Ques. How does the PGDM selection process at MET differ from a regular MBA entrance?

Ans. Unlike MBA programmes that select entirely on entrance exam percentile, the MET PGDM selection process evaluates candidates across four parameters: entrance exam score (MAH-MBA-CET, CAT, XAT, or equivalents), academic performance, a Personality Factors Test, and a Video Statement of Purpose followed by a Personal Interview. This multi-dimensional evaluation allows candidates with non-conventional profiles or work experience to be considered even without top-percentile scores.
