What Students Say

Likes

The faculty at the college are really friendly and also well experienced in their field, they encouraged students to approach them at anytime they feel difficulties with their studies or even with personal issues they are always present to help them
The class environment is really nice and peaceful
Mcc also has an enormous ground for sports and other activities

Dislikes

Since the campus is massive walking around could get quite tiring
The checking in and out of gates can get frustrating at times
Two wheelers are not allowed inside campus without prior permission

Course Curriculum Overview

Since I took up literature I'll say the curriculum met all the needs adiquately it wasn't over the top nor was it insufficient. They gradually teach you the things you might need in your pg as well almost like a warm up

Class Size: 58Course Fees: INR 11000 per year

Fees and Financial Aid

The tution fee for a year is 20 k the first year and it gradually decreases to 8k by the final year .I had to pay 45 k for the hostel and 5 k as caution deposit. There were no additional charges during the course of my education

Campus Life

Mcc has a bunch of cultural fest and one of the biggest one's is DEEPWOODS and halls of the campus have their own event like utsav, moonshadow, Octavia, Dionysia, galarompics and atara. These a mix of cultural, sports and theatre events

Hostel Facilities

The men's hall each resident gets a single room which is quite big and comfortable. They do not provide AC facilities to the students. In women's hall they reside in a three share room and the seniors or 3 or 5 years get single rooms in Martin hall

Hostel Fee: INR 45000 per year

Admission

I applied for Bishop Heber, WCC and Stella Maris and i got in in wcc and Bishop Heber but i decided to go with mcc for it's years of legacy and quality education it is known for and my expectations were satisfied

Faculty

The faculty to study ratio is about 20:80. The faculties are often approachable not just for educational purposes but also for your personal issues . I had a professor who helped me a lot in guiding me to my higher education

Faculty & Academic Excellence

Likes

The faculty members are supportive and explain concepts clearly.
The campus is clean, well-maintained, and has good infrastructure.
The college encourages participation in cultural events and skill development activities.

Dislikes

Placement opportunities could be improved by inviting more companies.
More practical sessions and industry exposure would benefit students.
The college can organize more technical and cultural events.

Course Curriculum Overview:

The course curriculum is well-structured and covers both theoretical and practical aspects. It provides a strong foundation for higher studies and career opportunities. Internal assessments and semester exams are conducted regularly, with a fair marking system. More industry exposure, internships, and skill-based training would further enhance students' learning experience.

My sweet college days!!

Likes

College environment was very neat and clean always.
The birds they kept at the front side campus were so pleasant and calm
Campus was large in size and comfortable

Dislikes

College management is very strict in handling students
College management allot less money as prize money for academic winners
Students should get pass even for 2 minutes late entry

Course Curriculum Overview:

The department of English not only offers good education but also so many values to lead our life. Faculties were so friendly in clearing students' doubts. There was personality development course to improve students' personality. Students had to choose any other subjects other than they are studying for sbi course. Due to this students learn about other subjects too.

BA Economics hons MSE review

Likes

The rigour of the course is very intense. The syllabus which is followed here is intense and rigorous. Its unique compared to the syllabus offered in other colleges of India.
Staff lore is very good in MSE. Most of the staffs encourage doubts and are also willing to have conversations with you. Faculties are knowledgeable and they know there stuff very well. They take much interests if you reach out to them through mail.
They provide a lot of guest lectures which gives us a lot of exposure and we get to know how economics works in the real life policy making sectors.

Dislikes

Theres no opportunities for sports and extra curricular activities. They don’t conduct any events rather it is done by putting our own money and by the efforts of the students only.
The campus is very small, and there are no proper areas for sports etc and also the canteen is very bad. It is super minimal.
If you want social life then this college is not the place, only the studious one survive here. Well you can still make friends here but then the college ‘itself’ does not provide any social life

Course Curriculum Overview:

Well the course provides almost everything which is needed and available. This is not a normal economics course as it involves statistics,python, core math and also dives into data science. This allows the students to explore various subjects and can choose which is their best fileld. The curriculum overall is very rigorous and intense but you can crack it if you study regularly. About the frequencies of the examinations, we have 2 internal examinations and 1 end semester examination. I can guarantee that this course is super rigorous but im not sure if i would necessarily say that the course is "practical" and it helps us in the real word. I cannot comment on the practicality of the courses. The exams are not super difficult and its moderate. Getting more than 90% can be challenging although clearing the paper won't be an impossible task.

The reviews being good with high ranking and college environment with enthused challenges tasks , competition with the MCC Traditions disciplines help me to earn the stress management . I had applied for many colleges in south as per the rank and got selected in WCC and Stella Maris and eventually got selected but during the pandemic time being online classroom i couldn't decide much and seeing its better review than others help me to choose this college...Read More

A view on recent days MCC

First there is no test admission it purely based on your cut off mark and first come first serve. The factors that made me choose Madras Christian College were it's tradition and culture, in mcc we have rich culture and traditions which took places throughout the year, I get to know about this from my brother. The next thing is MCC known for it's good standing in rank throughout India so it's a go for me. Note this is only applicable for under graduate...Read More
