Remarks

The eligibility criteria are 10+2. Students who pass off the cut off provide the college get through the merit list and finally a personal interview round is taken by the professors of that particular department and by the principal of the college. In the PI round, a few background questions are asked, nothing to worry about.

Course Curriculum Overview

5

I was in the Psychology honours course. The faculty consisted of 5 teachers, all of whom were highly qualified with 2 having PhD and the others having an MPhil degree. The teaching method was excellent putting emphasis on topics inside as well as outside the course curriculum. We were also made to watch interesting video clips, movies to help us understand any particular topic.

Internships Opportunities

5

I worked as a Social Worker intern at The Missionaries Of Charity. There was no stipend available. We mainly had to select an organization wherein we had to work for a month and make a daily report at the end of the internship. It was a wonderful internship and I am grateful that Loreto College provided me with this opportunity.

Placement Experience

3

Placement opportunities are not that much. It is mainly for students from the Economics Course. A few companies which have come for providing employment opportunities to students are ICICI, Indigo. I feel more placement opportunities are provided to students.

Fees and Financial Aid

The fees policy is good and costs to study is also good. The scholarship is provided to the meritorious candidate, financial assistance is provided to those who need it and job placement opportunities are there like Indigo, ICICI.

Campus Life

5

Loreto College has a lot of clubs like Literary Society, Psychology Society, Eastern Cultural Society, Western Cultural Society, Drama Society, etc. Each society conducts events throughout the year and also participates in events conducted by other colleges. Every year we have an annual fest- SAMAGAM wherein all the societies gather together to showcase their talent and invite other colleges to participate as well. Loreto also gives a lot of emphasis on social work. It is compulsory for the 3rd Year students to participate in any kind of social work and make a report of it.

Interview Experience

5

There was no group discussion. Just a personal interview round conducted by the faculty members of the department and the principal of the college. In the PI round, they asked about my background, hobbies, interests and why did I want to take up Psychology as the course.

College does provide internship opportunities both through the placement cell as well as department faculty. Semester 5 and Semester 7 students are eligible for placements. Average package is about 5.5 lakh per annum for microbiology course. Although placement percentage is on the lower side majority of students go for higher studies. Many prepare for exams like GATE, IIT JAM, etc.
