Abstract
Student evaluations of teaching effectiveness (SETE) have been extensively studied in the literature with the central debates revolving
around the issues of validity and reliability of the instruments used. Scant attention however has been paid in this literature to student perceptions and views of SETEs and their usefulness. This paper, presents the
preliminary results from a survey of MBA students from two Indian business schools where (anonymous) student evaluations of
teachers are mandatory after course completion, and where they are also used as one of the key determinants for faculty promotion and tenure decisions. Most students felt that since these SETEs are not taken very seriously by them their reliability are
questionable.
