Anonymous's Review On Loyola College, Chennai

The College was in the city I already live in. Even though I wanted to go to a different city for my college education but my parents convinced me to stay in Chennai so had selected this college. The thing I like the most about the college is its campus placement opportunities. They have alsopartnered with several international institutions which could be beneficial for students opting to go international for their higher studies or career.

The course in which I was enrolled had a closed syllabus(restrictive in the sense that some core subjects were not taught properly like concepts were not explained especially analytical subjects like statistics/quantitative methods) in its course of three years. A few members of the faculty was not upto the mark with regards to their communication even though they have good knowledge but others (Eg: Prof. Sarita in the morning shift) are very good in the Field. But all the professors are helpful and can guide one through their studies and vast number of books are available in the library. So all in all if one takes proper initiative with the professor it can turn out to be a beneficial programme in the future even considering the drawbacks due to its opportunities in the job market as well as for higher studies like Masters or Doctorates. But the problem is the administration staff, they are rude most of the time and not accommodating or helpful.

There are many reputed companies who visit the college for placements. Many notable ones are Deloitte, ICICI Bank, Accenture, KPMG, EY, TCS, etc. There is a separate placement cell available in the college where a student can check out the updated placement opportunities. Also a separate corner has been made for placements on the website which can be accessed to check out placements and new opportunities. Every company has similar steps but different approach for their placement.

Ovations are held every year which is an inter department (intra-college) cultural event which is held by the college authorities. Initiative is really important to take part in these events. But they are not as exciting as other colleges holding inter-college fests. But here are inter-college department festivals where each department invites the same department from different colleges for events with significance to the subject (Eg: Economics Dept. invites other colleges (Ecomonis Dept.)) But participantion takes a huge chunk of your time.

The library is huge and updating. The Computer lab is great for accessing e-books. Wi-Fi is available for teachers For students one needs to ask the office Sports facilities are more so for the ones from sports quota but for regular students time slots have been alloted. There are volleyball courts, basketball courts. There is also a cricket field, a football field as well as a hockey field available. Other sports facilities are also available.
