One of my friends studied at SJC College Trichy. He completed his Post Graduation in Botany from this college. He is still proud of his time as a student at SJC. Here are some facts about the college you should know.
- In the entire state of Tamil Nadu, there were just five colleges that offered a PG course in Botany. Among these colleges, SJC college was the first to offer a postgraduate course in Botany.
- The facilities and resources made available to the students were extraordinary.
- The PG department had an exclusively specialized Botany library, in addition to the extraordinarily well-equipped College Central Library.
- The laboratories were well-equipped and the campus had a huge Herbarium with a fantastic collection of plants.
- The college's admissions procedure was open and transparent, with just merit as a criterion.
- They have such excellent professors. They supervised every student in addition to teaching the course curriculum.
- There were no on-campus recruitments. Despite this, every student who passed was offered a job.
Most of my friend’s classmates became teachers, and they are doing well. The students absorbed not only knowledge but also values. He still recalls and adores his professors because he feels he owes them a debt of gratitude.
