Loyola Chennai, B.Sc, Physics

Reviewed on Oct 21, 2016

Entrance Preview

No entrance exams. I was selected out of my HSC exam results. I chose B.Sc. Physics because of the fact that the employment opportunities were higher compared to other courses and also, I have a particular interest towards Physics as a subject.

Course Curriculum Overview

4.5

The course curriculum is in line with that of the Madras University. I would rate it better than that of the MU, because of the fact that the college was one of the firsts to be declared Autonomous and the curriculum is wide and challenging to understand the basics of the subject you have taken up to major in.

Internships Opportunities

Yes, After the 5th semester, students are expected to do an Internship with companies of their preference and companies which employ people from their particular majoring subject. I got an opportunity to work with Spring India Pvt. Ltd. as I was a Physics major from Loyola. It proved quite useful. But there is no stipend for the internship we do.

Placement Experience

The placements at Loyola is one of the best in colleges across India. For an Arts and Science college the managed to place 70% of the students in 2007 while I studied there. A total of 58 companies were invited. The effort taken by Loyola Placement Officer is quite good compared to other colleges. If you do not have an arrears, you are most likely to be placed before completing your degree.

College Events

There are many technical, cultural and management festivals in Loyola happening throughout the year. The Ovations is one of the biggest festivals which happens on a span of 3 days inviting whose and whose of the celebrities and also bringing out the best creativity and talent out of the students.

Exam Structure

The exam structure consists of 2 terms exams and 1 Final exam in each semester. The system is not fail proof, but it always gives you the chance to try and pass the exam in a single try. A minimum of 50% from term exams and 50% from Semester exams are mandatory to clear a subject you are majoring in. 40% is the passing level and below that means you repeat the subject again.

Admission

The admission process is quite simple. You get the application form from Loyola office or download the application form from their website and pay the required amount for the application processing. After your results are published, the Admission committee at the College will scrutinize your application for further details and marks scored and the feasibility of the particular course in general and the seats will be allotted.

HIMT COLLEGE REVIEW

Likes

The faculties are very well experienced and there are captains who stay in the campus itself, so if there’s something we need they will be available all the time
The facilitieslike labs, ship in campus, DB tank facilities etc are top notch
The classrooms are fully air conditioned. There’s smart board. Overall everything is really good and also neat and clean

Dislikes

Galley food can improve a little and canteen is comparatively small for such a big campus
They are not conducting intra- college events and inter-college events is very less

Placement Experience:

Placements are really good in HIMT. I got placed in 1st year itself in MOLMI. All faculties try their best to prepare us for the placements and it shows in the placement interview also. Usually companies come for placements from 2nd year but there are some companies who want to take girl cadets 1st year itself. MOLMI, MOLTA etc came to our college for placements. After completion of the course, company will call for induction and accordingly they will call for joining the ship. For finishing the cadet ship , we have finish 12 months of sea time. After that a lot courses has to be done for appearing in 2 nd mates exam.

THE IDEAL COLLEGE LIFE!

Likes

The opportunities to meet new people and interact with a whole new circle of people by Club Activities as there are quite a lot of clubs according to the student's interest.
Many places to showcase our singing and dancing talent once we join the club or take part in any of the department events.
They have multiple labs for a single department so that the students get a lot of hands on training for coding and as well as hardware.

Dislikes

4:3 Ratio of Girls to Boys in my class and i hope it's the same for all the departments as well.
The college timing can go from 8:30 AM to 5:10PM.
The 75% attendance is kind of doable and maintainable to an extent.

Placement Experience:

about 70 to 80 percent of the students get placed afdter the colleg and the ones not placed also gets placed after the college with high network and communication from other contacts within the college, ZOHO Corp does take placements and i am preparing for my CAT exams as i am planning for My highers at IIM, 5th semester is when the students become eligible for the campus placements and the seniors are a good connection who help to get places and get a job after the completion of degree.
