Course Curriculum Overview

For me, the course curriculum was interesting, with all the new things I was learning, new situations I was experiencing. There was an overall development of all of us, and we realized it soon enough.

Placement Experience

3.5

The placements were good for us, we got great opportunities, and a wide scope of companies and sectors came to interview and recruit us. A lot of my friends and I got great packages in large companies.

Fee Structure And Facilities

The fee structure was feasible for us, when compared to other colleges. One year's fees for MBA was ?12,500, and the total fees for two years was around ?25,000. This amount included all kinds of fee and extra charges.

Campus Life

Our extracurricular activities included various student clubs which organised events. Some of us took part in those events, while some of helped set up the event. It was a great two years, it was studying while also having fun.

Admission

CAT is the national entrance test for MBA, and its score is considered in almost every college for admission. That was also the situation here. So I gave the exam, and I didn't get IIMs but got this college.

Faculty

The faculty were kind to us and treated us with respect and love. I used to think that professors in college didn't care at all for their students, but we had a different scene here, a respectful scene.

Let your Light Shine

Likes

The most liked things in my college is the college atmosphere which takes us to a heavenly feel. The environment is very silent when we visit in morning time when the students are in class.
The next thing I like the most is the professors in the college. Each and everyone is a friendly teachers where they not only help us in subjects and class related things but also guide us in our future career plans.
I like the way they treat the students in the college. They'll provide more liberty to the students but that doesn't affect them because the students too will be in their limits of liberty. So this is a good habit developed by the college.

Dislikes

There is nothing particular that I don't like. Sometimes I feel that they'll conduct some events where there might not chances to the deserving students.
There is some students gang where they take care of everything in the college by themselves without giving chances to deserving students.

Placement Experience:

From the final year which means 5th and 6th semester for undergraduate students and 3rd and 4th semester for Post graduate students, it is eligible for them to attend the campus placements. In my MBA, we'll be eligible for next semester to attend the placements. But for undergraduate students, they might have got chances now to attend the placements. The companies visited for us when I was in Undergraduate in the same Loyola College are Deloitte, Accenture, Standard Chartered, Goldman Sachs, RR Donneley, Bank of America, Sutherland, Infosys, Cognizant, TCS, Equinty, Turing, and many more small companies also came. The overall placed students numbers were almost more than 300 among the final year students alone in the college which is a great achievement. The highest package offered for us is ?700000 from Goldman Sachs and the average package we received is ?300000 which is from all the small companies. The percentage of placed students in our college is almost 85% from our batch alone. So we hope that in this batch there might be more than 90%. The reason for 85% in our batch is most of the students has moved for higher studies. My plan after getting degree is to get a senior most position in any of the big company and grow in my career.

Hostel students say they get good quality food with affordable fee
Few teachers who are really cared about the students and their career

Dislikes

College buses are not in proper condition. Very poor maintenance
Many faculties are very lethargic and they do not complete the syllabus on time
Day by day placement sector is becoming poor. Students are not getting proper placements.

Placement Experience:

Students become eligible for placement from 3rd year 6th semester itself but the college does not bring any company for placement on time. 5 years back standard companies lkke tsc, hcl, cts etc used to come. But nowaday it is very rare. Lowest package is 2 lpa and highest package is 6 lpa. Average is 4 lpa. Very least students get placed. Try off campus. Do not believe the college
