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.

Placements and infrastructure here are absolutely satisfactory.

Faculty: Teachers were very supportive, and sometimes they talked very frankly to the students. The teaching quality was also great because they were all very intelligent and had a Master's degree. The course curriculum was ready and relevant to government policies. Semester exams were moderate. Also, the students never felt overburdened by the exams and assignments.

A decent college for basics but needs better practical training & placements.

Faculty: Teachers at the University of Madras are generally qualified and knowledgeable. They are helpful, but teaching quality depends on the affiliated college. Some colleges focus more on theory than practical learning. The BCA curriculum gives a basic foundation in programming and IT subjects. However, it is not fully industry-ready, so extra skills are needed. Semester exams are moderate and easy to pass with regular study. The pass percentage is usually high, around 80-90%.

I am absolutely dissatisfied with the faculty members.

Faculty: We, students and the faculty members, are always on opposite poles. Faculty members are not very friendly. They treat us like we are still high school students, which really frustrates us. Their teaching techniques are bad. Teachers used AI tools to teach us, which might be good to hear, but they didn't explain anything. They'll just come, add a prompt, write it on the board, and leave. It is quite hard for students to even understand the basics.

Overall, it's the best university for M.A. in economics course.

Faculty: The faculty group was strong because all of the faculty hold PhDs. The science and management faculty members were among the best. The intriguing part was that the majority of them live locally, making it easier to contact them. All teachers were gladly cooperative.
