It's a great experience.
Placements: Mostly, placements of students are successful within the campus or outside. The B.A students are given proper training for live classroom experience and also are highly enriched in the efficiency of knowledge about interviews. The salary package is quite favorable for students.
Infrastructure: Hostel is especially for Christian students. The hotel is well-accommodated for college-going students. College has Wi-Fi technology for academic purposes. Classrooms and big and spacious. Our library is one of the first open self library.
Faculty: Faculty members are helpful and are very efficient for roles they play in our college. The college evaluation process is very fair but there is one backdrop that it is under Calcutta University, which usually causes problems in the irregularity of exams.

Really good college with well-equipped classrooms and teachers. Placements are not provided.
Placements: Our college does not have a mandatory placement system, so the majority of the students do not opt for a job after the completion of the degree. There are some seminars and workshops held, and the students who are interested join these small internships that come their way. English honors mostly means that the majority of the students go for higher studies or otherwise they work as editors, translators, content writers, etc. Mostly NGOs and social welfare organizations give students a chance to work as volunteers, managers, or social service members.
Infrastructure: The classrooms are big and equipped with smart screens and projectors. Many students can sit at once in the rooms, and the labs for media and psychology are also clean and have all necessary equipment required. The major classrooms have a small seminar library that contains a useful collection of study materials and books. I do not know about the hostel facilities that much, as I was a traveling student, but as I have heard from my peers, the facilities are not that bad.
Faculty: The professors are very knowledgeable and wise with their teaching methods. They pay attention to the students and explain each topic with great detail for each paper. Video, song, handouts, etc., are used to accompany the explanations, which makes it easier to understand. CU conducts the semester exams, but the internal exams are conducted by the college. The exams are not very difficult if the students pay attention to the topics explained in the class.
Other: English has been my strong subject since class 5, so I pursued honors in that subject only. I like reading and writing stories, which makes it easier for me to enjoy the subject while studying for the deeper topics. Literature is a nice thing to study, but for job purposes, it might not be the ideal course that will help you in the resume. I hope that there will be booster electives like content writing, SEO learning, HR information, etc. Campus life at Loreto was very fun and peaceful. The students are well-behaved and disciplined in their daily activities, and rules are followed wherever it is necessary. Annual fests like the samagam and other events are celebrated along with freshers and farewells.

Had a great experience here.
Placements: The placement opportunities are good enough. Companies like ICICI and Wipro visit our college. The students placed are in the range of 30-35. Alumni networking also contributes to the placement success. On average, placements every year range from 2-4 LPA.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure is modernized. The library boasts the latest collection of books. Hostel facilities are available only for Catholic girls. The food in the hostels is not that good, but the college canteen offers delicious meals at reasonable rates. Hostel rules are rigid. The faculty is cooperative and helpful.
Faculty: The curriculum is vibrant with various extracurricular activities happening throughout the year. The teachers possess proper qualifications for teaching and have a great grip on their domains. Regular internal exams are conducted, and being affiliated with CU, it follows the end semester schedule according to Calcutta University.

Review of Loreto College.
Placements: Our college provides good placements. Top recruiting companies like TCS, Infosys, Wipro, etc., visit our campus. Internships are provided. Internships vary depending on availability. It is an excellent college.
Infrastructure: The library is huge and well-furnished. Washrooms are clean. Classrooms are new, breezy, and spacious. It has an old British vintage charm to it since the building was built in 1917. Hostel facilities are good. The quality of food in the canteen is affordable. There are many amenities for sports. We have a separate club for sports.
Faculty: Our teachers are excellent. They prepare us for all-around excellence. Our teachers graduated from Oxford and Cambridge. They are good. The teaching quality is good. Semester exams are difficult.
Other: Our syllabus is very diverse and will help you gather general knowledge. Scholarships are provided. You shall inquire from the college office and have every kind of information that you need. The college office is always open for you. Extracurricular activities are held. Our college organises an annual fest, Samagam, etc. You will be rewarded if you do good for this institution.

It is perfect for academic studies, overall development, and many opportunities are available.
Placements: Loreto unlike other private institutes doesn't take responsibility of placements. You can approach the placement cell, and if there's a company coming to the campus that year, you can apply. Most companies offer internship opportunities which might lead to placement in the company depending on your performance.
Infrastructure: One of the best things about our college is the serene lush green campus. It has old antique buildings, churches and is amazing. The college offers a gym, a beautiful library, common rooms, halls, and spacious classrooms with all facilities. All types of assistance are provided by the college.
Faculty: Some of the best faculty members you can expect here and are very prompt to student issues, and help you throughout. The college is under Calcutta University, so neither the syllabus nor exam has anything stake from the college. The university majorly takes decisions about the syllabus, the change of pattern, structure, exam dates and certificates, and issue of your degree.

For English Honours: 60% 1st line cutoffs don't go below 90 in Loreto but the 2nd and 3rd and so on lists the cutoff do come in 80.

Getting BA hons. in English from any university depends upon the cutoff list of the College. If the College has seats available then you will surely get admission. All the Best.
