On the 5th and final day of the 5-day Faculty Development Programme conducted by MET CET, Dr. Chitra Wadke, Head, MET CET, led a session on Innovative Assessment.

The session highlighted how assessments can go beyond measuring knowledge to nurturing creativity, deeper learning, and holistic student growth—reflecting MET’s commitment to progressive teaching practices and academic excellence.

As part of the Basics of Banking lecture, PGP EMBA students from the MET Asian Management Development Centre (MET AMDC) visited HDFC Bank, Fort Branch. The event was organized by Prof. Nisha Chhabria, former Vice President of HDFC Bank, with the aim of complementing classroom learning through practical exposure to the operations of a leading financial institution.

Students gained valuable insights into customer services, digital banking systems, and financial product offerings. The session also helped them understand various banking departments, aligning with their syllabus and providing a comprehensive overview of Banking as a Service. This first-hand experience bridged the gap between theory and practice while supporting informed career decisions.

On 24th August 2025, MET AMDC EMBA students gained valuable real-world exposure by volunteering at Tamasha Factory’s Mic Drop event, hosted at Lord of the Drinks, Worli. The platform offered them first-hand experience of the dynamic pace and challenges of a live entertainment show while contributing to its seamless execution.

Their roles spanned artist coordination, backstage facilitation, audience interaction, and operational support, giving them a holistic view of event and celebrity management. This immersive engagement not only enhanced their practical understanding of event logistics but also reinforced essential managerial skills such as teamwork, adaptability, and professionalism—vital for future leaders in the field.
