3 Academic Guidance. An elaborate system of academic guidance is built within the overall academic training at MCM. Efficacy of the system is reflected in the remarkable performance of students in the Board Examinations. The paradigm of the academic guidance rests on regular classes, extra coaching classes for weak students and time-tested academic evaluation system.

Assessment. Students’ assessment is carried out through a time- honoured system of evaluation. The overall standing is determined on the basis of academic results, conduct and participation in co-curricular activities and games. A student’s promotion to next class is not guaranteed; it is granted on the basis of academic performance, discipline and overall conduct. The final authority, in this regard, rests with the College and in case of very bad discipline, the student may have to repeat a year, or leave the college.

The activities also include prominent guest speakers and educational visits for enhancing general awareness among the students.

Leadership Training. The College caters for leadership training and character building of its students. The daily schedule of classroom instruction, co-curricular pursuits and supervised house routine is specifically tailored to contribute tangibly towards the grooming of the students. Training is imparted to the students by giving them responsibilities especially through prefectorial system at the College and House levels. Appointments are rotated after a pre-determined period to spread the leadership training canvas.

5 Co-curricular Activities. A series of co-curricular activities are held at the College throughout the year. These activities help the students improve and refine their creative and social skills, broaden their mental horizon and widen their breadth of general outlook. The Literary Society established at the College, called Bazm-e-Adab provides a forum where students express their literary talent and an opportunity is afforded to them to excel in this field. There is a lot of emphasis on the development of public speaking skills. To provide ample opportunities to the students for realizing their potential to the full, clubs at the College functions round the year. These include Drama Club, Debating Club, Science Club, Fine Arts Club, Riding Club, Photography Club, Computer Club etc. Movies and documentaries are screened and social get-togethers are meant to be a healthy interlude to break the routine.
