There are experienced teachers who strive to instil the right spirit and traditions. There is a great deal of interaction between students and faculty even after college hours. We celebrate most festivals together. ‘Expressions’, the main social event at MCOMS consists of diverse sports and cultural events. All these activities help to develop interpersonal and leadership skills. Well-developed codes of conduct ensure a good academic and social environment on the campus. Ragging is strictly forbidden.
