FACTS @ MRC
PARENTS
Parental encouragement and support in the academic and personal success of students is very important during the period of campus life as it is a transition stage with more independence and freedom. The role of the parent or the guardian as a caretaker and a coach may change but their opinion matters much to their child though they may be miles away from their home. Their opinion matters to us as well and we greatly encourage and value their relationship with the college.
We always expect the advices and encouragement of the parents to their wards in achieving excellence in education by strictly following the guidelines, systems and practices being followed in the campus.
