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.

Absolutely dissatisfied because of the faculty and no college placements in 2022.

Placements: The college has not offered any job roles for students pursuing Economics Honors in 2022. The placements are not as good as shown on the website. Only 1 out of 50 got placement in PWC company. Others went to study masters in the hope of getting better job opportunity.

Infrastructure: The computer labs, libraries, and canteens of the college were good. They need to improve their sports and games faculty. They also need to improve their medical facility. Their classroom facilities are also good, with projectors installed in some classes.

Faculty: The exams were moderately hard. Almost 80% of the students passed the exam. However, the teachers were very highly qualified, which made it hard for average students to grasp the basics. Also, sometimes the teachers did not use to finish the syllabus.

Other: The only thing that was good about this college were the different types of events they organized. Participating in such events was fun.

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.

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.
