"All your Professors seated here..." ❤️

Department of English, MCC 

Placed Among the TOP THREE in INDIA ❤️

#IndiaTodayRankings2023 ❤️

The India Today Rankings 2023, have proved a huge fillip and a big boost for the Research Department of English, Madras Christian College.

Yes! It’s celebration time folks!!! 

So happy to share the good news that, we’ve been ranked among the TOP THREE IN INDIA in ENGLISH.

Full credits to all the dynamic and vibrant staff members of our beloved Department, and to our dear students for having made this tremendous feat a reality.

Well, just last week, I had sent a message to our HoD Dr. Mekala Rajan,

‘Ma’am we’re so proud of you. You’re awesome. You’re such a lovely leader, leading by example ma’am!’

Dr. Mekala Rajan

Indeed, her leadership qualities have paid rich dividends for the Department!

Kudos to our dear Head of the Department Dr. Mekala Rajan, whose untiring efforts and commitment have made it possible.

On an aside, the Department of English has been making rapid strides in recent years, thanks to the completely overhauled and upgraded syllabus for the MA English Programme [and subsequently for the BA English Programme].

Faculty members have been burning their midnight oil day in and day out, for many many months, all through the holidays, even up until 12 or 1 into the night, to make sure that our students get only the best out of their Degree Programme!

Meeting of the Board of Studies with our External Subject Experts

As convener of the Syllabus Revision Committee, along with my co-convener Prof.Udhayaraj, I would vouchsafe with all happiness, that our Syllabus is literally unrivalled in its scope and in its ambit!

All thanks to our lovely colleagues who literally pulled off the impossible!

External Subject Experts who were part of the Board of Studies, were all appreciation for our revised Syllabus.

Some of the new papers that we have introduced as part of the revised syllabus have been appreciated by all and sundry for its inclusivity and for its freshness.

A galaxy of our illustrious Professors [Retired] who showed us the path ahead...

Just three days ago, during the orientation for the I BA English class, Dr. Mekala requested all of us – faculty members of our Department - to be there for the Orientation, to welcome the freshers – the I BA English Literature students.

Each of the faculty members shared their thoughts with the students, and exhorted them to stay dynamic!

And the vibrant team...

When Dr. Mekala called me, on my turn, to speak to the freshers, I addressed them, and added saying –

“Dear I BA Class, I would say with all pride and conviction that, all your Professors seated here, are simply the best in the whole of India. They are known for their commitment, their vibrancy, and their dynamism. Make sure that you make all your Professors proud of you!”

Indeed, right from Dr. Mekala Rajan till the junior-most coffee bakhta Prof. John, 😊 every faculty member is dedication and commitment personified!

Something that we eagerly expect from all our lovely students as well!

On this celebratory occasion, we would like to thank our beloved Principal, Dr. P. Wilson, under whose vibrant leadership the College has been achieving great progress in all sectors of academia. He has been the real impetus and the motivation behind all our achievements.

Under his able leadership, and with God’s abundant blessings, we are sure to go from strength to strength in the years to come!

Viva la MCC!
