It is an excellent college in India.
Placements: Our college does not provide placements for UG courses. All PG courses have great placements in many leading companies. The salary package offered is 12 LPA. Top recruiting companies like SOS, etc., visit our campus. The top role offered is HR.
Infrastructure: Our college and hostel provide excellent facilities. A playground is available where students can play volleyball. An indoor sports room is available. Wi-Fi is available throughout the campus and hostel. A library is available. Computer labs are open from 8 AM to 7 PM. Our college provides average infrastructure. First aid boxes are available. A canteen and a mess are available. The mess serves food three times a day.
Faculty: Our teachers are well-qualified and helpful. The teaching quality is excellent. Non-Tamil students might find it difficult to adapt to a few staff members who teach in Tamil. The course curriculum is relevant. It prepares you to be a professional social worker. The syllabus is set after proper planning and is updated every few years based on requirements. Semester exams are average, with both theoretical and practical questions. If someone is well versed in the basics, they have a high chance of excelling in the practical question. The pass percentage is 40%.
Other: I chose this course because of my interest in it. Social work not only helps you to work but also helps you to empower and liberate society. The best thing about this course is the field work and soft skill sessions, which help you grow as a person. Our college organises two events, such as DejaVu and Sports Day. Our college celebrates many festivals like Pongal, Onam, Ethnic Day, etc.

Review of Madras School of Social Work.
Placements: I studied medical and psychiatry specialisation, in which I get any campus for my specialisation, not even one. I was very disappointed with the response I got from the placement coordinator. You can get placed in the top companies with very good packages.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure is fair. The main highlight of the infrastructure is the library, where you can find very good resources for all courses. The only negative I can say is the Wi-Fi is not so good. Other than that, I am satisfied with everything else.
Faculty: Being a medical and psychiatric social work student, after getting into the job, I had a very strong feeling that my curriculum was not up to the standards of today's practice. Compared to what I learned in my 7 months of the job, I have just learned hardly 25% through my college.
Other: The best about MPSW is the work nature and the level of growth you will acquire. Psychiatry is the best branch in which you can learn more about humans everyday. The one beautiful thing about my college is the culture among the students and friendly faculty. Compared to many colleges, MSSW's faculty members are really friendly and approachable.
