Dr. M.G.R. Educational and Research Institute Chennai Faculty

The faculty at the college have a mixed reputation, with a significant number holding postgraduate and doctoral degrees. They are generally approachable and supportive, aiding students in both academic and extracurricular activities. The faculty-to-student ratio varies, with some departments experiencing a 1:80 ratio, while others are more balanced. There are issues related to attendance fines, with fines ranging from INR 500 to INR 5000 depending on attendance percentage, which has caused concern among students.

The exam structure includes multiple internal assessments such as CAT exams, pre-university exams, and the final university exam. Faculty members provide access through various communication channels and are involved in interdisciplinary teaching. Some faculty members are noted for their dedication and willingness to assist students beyond regular hours, while a few are criticized for lack of teaching effectiveness. Overall, the faculty's commitment is appreciated, but there are areas needing improvement, particularly in teaching quality and managing student relations.
