Madras Christian College - [MCC], Chennai

One of my friends studied at SJC College Trichy. He completed his Post Graduation in Botany from this college. He is still proud of his time as a student at SJC. Here are some facts about the college you should know.

• In the entire state of Tamil Nadu, there were just five colleges that offered a PG course in Botany. Among these colleges, SJC college was the first to offer a postgraduate course in Botany. 
• The facilities and resources made available to the students were extraordinary. 
• The PG department had an exclusively specialized Botany library, in addition to the extraordinarily well-equipped College Central Library. 
• The laboratories were well-equipped and the campus had a huge Herbarium with a fantastic collection of plants. 
• The college's admissions procedure was open and transparent, with just merit as a criterion. 
• They have such excellent professors. They supervised every student in addition to teaching the course curriculum. 
• There were no on-campus recruitments. Despite this, every student who passed was offered a job. 

Most of my friend’s classmates became teachers, and they are doing well. The students absorbed not only knowledge but also values. He still recalls and adores his professors because he feels he owes them a debt of gratitude. 

There is not much difference when we talk about the course and the subjects but the environment is significantly different for both. Here are some things that you should know about the institutes. 

Freedom- MCC offers a lot of freedom to its students in the way they dress and express themselves as compared to Loyola. Even for attendance, it is not as strict as Loyola. Loyola asks its students to pay for condonation and then sit for an exam. 

Ragging- It is still very much prevalent at MCC and sometimes it crosses the healthy limit as well. On the other hand, ragging is very rare at Loyola.

Drug scene- MCC is infamous for its drug-related incidents. While enrolling their children, parents are quite worried about this. On the other hand, Loyola does not have such a problem.

Campus- Both the campuses are extremely beautiful with an amazing experience of studying in the college.

College life- When it comes to cultural and extracurricular activities, MCC is more active as compared to Loyola. They conduct a lot of fests and different events which offer its students a lot of opportunities.

Here is a brief overview of the institutes. 

Therefore, it depends completely on what you want out of your college. If you want a good college life then you should opt for MCC. But if you want good academics then you should opt for Loyola. MCC has a diversified culture whereas Loyola has students mostly from Chennai.
