Loyola’s ground reality

The course is a great and a valuable course, economics is valued all over the world. It can build a person's life, the course offers you with various opportunities and experiences. The only problem is the syllabus and the lack of maths based curriculum in the course. The faculties also are not specialised in maths, meaning one has to self study for his extra knowledge so that he can keep up to the level of other colleges.

The semester fees is 20,000 rs, and we in a year we have 2 semesters. So it comes around 40,000 rupees. The college also provides us with LSS (Loyola Support service) where they give scholarships to people in need and they also help people in their personal lives by giving out donations as well. And for people from reservation there are allocated seats and special classes for them to attend so that they can improve themselves.

The annual cultural "Ovation" takes place it is one the biggest college event conducted in chennai, you can witness famous actors, politicians and sports personalities coming to the event. The college has a lot of smart rooms and conference halls. And the Library is one of the oldest in the city, where there's a book which dates back to 1800's. The college has 3+ grounds which are very huge and almost all sports can be played. The college offers club activities and participation in the 1 year itself where people can join Enactus, Rotaract, Health and wellness, Quiz & Debate etc.

The admission process was easy, I got in through credit score, meaning I paid no donation of any kind. They asked for the basic details and 10th and 12th marks for admission, nothing extra. I personally applied to SNU delhi and Chennai, where I got both (Bcom) and also I applied for MCC also where I got the Econ program. I settled for Loyola because of what the brand value was, people around me used to praise It like nothing and also it is considered the best college in chennai. So being a young student i went on to join this college.

The faculty's are very approachable and great to talk to, but they don't have the skills to teach the current syllabus, as most of them in my department dont have a degree in maths, which is needed for economics. Which can also be seen in the syllabus. The marking system is average it is just like the school system where they don't give you marks on the basis of content but pages you write.
