Recently I got a chance to visit the MACFAST campus in Tiruvalla. I was expecting it to be yet another self financing college. But I was very much surprised when I saw the facilities in the campus.
The college only has got PG courses and every student is treated as a professional. Students are always in executive uniform (even though I dont agree to being formal always), the sight is very impressive.
The entire campus is wifi and there are students sitting here and there casually using their laptops. Unlimited internet access is guaranteed with fail over connections via RF and cable from different service providers.
The principal is a true visionary. Rev Dr Abraham Mulamoottil came to Tiruvalla to start this institution after having taken a PHD from abroad. All the infra was setup using the unused NRI money flowing to Tiruvalla. He plans to make this into a deemed university in the near future. He even has got plans to setup an IT park and a mini airport in Tiruvalla.
The college has got some of the best people from the academic scenario in Kerala. Prof Ignatious Kunjumon, a well known figure in the open source and free software movement in kerala is the HOD of Bio informatics and MCA departments.
The college has started a company, MACFAST Technologies which is providing jobs to students. Its not about the money, but the experience of working in a company atmosphere and getting paid for it really counts.
And before I left the college the principal revealed another plan of his to me. He plans to buy Tata Nano cars for his students. He wants his students to live like a professional even while they are studying.
