Stella Maris College, Chennai Reviews on Infrastructure, Campus, Placement, Facilities & Faculty

The college has a very good infrastructure with the required facilities and equipments. The college has very well equipped laboratories, a library and multiple hostels and are well maintained. The overall college environment including the living spaces are constantly maintained.

I did my three year B.A. ENGLISH degree programme. It was one of the best time in terms of academics. The environment, the professors everything about SMC is so welcoming and warm. The curriculum is very well and updated with contemporary touch in it.

We have a dedicated placement cell and training for young graduates which prepares you for an entire semester to be job ready. 60 to 70 percent of students who apply. My college was very supportive in terms of getting good placements and encouraged throughout the period.

College infrastructure is excellent, they retain the oldest blocks as well as bring in newer, more sophisticated blocks like the Sancta Sofia block. The library is well stocked and well organised and has free wifi. There are 3 canteens with delicious food, a pani puri stall and a mess for the hostellers.

The quality of academics in Stella lives up to its reputation as one of the best in India. The syllabus for English has been rigorous and challenging but our professors have always pushed us to be our best. The marking system is a bit too stringent though

Stella has brought in companies from all over India as well as MNCs like Deloitte, Natwest, Nielsen and Godrej. The placement process was very efficient and many companies who admitted freshers have also praised the process. Sometimes the companies have taken a long time to onboard the students and maybe the college itself could have taken some action in that regard.

Stella Maris College is an Autonomous college which is located in Cathedral Road Chennai. I joined Stella in the year 2021 and completed B.Com general successfully in 2024. To share my experience there, Teaching is extremely good and it is well known college for extracurricular activities especially charitable work. I've been part of NSS and also there is a compulsory subject to serve in an NGO for few hours. Hope you find this helpful.

There are various subjects that are completely relevant and helpful. In Marketing we had so many types of marketing such as retail marketing, tourism marketing and in Accounting there are Financial Accounting and management Accounting. There were also subjects like international business, business communication etc. The subjects were very easy as well as useful for the future careers.

The placement cell plays major role in Stella were most of the students get job while leaving the college with good pay. Usually placement is conducted only during the third year. Before placements there is also training which is provided by the college to Excel students

The college fee is affordable.

There are various cultural events which are conducted by all the departments. Students can participate in cultural competitions which are conducted by other department also. There is also NSS, NCC, and Clubs such as French club, environmental club, Tamil club, photography club, and more which encourage students to participate more in the club activities

The reason for me giving four stars is that: Our college has superb infrastructure and facilities. We have a green campus filled with large classrooms, a/c halls, seminar rooms, church, four canteens, one juice shop and two auditoriums (one being an OAT). But I feel chairs could be changed because our college has been functioning from 1947 and hence our college always strives to maintain the quaintness of our campus. Yet, the chairs were a bit uncomfortable in some academic blocks.

We have an international curriculum for our honours department. Our degree is integrated with ACCA which is a professional certification. So experienced visiting faculties would come and teach us. Our curriculum is a very upgraded and advanced one.

The quality of our placements is very high. About 60% of our students are placed and the highest package offered was INR 12 lakhs p.a which was offered by D.E Shaw . The average salary offered was 4,00,000 CTC.

Yes. Stella being one of the oldest art and science college in Chennai. It's legacy aligns with its infrastructure, old but gold. Nevertheless it has all necessary facilities, a huge library, sports fields and laboratories. The classrooms and pathways are regularly cleaned and the canteen serves amazing food.

I studied BCA, the quality of teaching served me as a base KSA for my analytic career. I joined Stella because that academic year it was among the top three college all over India in particularly BCA department. Yes we had Data Science, React Js, Corporate based Final Year Project, entrepreneurship etc., which develops the individuals in both programming and business aspects.

If you consider ROI. Stella is the best option. We had top companies ranging from 3-15LPA. Deloitte, McKinsey, PwC, KPMG, ICICI, Deshaw, NielsenIQ. Most of the students above 60% will be placed. But it depends upon the skills the batch hold and chance of going into higher studies.

The studying and the quality of the teaching is really awesome when compared to the other colleges. The curriculum is updated and includes all the recent developments in the college. This field makes us job ready

The quality of the placements is quite not satisfactory as many are not getting good results in their exams. The college is supportive really not that much but has to improve on this side as it can impact many things.

Hostel facility is available and food in the hostel is very hygiene and the hostel is safe.

I am studying BA in the college. I am interested in arts so I opted for a degree in arts and humanities. The quality of teachings is extremely good and the standard of teaching is extraordinary and the materials for studying will be provided on time. The curriculum is updated every 3 years and the syllabus is highly standard in nature. The updated syllabus meets the day-to-day expectations in the career field . Also many workshops are conducted in order to gain more knowledge which is valuable.

There is a separate and efficiently functioning cell in the college called Career guidance cell where the students can register and get special trainings and assistance with regard to the campus interviews. There will be placement drives conducted in every even semester where the eligible students get placed. the average salary package will be approximately is 4.5 lakh per annum and it may vary with courses. there are approximately 6500 students and on an average 400 students get placed per year

The fee structure is very affordable and it is paid semester wise. per it it will cost around 20,000 approximately on a whole . The each and every penny that is spent is entirely worthful.

There are more than 10 clubs and centers in the college is very active throughout the year and it conducts various programs and events on a regular basis, there are also inter college event collaboration which will give good exposure

My experience in this college is extremely good, I got a good exposure and I have learned a lot of new things. I personally liked studying there.

The campus is filled with greenery. The classrooms are very well equipped, spacious and bright and so are the labs. Hostels have adequate facilities and the mess food is not that great but okay. Canteen food is better.

The curriculum is very vast and covers everything one might need to pursue a higher education in the field. The teachers are always helpful and are very knowledgeable in their field. One can approach them at any time for doubts.

Placement opportunities are good for people who are not willing to pursue their higher studies. In our department that was rarely the case as everyone wanted to do higher studies and hence, for this department, placement opportunities are very limited.

Campus life is amazing, I had the best 3 years of my life, be it the exposure the college gave me, the academics part, the extracurricular activities, seminar etc were all very useful and helpful.

The college has good infrastructure and campus maintenance is clean and pleasant. The classrooms are provided with intercom speakers, black boards , shelves and comfortable seaters.

The college offer great deal of placements from various top companies. But it also depends on the grades of the student. Above 80% students get placed in great companies with starting salary above 20k

The college fee costs around 20k-40k. They also provide physical education classes, various clubs to participate, and good NCC and NSS trainings

The college management and structure of time table gives main attention towards academics . The students will be asked to do classroom assignments aligning to their syllabus , thus improving their presentation skills. The location of the college is convenient and safe enough to handle emergencies
