What Students Say
Likes
- The college fest was amazing with many various programmes organized and many A lister celebrities making an appearance for the same.
- The college infrastructure and campus is really amazing with many buildings having been build during the historic British rule and the campus is spread out over 100 acres which includes many grounds for sports and cultural activities.
- The college faculty is very well versed with the subject with few of my professors having even cleared the UPSC exams and helping students to clear the same.
Dislikes
- The hostel living arrangements is sub par with many congested rooms with not many amenities, even basic amenities such as bathroom is seriously lacking
- The hostel food is absolutely horrible, the mess food is really not edible and should be changed immediately as many times me and my friends were victims of food poisoning from the same.
- The boys to girls ratio is quite less, with the number of female Students being very low and restricted to only few courses, otherwise the college is predominantly consisting of male students.
Course Curriculum Overview
The course curriculum is very vast and covers majority of key points from various historical events spread out across india and the world. Faculty is unbiased and provided very factual knowledge and not biased opinions. There could be more teachers hired as it becomes difficult for on person to manage a class of 60
Placement Experience
Campus placements are available and provided, However it is only applicable to few courses and is not provided to everyone. Only 40 percentage is the placement rate at Loyola college with many of the placements being at an average package of 7LPA. I wanted to pursue a teaching profession however placement opportunities were not available for me.
Fees and Financial Aid
The year wise tuition was 30000 which took the total up to 90000 for three years excluding the hostel fees of 75000. But there are some government aided courses available as well which provide scholarships and subsidized fees for students.
Campus Life
The Loyola college hosts it's annual fest in the month of October wherein various performance ranging from dance,music, skit and plays are performed to the large crowd of spectaters. Even many top celebrities are invited as chief guests to the programme. Loyola college also has the top cricket, basketball, football and volleyball team and have won many championships to prove that claim as well.
Hostel Facilities
The hostel is very basic and congested, with the lights and fans not working sometimes and even dust being there on the floor. 5 people are present in a room. The warden is also rude and doesn't care much for students hailing from outside of Tamil Nadu. The food served was also equally horrible and I found it really inedible as it has caused me to fall ill quite a few times. eventually had to leave the hostel and find a nice pg as I was falling sick frequently due to the bad food.
Admission
The reason why I chose this college is because it was ranked highly for the bachelor of arts history programme and with my 85 percentage in 12th, I was able meet the cutoff and gain Admission through the second merit list. Overall the admission process was lengthy and hectic and confusing and management can do a better job at it.
Faculty
The faculty to student ratio is less, where most often teachers have to single-handedly manage a class of 60 people. The course structure is sound and covers majority of the key moments of both indian and world history. I quite didn't like the behaviour of the Vice principal of discipline who was very rude and curt to students hailing from outside of Tamil Nadu. There are 3 exams in a semester. 2 unit tests and 1 end of semester test.
