What Students Say

Likes

Experience and expertise of professors .
Lab facilities and practical classes, handled really well by members of the field.

Dislikes

Not much really. The syllabus is vast and some professors are not too keen on teaching while some are. Consistency lacks in that front

Course Curriculum Overview

Course curriculum is up to date and covers almost all the bases of microbiology. Curriculum is structured to include project works and innovative, subject related information. Further studies, if desired, can be opted from any and various specializations regarding Microbiology and biotechnology.

Class Size: 50Course Fees: INR 70000 per year

Fees and Financial Aid

Fees is not increasing. Odd sem fees is 44500 while even sem fees is around 23000. So in total around 70000 for a year for 3 years each. Scholarship opportunities are not available to all but for SC STs and other criteria is considered

Campus Life

Annually, the college union society (CUS) conducts a program called DEEPWOODS, consisting of cultural, formal, informal events and event celebrity performances and visits. Each department also conduct their own subject-themed program once a year and give the event a funky name. The college is library is amazing and has a vast number of resources both online and hard copies. Sports activities are conducted regularly, inter department competitions and other events that actively engaged students in sports.

Admission

From several sources and websites scattered across the internet, I came to a conclusion that MCC offers a great BSc Microbiology program. I did apply to a bunch of other colleges though and I did get a seat in a few of them but chose MCC because of its ambience and the great details I learnt about the program. Admission process is very simple, browse the net for our college website, and fill out an application form answering all relevant details.

Faculty

It depends on the faculty tbh. Course is roughly 3 years with 6 semesters. The course covers vast areas that are of industrial, environmental and medical significance. Value education and personality development courses are useful in the first 2 years. In the third year, general elective course is offered. Faculties are very approachable and appreciate students who are genuinely interested and passionate about research. Exams are pretty difficult for students coming from CBSE background. Takes time to adapt but requires genuine interest and hard work.

Night Life

Hostel gyms are amazing despite only being allocated a small area. Late night activities are often not permitted for hostelers. But within the college, I've heard that walking around for a while, is a serene experience. Hangout places typically include student centre or the canteen and gutters running along the college, where the students often sit and have a chat. There's a tea stall nearby which is also famous among students.

Nit Trichy B.Sc. B.ed. student review

Likes

girls to boys ratio is 1:1 is we consider all three branches with some courses with more male while other having for female.more or less the ratio is near 1:1
the most important thing for you is there is close to zero discrimination for you , whether you want to join any club or perform anything you are equivalent to students with others bachelor degree
octagon and library are the two things which are good as library is considered the biggest library among all nit's while octagon having 800 computers for students.NSO ground is also well maintained with the beautiful mig fighter jet to take cool phot

Dislikes

for first years hostel are well maintained if compared with others but don't expect much from hostel atlast this is a government college.in first year 3 to 4 person sharing room are there which was build to carry 2 person.
Quant and entrepreneur thing is not there as you might expect by seeing the nirf 9 ranking but it is not zero .they are growing clubs like profNITT and Sigma are young and they could do better
curfew timing for girls are 9 or 9:30 pm i guess be it any year. for boys ,only freshers have curfew with timing 9:30 pm.other than that any student can't step outside the college after 10 pm without the sign out form.

Course Curriculum Overview:

I choose this course as maths is the mother of all science and quite related to other fields so it opens a lot of door for me like mba ,mtech ,phd or any other things. this course is specifically designed for becoming teachers so keep that in mind before taking this course as they are not flexible in changing curriculum or adding something for the sake of students as of now. also you will be having more working days compared to other courses with 80 percent mandatory attendance.after first sem you will get 1 week holiday and after 2nd sem you will get 50.days holiday and after first year you can expect 20 days holiday for winters and 50 days holiday for summers. you will get a lot of time to study for exams. before ct 1 you can expect 2 months and then atleast a month for ct 2 and endsems. cons are that you don't have the right to choose minor or electives like btech students.you have to compulsory study all three science .i.e. maths , physics, chemistry.

HIMT COLLEGE REVIEW

Likes

The faculties are very well experienced and there are captains who stay in the campus itself, so if there’s something we need they will be available all the time
The facilitieslike labs, ship in campus, DB tank facilities etc are top notch
The classrooms are fully air conditioned. There’s smart board. Overall everything is really good and also neat and clean

Dislikes

Galley food can improve a little and canteen is comparatively small for such a big campus
They are not conducting intra- college events and inter-college events is very less

Placement Experience:

Placements are really good in HIMT. I got placed in 1st year itself in MOLMI. All faculties try their best to prepare us for the placements and it shows in the placement interview also. Usually companies come for placements from 2nd year but there are some companies who want to take girl cadets 1st year itself. MOLMI, MOLTA etc came to our college for placements. After completion of the course, company will call for induction and accordingly they will call for joining the ship. For finishing the cadet ship , we have finish 12 months of sea time. After that a lot courses has to be done for appearing in 2 nd mates exam.

THE IDEAL COLLEGE LIFE!

Likes

The opportunities to meet new people and interact with a whole new circle of people by Club Activities as there are quite a lot of clubs according to the student's interest.
Many places to showcase our singing and dancing talent once we join the club or take part in any of the department events.
They have multiple labs for a single department so that the students get a lot of hands on training for coding and as well as hardware.

Dislikes

4:3 Ratio of Girls to Boys in my class and i hope it's the same for all the departments as well.
The college timing can go from 8:30 AM to 5:10PM.
The 75% attendance is kind of doable and maintainable to an extent.

Placement Experience:

about 70 to 80 percent of the students get placed afdter the colleg and the ones not placed also gets placed after the college with high network and communication from other contacts within the college, ZOHO Corp does take placements and i am preparing for my CAT exams as i am planning for My highers at IIM, 5th semester is when the students become eligible for the campus placements and the seniors are a good connection who help to get places and get a job after the completion of degree.
