MJC Counselling Program

The MJC Counselling Program is an initiative to ensure the holistic development of students. This Program gives them the chance to seek guidance and support – not just inside the classroom, but outside it as well. As soon as they join MJC, all students are assigned a faculty counsellor whose responsibility it is to regularly check-in with them, and oversee their general wellbeing. On the last working day of every month, each student meets her faculty counsellor for a one-on-one interaction. This meeting is a safe space for a student to express and seek advice or solutions.

Student Testimonials

MJC is a place that can shape you from a girl into woman. I think it’s a very special college, because it teaches you how to become a better member of society. The curriculum here is very precise and challenging. Each year, along with science and literary fairs, we also have numerous educational and fun filled trips. We get to explore our own talents thanks to the many clubs here, such as the Phoenix club, Spell bee Club, Eco Club, Art Club and so on. We also love being a part of Renaissance, our Inter-Collegiate Fest and having the opportunity to visit other colleges for other competitions. There is equal importance given to all sports and extra-curricular activities, which helps us learn both inside and outside the classroom. My heart felt thanks to MJC, and to all those who have empowered me to become the person I am today

The MJC family has always believed that empowering the girl child can empower the world, and it’s been a privilege to have been a part of this vision. A unique feature of MJC was its regular classes to develop aptitude and communicative skills, which were a great help during the placement process. I am also grateful to our placement team that encouraged us at each and every step, thereby helping us to secure employment at such a reputed company. My three years at MJC have been extremely special and memorable, and I will cherish them throughout my life. For me, this has been a place where I learned many things that will practically help me in the “real world”. Thank you, MJC, family for shaping me as a woman
