Madras Christian College: a colorful experience .
Placements: According to the seniors, the placement solely depends on your merit, but again, the college has enough exposure for each course, so it's easy for placements and applying. The college is ranked in the top 10, and the companies do prioritize the college, and they even conduct internship fairs for students to apply.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure is amazing and up to par, the college being amongst the jungle, it just blends in, making the ambience of the infrastructure better; the washrooms/toilets are great and well maintained, and there is a lounge specially and only for female students. The canteen is good too; even the library is amazing. It has multiple research sections for students.
Faculty: The faculty members are amazing and very friendly; they don't treat a student like an outsider. The curriculum for journalists is based on real-life cases and situations, and the exams are difficult and different based on the very curriculum. There are 3 internals and one final examination in a semester. Out of 3, the best 2 are taken and accumulated with the final examination.

Overall, the college is good in terms of academics.
Placements: On-campus placements for journalism students are not that regular and often. Few companies like Reuters do come for recruiting graduates, but the students don't turn up for interviews. Apart from on-campus placements, most of the students go for jobs and works of their own choice. Few go for freelancing, few go for post graduation etc. So, in terms of campus placements for journalism students, the college is not very good. But, a compulsory internship has to be done for 60 days during the 6th semester. Even though there is no on-campus placements, students from MCC are working with big and renowned companies like Reuters, The Hindu, India Today, CNN etc.
Infrastructure: When it comes to infrastructure and environment, Madras Christian College is one of the best not only in Chennai but also in entire South India. The college is almost 200 years old, built during the British era. The old high vintage buildings, the long corridors, greenery and the whole campus are thrilling and worth having a walk. The whole campus is spread over 365 acres and is known for its flora and fauna, especially deers and peacocks. The campus has different labs, canteens, lounge etc.
Faculty: MCC is one of the best colleges for Arts in entire India. There are separate faculty members for different departments. Most of them are very friendly and understanding. The department of journalism has 5 faculty members, and they are very strict when it comes to assignments and submissions. Overall, we get to learn a lot. This department has taught me how to keep patience in the worst situations.
Other: Deepwoods is the greatest and most awaited cultural fest conducted every year in February. Students from various colleges come and take part in this. This is the best time to be spent and enjoy in MCC.

Excellent infrastructure and highly recommended college.
Placements: Students placed in my course is higher than I thought, many students got placed and had the chance to be placed in top companies. About 85%of students got placements, many students got placed as an Editor, in Newsroom and also as a Anchor, Interviewer, It was worth to study the course, as this course involves searching, which was really fun and helped me gain more knowledge.
Infrastructure: The hostel facilities are available and the food quality, canteen, medical facilities everything is very good. Sports and games are also conducted in a high range, they do have a wide range of books in library and the classrooms are also big. Our college provides Wi-Fi for students, faculty members and all the other staff in the campus. They do have Wi-Fi in Library, classrooms, computer labs.
Faculty: The teaching is overall good as the faculty members are highly experienced, and they also help the students in extracurricular activities. The curriculum is also related to the course and the exams are in semester pattern and pass percentage is above 90%. The curriculum seems more theoretical and if you want to be a specialist in journalism, you can consider taking B.J.
Other: The best thing in MCC is the fest, cultural programs and extracurricular activities. We can enjoy the college life throughout the entire course.
