विद्येविना मती गेली मतीविना नीती गेली |
नीतीविना गती गेली | गतीविना वित्त गेले ||
वित्ताविना शुद्र खचले | इतके अनर्थ एका अविद्येने केले ||
- महात्मा ज्योतिबा फुले
Lack of knowledge leads to indiscretion;
Indiscretion leads to lack of ethics.
Lack of ethics leads to absence of direction and momentum;
Absence of direction and momentum result in bankruptcy.
Such is the havoc caused by the lack of knowledge.

Our Faith
न चौर हार्यम् नच राज हार्यम् |
न भातृभाज्यम् नच भारकारी ||
व्यये कृते वर्धते एव नित्यम् |
विद्याधनं सर्वधन प्रधानम् ||
Knowledge can neither be stolen by a thief,
nor snatched by a king.
It is indivisible unlike ancestral property,
it never burdens the bearer,
it multiplies manifold when offered to others.
Knowledge is the supreme form of wealth.
Our Vision
To shape professionals, to conquer the present and future challenges to the socio-economic fabric of our society, by institutionalising search, development, research and dissemination of relevant knowledge through structured learning systems.
Our Mission
To evolve, develop and deliver dynamic learning systems to equip professionals with conscience and commitment to excellence and courage to face business challenges.
Future Plans
The MET League of Colleges seeks to develop and deliver Indian ethos in education. The learnings here are therefore enriched with an induction and competency development programme. These are offered by interactive and participative exchanges with eminent personalities, experts, gurus and practitioners offering an insight into the rich heritage of Indian culture and practices of ethical disciplines to deliver the Indian value system to the professionals of tomorrow. Therefore there are ongoing programmes in Yoga and meditation across MET. A programme aimed at offering 'earn and learn' opportunities to students is also being evolved and pilots will be soon operational in the coming semester.
