Average course, unless you are extremely proactive. Placements for microbiology are below average.

Faculty: Some teachers know what they are talking about and can actually be of help to you. However, some can only read from a PDF or textbook verbatim and do not put in the effort to actually teach. The curriculum is pretty relevant, but I think it is too general. There are many things that we cannot study in detail because there are too many different topics. The exams are always hard. Teachers say that certain topics will come up in the exam. But the question setter often includes a 20-mark question o...

Honest review of Madras Christian College.

Faculty: Faculty and teaching staff of my department are really nice. They are supportive and highly knowledgeable. They are experienced in their fields. The non-teaching staff do not have good manners when speaking to students. They keep students under pressure during the admission process and even afterward. The curriculum is said to be updated, but it feels old. Exams include 3 ICAs and one end-of-semester exam. The second ICA is a creative test, which can become hectic at times.

Dissatisfied with the crowd.

Madras Christian College and its majestic legacy.

Faculty: Teachers are all well-trained here. They are always helpful, as you can reach out to them anytime inside or outside the campus. The course curriculum is relevant and they encourage participation in many competitions, workshops, and leadership activities which make our curriculum more interesting. The exams are little difficult but they will make you learn more easily and you will get more than 70 percent like a piece of cake.

I wouldn't say it's a bad college. But I'm satisfied.

Faculty: Teaching quality is below average. Do not expect anything academically because we have to learn on our own as there's not much to study because we have more practical than theoretical. Semester exams are not that difficult as 99 percent of students pass in my department.
