July 20, 2026 /Posted byPrajwal EW / 0

MET Institute of PGDM has received MBA equivalence from the Association of Indian Universities (AIU) for its two-year full-time Post Graduate Diploma in Management (PGDM) programme, enabling graduates to access academic and career opportunities available to MBA degree holders.

The AIU recognition makes graduates eligible to apply for doctoral programmes in India and overseas, as well as positions in government organisations, public sector undertakings (PSUs) and regulatory bodies where an MBA or equivalent qualification is required.

MET said the equivalence also addresses long-standing concerns over the recognition of PGDM qualifications for higher education and public sector recruitment, while improving the qualification’s acceptance for international admissions.

Commenting on the development, Pankaj Bhujbal, Trustee, MET, said the recognition would allow graduates to pursue careers in corporate leadership, entrepreneurship, research, public policy and higher education without limitations.

The two-year full-time PGDM programme is approved by the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE), recognised by the Directorate of Technical Education (DTE), accredited by the National Board of Accreditation (NBA), and now holds AIU MBA equivalence. The programme includes industry partnerships, internships, live projects and corporate interactions.

According to the institute, the programme has recorded a highest placement package of ₹20 lakh per annum while also supporting graduates pursuing entrepreneurial ventures.

“If Sonam Wangchuk’s fast results only in a ministerial reshuffle, India will have reduced an extraordinary act of conviction to an ordinary political outcome. More important than replacing a Minister is building an education system worthy of our children. India has expanded access to education but missed out on excellence. As long as examinations reward memory, schools will teach memory; if they reward thinking, schools will cultivate thinkers. We need to dismantle the coaching culture, build the world’s best teachers, restore trust in government schools, and ensure educational reform outlives electoral cycles. Education must become India’s first genuinely bipartisan national mission. If this sacrifice awakens the nation to that purpose, history will remember it as the beginning of an education renaissance.”

"Education is the foundation upon which a democratic republic builds its future. B R Ambedkar's call to 'Educate, Agitate, Organise' remains a roadmap for an informed and egalitarian society. Over the past 12 years, the Modi government's education policy has been driven by the communalisation, commercialisation and centralisation of education, resulting in a weakening of public education and a crisis in examinations, recruitment and employment. The Ministry of Education has failed to restore confidence, while the National Testing Agency has become associated with repeated controversies, technical failures and paper leak allegations. Behind every cancelled examination lies an enormous human cost, with years of preparation and family sacrifices disappearing overnight. Dharmendra Pradhan bears ministerial responsibility for the repeated breakdown of India's examination system. The struggle is larger than one minister or one government; it is about defending education as a public good, a constitutional right and a means of nation-building rather than ideological control."

- D. Raja, The Indian Express, (21/7)
