Dear Dhiraj,
yes, on-column cleavage works as well quite efficiently with 3C protease.
I am performing it in a cold room (8-10C) for 1h normally reaches similar 
efficiency.
Depending on your tags (if the 3C has a His-tag) you can add even more protease 
1:50 then for sure 1h is more than enough.
The only thing you need to ensure is that upon cleavage your protein does not 
bind to the IMAC resin due to internal Histidines. If that is the case you can, 
just collect the flow-through and pass it over the beads couple of more times 
to ensure efficient binding of the His-3C protease then you should have a 
highly pure target.
Please note, I am referring to Ni-NTA Agarose beads, which you use in bach mode.
The efficiency will be lower most like if you are using pre-packed columns.

I hope that is helpfull.
Best, Nikolay
