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.

UG was good but PG has destroyed everything in this college.
Placements: Yes, almost 8/10 students got placements and many corporate and banking offices were highly put forth by the human resource head staff to get offer letters. We can see many BOP sectors and front office job offers and some even got IT sector jobs. Even we got some media-related placement houses.
Infrastructure: Most of the classrooms were in repair condition. The library has some new books now. But when I was in my first year of UG, there were very old books available. No Wi-Fi and hostel are there. Infrastructure would be very bad. The canteen was too hygienic. There is not much food or snack to eat.
Faculty: Yes, UG staff were good. In PG (2nd year 2024), the HOD now was newly appointed; she was not fair. Brought very bad internship offers. And she's not fair in bringing opportunities to us. Also some staff are there, who I say are not that qualified in way of taking class and language was not good.
Other: I would say I came in with good confidence and am studying still with a low confidence level due to language issues. They provided poor education and poor language classes.

Infrastructure: Our college has all the facilities, and the infrastructure was very good.

Not so satisfied with the campus facilities.
Placements: As a defense student, there is no information available about campus placements. We are required to seek job opportunities independently. Among students from other departments, less than 75% secured placements either through on-campus or off-campus avenues. The average offered salary ranged between 2-3 LPA, with the highest salary being 5 LPA. Notably, no students secured internships within our college.
Infrastructure: The college does not provide any Wi-Fi facility for students, and there are only a few labs available for certain departments. However, the classrooms are considered to be good compared to other facilities. Additionally, the college has a library with a vast collection of books. The hostel is average, but the food provided for hostel students is good. Moreover, the college has access to local medical facilities.
Faculty: The teachers at my college are highly qualified and supportive of the students. They possess extensive knowledge, and the quality of teaching is commendable. Although the course curriculum may not be highly relevant, the teachers actively assist students in becoming industry-ready. While the semester exams are not excessively challenging, students are expected to grasp some fundamental concepts. The pass percentage typically hovers around 35% of the total marks.
