doesn’t love a high GPA? You will rarely find anyone answering this question with “I don’t”. To secure good marks in the semester exams, one definitely must work hard. But these hardworking students deserve a much better approach than the machine-like attitude.

What should be the ideal B-school environment for an MBA student?

MET World of Music (MWM)

Many institutes adopt different approaches to allow students to unwind. The Mumbai Educational Trust – MET League of Colleges has gone one step ahead to develop an ingenious platform for the relaxation of the students. The MET World of Music (MWM) is an inventive approach that MET, Mumbai has taken that allows students to forget their stress and recline in the midst of acoustic bliss. It is a musical therapy for the students in the structure of a music studio to experience natural life from over a huge collection of songs and genres of music.

Recreation Area at MET

MET understands the importance of having breaks for MBA students and has a dedicated recreational area for students to de-stress whenever they deem fit. Within the confines of MET Institute, is a recreation room which is equipped with indoor games such as carrom, and table tennis, chess, archery etc. MET also has facility for outdoor games like cricket, football.

Outbound Management Trips at MET

MET believes in blending theory with practical lessons. Thus all management students of MET (PGDM, eMBA, uMBA, MMS, eMBA-Insurance) are taken for an outbound trip to acquaint them with management concepts, principles and practices through various games and exercises. This outbound training enables the MBA students to not only break the ice but also brings out a feeling of cooperation, group building, sympathy and coordination amongst them. This whole experience brings out the best in each student and is an innovative way of learning through fun and frolic.

 

MBA students deal with a lot of stress and an environment like MET can mean much more than the scholastic development of the student. With an event like MET Utsav, any management student can take a break from the rigorous academics and cherish the extra-curricular activities. MET World of Music (MWM) is the much-needed facility that can also serve as an effective theory to handle study pressure. A good B-school’s curriculum can be exacting but only the better management institute understands and provides better infrastructure and facilities for the personal development of the students.
