Loyola College usually conducts entrance examinations for their PG courses. The examination pattern will depend on the respective departments. If you clear the entrance examination, there will be a personal interview round. 

Admission to most undergraduate courses is based on 10+2 marks. Loyola takes entrance examinations for very few undergraduate courses.

How is the B.Com Hons in Loyola College?

MB
Mila Burman Posted On : October 1st, 2021
B.Sc Computer Science & Network Security,Loyola College,Chennai

B.Com at Loyola College requires you to pass 4 papers to get a degree or professional qualification and is embedded with the ACCA UK. The college is renowned and has attained good fame in and around the regions of Chennai. 

This might give a good impression but the reality is something else, college is not as good as you think it could be. The reasons are as follows:

  • The fees of Loyola College are high.
  • There are no rules and regulations followed by the department of B.Com.
  • Few faculties can be strict and pressurize you in terms of score and attendance.
  • You will receive a lot of stress from the department as it gives more assignments, presentations, and tests than the amount already set by the college. 
  • The medical leave is hardly granted to anyone despite submitting all the genuine and related medical documents. It occurs only in the LIAC department.
  • For a 15-day internship, which is conducted after every semester, you will be asked to report the daily work in the department. 
  • After the completion of the internship, a 50 pages report is also required by the department, without any mistakes. If you fail, then you have to do your internship again.

Don’t even think of doing any course like CPA, CA, or CMA along with the college. There would be no time available for you as the department requires you to be available on campus.

Which college is better for BBA course Loyola College or Madras Christian College?

SM
Subhashree Mukharjee Posted On : October 4th, 2021
B.Sc. Physics,Loyola College,Chennai

There is not much difference when we talk about the course and the subjects but the environment is significantly different for both. Here are some things that you should know about the institutes. 

Freedom- MCC offers a lot of freedom to its students in the way they dress and express themselves as compared to Loyola. Even for attendance, it is not as strict as Loyola. Loyola asks its students to pay for condonation and then sit for an exam. 

Ragging- It is still very much prevalent at MCC and sometimes it crosses the healthy limit as well. On the other hand, ragging is very rare at Loyola.

Drug scene- MCC is infamous for its drug-related incidents. While enrolling their children, parents are quite worried about this. On the other hand, Loyola does not have such a problem.

Campus- Both the campuses are extremely beautiful with an amazing experience of studying in the college.

College life- When it comes to cultural and extracurricular activities, MCC is more active as compared to Loyola. They conduct a lot of fests and different events which offer its students a lot of opportunities.

Here is a brief overview of the institutes. 

Category Loyola MCC
Companies Visited MRF, Infosys, TCS, etc. Deloitte, TCS, Wipro, etc.
Average CTC  3.5 lakh 2.31 lakh
Highest CTC 5.2 lakh 3.5 lakh

Therefore, it depends completely on what you want out of your college. If you want a good college life then you should opt for MCC. But if you want good academics then you should opt for Loyola. MCC has a diversified culture whereas Loyola has students mostly from Chennai.

Where can I get a recommendation for Loyola College in Chennai?

RG
Raunak Gupta Posted On : October 4th, 2021
B.Com Finance & Financial Accounting,Loyola College,Chennai

The simplest option is to meet the fathers there and state your case, but this is difficult work for students because they expect you to come and meet them multiple times and wait hours. 

They will basically put you to the test by seeing how much you want the seat. This requires patience, but it is the best-case scenario for securing a seat if you do not have the high markets required or the necessary contacts. 

Bring one of your parents with you; it will be very helpful.

RS
Rudrani Sengupta Posted On : October 4th, 2021
B.Sc Computer Science & Network Security,Loyola College,Chennai

The answer to this question depends on what you want to do. I have a few friends from Loyola College, Chennai, and here is what they have to say about the institute.

  • Loyola has really good professors and a vast library with huge collections of books.
  • It also has a digital library and conducts national-level symposiums. The placement office is amazing and a lot of different companies from diversified fields come to the campus. In the last placement drive, the highest CTC offered was 5 LPA. 
  • Loyola has a policy of 80% attendance. It also has a compulsory club of 60 hours during the first year and there are a lot of options to choose from – NCC, NSS, FOP, Loyola dream team, AICUF, Rotaract, Radio, LPA, Debate Club, etc.

Even after all of this, certain students have arrear and do not like to study. They just want to enjoy themselves and do not enroll in any club, do not use the library at all. 

Overall, the college is good but it is up to you to make the most of your time there.

Is there a cut off for admission to a BA Hons at the Loyola College in Chennai?

SK
Shashak Khanna Posted On : October 4th, 2021
B.A Economics,Loyola College,Chennai

The college administration does not give any information about cut-offs. However, you can apply by filling out the admissions form. There are a few things you can do to improve your chances of being chosen.

  • It is a Christian institution and your chances of admission will improve if you are a Christian (ideally RC).
  • If you get good grades in your board examinations, especially in the subject you're applying for (for example, if you're applying for English lit., get a 90 percent or higher in English).
  • Also, if you don't get the course you want, apply for a backup course. 
  • If you might not get the course you desire, you might be chosen for another.

You'll have a higher chance of getting in if you go to the summer camp held directly after the board exams every year.

What are the marks 2 required to get a B Com seat in Loyola College?

NS
Neeraj Sharma Posted On : October 4th, 2021
B.A Economics,Loyola College,Chennai

B.Com is one of the most sought-after groups at Loyola and the competition for a seat is fierce. There are reservations if you are a member of the SC/ST or a Roman Catholic. More than 60% of the seats are filled with this. 

If you are from a different religion and fall under the general category, for the morning shift, the expected cutoff ranges from 95 to 99 percent. 

Being a minority college founded with the goal of supporting the educational goals of young Catholics, preference is given to RC priority.

This is a guideline for general cut-offs and it changes year to year based on overall results, but your achievements in sports, dance, NCC, and other activities might help you have greater opportunities than others.
