Loyola College
Loyola College was founded by the Society of Jesus in 1925, with the primary objective of providing University education in a Christian atmosphere for deserving students, especially those belonging to the Catholic Community. Although this college is meant primarily for Catholics, it admits other students irrespective of caste and creed.
The college aims at training young men and women of quality to be leaders in all walks of life, whom we hope will play a vital role in bringing about the desired changes for the betterment of the people of our country, more particularly of the Dalits and other poorer and marginalised sections of society.
The College trains young men and women to serve their fellowmen in justice, truth and love. It fosters an atmosphere of intellectual vigour and moral rectitude in which the youth of our country may find their fulfillment and achieve greatness as eminent men and women of service.
Loyola College became autonomous in July 1978. The College, however, continues to be affiliated to the Madras University and is autonomous, in the sense that it is free to frame its own course of studies and adopt innovative methods of teaching and evaluation. The University degrees will be conferred on the students passing the examinations conducted by the college.
Today, there are 18 departments (Arts, Commerce and Science) and 9 special Institutes offering more than 111 programs to over 10,000 students. 10 departments are offering M.Phil programs and 14 departments offer Ph.D programs. Over 114 teaching staff members out of 277 hold doctoral degree. There are 99 non-teaching staff in service.
UGC conferred the status of “College with potential for Excellence” on Loyola College since 2004. NAAC Re-Accredited the college in 2006 and awarded A+ status. India Today magazine has ranked the Arts, Commerce and Science departments of Loyola College amongst the top 3 in India during 2006. Loyola College is also awarded “the Best Men's College in the City on the Employability skills” by PR Syndicate. LOYOLA is the best disciplined college in the City according to the EXIT POLL 2007.
The Re-Structuring of curriculum both for UG and PG courses has drawn great appreciation from the stakeholders, namely the Alumni, Parents, Industries and the general public. Foundation courses and the Outreach programs in Loyola make a difference in the lives of the students forming them socially conscious and responsible citizens of the country.
The system of periodical teacher-evaluation done by the students has also been welcomed by one and all. The students having access to the photocopy of their evaluated answer-script of semester examinations vouchsafe for the academic transparency in Loyola. Parents-Teachers meetings organized in Loyola, ensure periodical monitoring of the progress of their children / wards.
