A WALK THROUGH MEMORY LANE

The institution which moulded me to be a good person.

Chemistry was my main subject and supplementary subjects were physics and mathematics. Languages chosen were English and Hindi. The curriculum included periodic assessments, quarterly and yearly examinations. Various steps to equip the students to secure a decent job after graduation.

In the 1970s there were no campus selection procedures. After passing out students either go for postgraduate studies or apply for jobs. The faculty supported them to get admission for higher studies and getting suitable placements.

So many events were conducted in our college annually. Those programs include cultural fests, annual sports, science exhibitions, educational tours, cricket football and hockey inter zone matches and annual day celebrations. The above celebrations were conducted with the full cooperation of all.

The fee structure was very reasonable. Concessions were given to economically backward students. The fee was very much affordable and could be paid in instalments. There was no capitation or donation to get admission. Everything was very transparent and there were no hidden charges.

There were many endowment scholarships for students to again. Apart from that government scholarships were also there. I got a scholarship given by the central government.

The gender ratio was almost 50/50. The sex ratio so was very healthy. Cultural and extracurricular activities were organised to develop a healthy relationship among students. There was no discrimination of gender race or etoxicity. The class atmosphere was very pleasing.

No.I was a day scholar. But the hostel facility was not sufficient to accommodate the requirement. The college hostel was well maintained and the food was also very good. Fees are very reasonable. So many PG hostels were also nearby. They were also good.

Yes, Alumni meets are conducted every year which is a very nostalgic feeling. We could trace 70 percent of our friends. Sharing our experience in life is a great feeling.

Marthoma college Tire Valladolid is one of the renowned colleges in central Travancore. The admission process includes marks received in 12th followed by an interview. I chose Chemistry as the main subjecting for multiple graduation course. It was a 3 years degree course from 1971 to 1975.

The faculty was dedicated and well equipped to impart knowledge to the students. All were well qualified and gave attention to the development of each and every student they teach. They were always approachable and very encouraging. They paid attention to the all round development of students.
