Q:   How is the mess food at MKUDDE, Madurai?
A:

As you know that Madurai Kamaraj University is a Statutory University, and has been reaccredited by NAAC with grade A. Ofcourse you might be having high expectation from this university then, also all of these NAAC with grade A universities spend lavishly on their infrastructure.

So as food is most important thing that comes in the mind of a student when he/she wants to live there in hostels so yes these A graded universities have same kind of food like others, Hygene is good, also proper diet chart is foowed, daily the dishes or food items change according to days of the week.

They may include proper Thaali food items like curd, salad, sabji, daal, rice, etc. But yes when it comes to taste none can beat home food.

So it depends first of all on your taste buds, secondly I would say the food is not bad and has good variety.

Good faculty, placement, and infrastructure.

Faculty: The teachers in my department are highly qualified and have the best teaching style in an understandable way. They have great knowledge; some of them are personal who completed CAs and all. The course makes students ready to face the work environment with the best knowledge.

The college is totally not worth joining, and does not have placements. Choose the college wisely.

Faculty: Teaching quality depends on lecturers. Some faculty members aren't really knowledgeable enough to teach students. The course curriculum is not at all relevant. They make students industry-ready. Semester exams are not very hard, but some exams are hard. The pass percentage is pretty good.

This career is good for my future.

Faculty: Teachers are well qualified and they also have to study more and more before they take classes. They will understand the students mindset and at last they will teach. Average students will say that the semester question paper is tough but the toppers will not say that question paper is tough but 1 or 2 subjects will be tough in the semester.

Simply, my career is good for me.

Faculty: Some exams may be difficult because weaker students can't study all the units. Those who score above 85% can easily attend the semester exams. But they may struggle to get higher marks due to tough questions. Not all subjects have tough questions, but one or two may be difficult.

Absolutely satisfied with the curriculum, education, faculty, and overall experience.

Faculty: Teachers are very friendly in our department. The sister and other president heads are a bit more strict and can't even handle the stress sometimes. They never failed to teach with their experience and expertise. Our curriculum is based on the government syllabus and is relevant to the course. Although semester exams are tricky, we've been trained to tackle them by the internal exam difficulties. We plan according to how difficult the internal exams are; the pass percentage is 40%.

Don't join in the NMS Sermathai Vasan College for Women.

Faculty: Most of the faculty members are old students of the college. They do not teach well. Mostly, they do not teach anything. They give a seminar for all the students, and at the end of the semester they teach 5 chapters in a single class. Just say the topics from the lessons and leave.
