“To accept and adapt to Change is Progression”

At MET Asian Management Development Centre (MET AMDC) our focus is to identify industry requirements and create professionals who are corporate–ready. Our course outline is therefore student-centric that primes students in such a way that they can be absorbed immediately by the industry in any field that they choose to be in. Being autonomous, AMDC is not restricted by frameworks and limitations of change. We possess dynamism of flexibility that helps us to accept and adapt to changes in the industry and create a curriculum that suits the need of the hour.

We have created and introduced new and novel subjects with the help of our alumni and corporates from the industry. We have introduced 'Digital Banking' as a subject where the contents are created and validated by Bank managers. Very recently, we have curated and added 'Real Estate' as a subject for semester III. The contents are created approved and validated by industry professionals. The students benefit from what is latest. They study subjects that are contemporary, futuristic and global.

Today, all our students are trained in IT skills. They start from Basics, move to Advanced Excel and then to Python. Those who opt for Business Analytics stream are trained in AI, Machine Learning, SQL, R, Visualization, Power Bi, etc. Every Business Analytics student is engaged in Capstone Projects. We have introduced subjects in Business Analytics for every specialization viz. Marketing Analytics, HR Analytics and Finance Analytics.

While we 'Differentiate' from other management programs in many ways, we offer some very unique streams of Specializations too. AMDC is the Only institute that offers Dual Specialization in Management and Insurance, we have an MOU with the Chartered Insurance Institute (CII) London. We facilitate in creating ACIIs – a global recognition. The insurance subjects are taught by qualified professionals of the sunrise Insurance Industry while syllabus, exams and certifications are done by CII London.

We also offer Global MBA (UAE) and UMBA (Netherlands / Bulgaria) too. Students can both spend six months or one year at MET AMDC and then continue their specializations in UAE or Europe. Certifications are both given from MET AMDC as well as the foreign University. Europe also offers paid internships to students studying there. We have also signed an MOU with London Institute of Banking & Finance for certification courses. Most of the subjects are taught by industry experts who share their real-life rich corporate experiences with the students. They bring their practical expertise into the classroom. Knowledge is not restricted to books alone. The students are involved in projects and assignments that engage them in practical application of learnings. Our USP is our strong collaboration with the industry. Every year, the students get an opportunity to participate in Live Projects given by the industry.

We believe in Holistic Development of the personality. Academics alone cannot make smart individuals. Hence, our curriculum encompasses soft skills, current affairs, aptitude testing and Life Management skills. Throughout the year students are engaged in quasi-academic and co-curricular activities. Students participate in MET Combat, a debating-cum-presentation contest, Business Quiz, Case Study competitions, Hackathons, etc. They attend workshops, seminars and guest lectures arranged specially for them on a regular basis. Rural expeditions, Industrial visits and the Outbound Management training are key highlights of our course.

MET can boast of state of art infrastructure and unparalleled facilities offered to students. We have an Incubation Centre for innovative ideas, NSE Cogencis Finance lab for firsthand experience with real-time data and plentiful of cultural activities where students get an opportunity to showcase their talents. Students are also sensitized towards social issues and they participate in NGO activities and social outreach programs.

Our Alumni network is not only large and spread across nations but it is well-knitted and very strong. We often invite them as faculty, mentors, guest speakers as well as for conducting workshops, syllabus upgrading and for offering placements. Recently, we opened our Alumni Dubai Chapter and propose to start one in Canada soon. Our Alumni today hold top positions in eminent companies across the globe. They are our sense of pride and achievement.

Our Assessment Centre profiles each student. We then focus on closing the gap between proficiencies that require the honing of their individual knowledge and skills to suit their unique requirements and aspirations. We aim not only at academic achievements but believe in uplifting the all-round development of personality. We wish to develop our students into industry influencers and future business leaders of tomorrow.

As we forge ahead, we are eager to venture into unchartered territories, carrying forward AMDC's legacy of being at the forefront of futuristic application-based and industry-oriented curriculum, in providing to our students an enabling environment for personal and professional growth and paving the way for excellent placements and Dream jobs.
