If you are a chemistry lover, You will love more at SMC

B.Sc Chemistry was the eligibility of my post-graduation. The admission is undertaken by the University of Kerala through online allotments. For that, we should apply online. There is a small fee for that. We can pay it through online transactions. I have 87.44% during my B.Sc, So I got merit admission. This college was my first option because I knew about this college and its efficient faculties and infrastructure at the department. There were government fees of 6000/- at the time of admission. I had a KPCR fee concession, So got the amount returned after 1 yr. The bad thing I have looked at there is, they receive 5000/- as a college development fund during admission. I strongly oppose that thing, because as a poor family member like me, it was very difficult to pay 5000 over the basic government fees.

I am a chemistry lover that is why I am choosing this course to become a chemist. There are 8 faculties in the department and 120 students in B.Sc and M.Sc section in chemistry. 5 of the 8 have Ph.D. and 2 have post-doctorate. The remaining 3 are doing their Ph.D. The teaching at the M.Sc level was really different and interesting. They gave the training to mold us as the master of chemistry by self preparations and practice. We are the teachers of our class. We refer to textbooks at libraries (3 libraries. Main, department, research lab). The most difficult portions were taken by teachers in a high-tech way. The teachers arrange international and national seminars. Exams were conducted by universities. That was really easy for us because our department faculties also conduct unit tests and 2 level model exams before semester exams. And provide a minimum of 2 weeks of study leave before exams.

I have done my summer internship at the University of Kerala, Karyavattom campus. Similarly, my friend did their works at Delhi university, Kannur university. Our seniors did theirs at NITs, CUSAT, IISERs, NIIST, etc. My project was " Case study on Mg- Carbon-based Salt Water Fuel cell ".

We have a KPCR fees concession. we get a return of the payable amount fully. The scholarship was given by the government. They inform us of all the details to apply. I got a Suvarna jubilee merit scholarship of 20000/- (10000 per annum). There is financial assistance for the semester toppers.

There are annual cultural and sports meets. They are usually conducted from January - March time. We have a very nice library. They digitally and conventionally provide journals and books to refer to. The library is very well maintained and books are very nicely arranged. The use of the library is very easy and comfortable. They have huge collections. The college is well known for sports. Our students regularly won national, state, and inter-university level competitions. National Service Scheme functioned at the campus. But it was for undergraduates. Not for postgraduates like me. The unit got university and state awards
