Launchpad (Aarohan) of PGDM (e-Business) Batch 2018-20 consisting of 120 students was held from 4th June 2018 to 6th June 2018 at MET. Chief Guest, Mrs. Maya Patole – General Manager, Metro inaugurated the proceedings. In an enlightening lecture, she indicated the working of Metro through a series of slides, difficulties faced by the Corporation, rehabilitation of displaced families, planting trees to replenish trees cut for the work, etc.

She informed the students that a large number of ladies - almost 30% including the CEO - are female. Since the batch boasts of 40% girl students this insight was particularly appealing. MET Trustee Mr. Pankaj Bhujbal was kind enough to grace the occasion.

Subsequent to inaugural session, eleven more session addressed by specialists in the field of finance, marketing, human resources, logistics, GST were conducted. Last session on every day was conducted by Alumni from various organisations, who had specialized in Operations, Marketing, Finance, HR and IT. Students got an insight into their life at MET, the leading B-school in India they joined in.

In order to give MBA students a great career start MET has devised platforms so that these aspiring managers are a step ahead of their counterparts and well prepared for a successful corporate career. PGDM students at MET were sensitised for placements.

On one hand CV building, analytical /qualitative tests and GD (Group Discussion) were organised. All day sessions were held by Mr. Rahul Lodha, General Manager - Lodha for the second year PGDM students across specialisations. Mr. Lodha is himself a top ranker in written, GD/PI tests given by DTE (Maharashtra) for admissions to MMS in Jamanalal Bajaj Institute of Management. Students appreciated his session.
