MCC Boyd Tandon School of Business
Madras Christian College, founded in 1837 as the General Assembly School, evolved into a distinguished institution under the leadership of Rev. William Miller, who established F.A. and B.A. courses. Renamed in 1877, the college flourished with support from faculty like Professors Skinner and Macphail. Relocating to Tambaram in 1937 marked a significant chapter, with Dr. Alexander Boyd’s transformative tenure. Achieving autonomy in 1978, MCC adapted to modern educational trends and introduced vocational Programmes. Dr. Chandran Devanesen’s appointment as the first Indian Principal in 1962 signaled a new era. The institution continued to innovate, introducing the Choice Based Credit System in 2003, and expanding its offerings with self-financed streams. Notable milestones include visits from dignitaries like Dr. S. Radhakrishnan and Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam. Celebrating its 175th year in 2012, MCC unveiled the MCC-MRF Innovation Park, embodying its commitment to excellence and community service.
Our saga finds its roots in the inception of Madras Christian College, a venerable institution entrenched in the sands of time. Established in 1837 by the pioneering missionary Rev. John Anderson, it emerged as a beacon of English medium education in South India. The enduring legacy of luminaries like Dr. Alexander Boyd, a visionary Principal for 18 transformative years, resonates through the corridors of history.
Dubbed the ‘Prince of Principals,’ Dr. Boyd’s teachings laid the foundation for management principles long before they graced the corporate landscape. In the symphony of our heritage, the MCC Boyd Tandon School of Business emerges as a tribute to continuity and innovation. Established through the generosity of Ms. Chandrika Krishnamurthy Tandon, a distinguished alumna, this institution is woven into a rich fabric of values—Integrity, Innovation, and Influence. Our narrative is a seamless blend of tradition and modernity, where the past converges with visionary fervor.
As we embark on this thrilling journey, we extend a warm invitation to become part of a legacy that transcends time—a legacy embodying grandeur, wisdom, and limitless potential. Welcome to the MCC Boyd Tandon School of Business, where excellence flourishes and futures are crafted.
