Madras School of Social Work Chennai Reviews on Placements, Faculty and Facilities

Unfortunately, the curriculum of psychology across India can be rather outdated and this is no fault of the institute. The faculty makes sure to go above and beyond to teach the topics at hand. And they do a good job at it. The hands on /practical material is taught well and many references are made available to the students with ease. The timing of the exams sometimes clashes with cultural events which can be a bit problematic.

The curriculum focuses on different subjects under psychology, which keeps changing every semester, making the coursework diverse and interesting. This also helps in choosing specialisation fields for further studies as the student gets exposure into each subfield of psychology. The classes are usually about 40-50 minutes, which is appropriate as per usual attention span. Exams are in the form of 2 internal assessments, each carrying 25 marks. 2 other internal assignments (1 carrying 10 and the other 15 marks) are conducted. End semester exam is a 100 mark paper, converted to 50. Exams are evenly spaced and can easily be aced if the student is internally well motivated.

The management is well organised at the lower level while it takes a while for any information to pass to the higher level in order to get any work done. Apart from that, the functioning of the college is very satisfactory. This is one of the colleges that avoids ragging and replaced it with more fun with just five hours of college this is one another wonderful experience in life.
