M.A. in Economics - Batch of 2023

5Placements5Infrastructure5Faculty5Crowd & Campus Life5Value for Money

Overall, best college for M.A. in economics course.

Placements: In our college, about 57% of students got placed. The highest salary offered was 15 LPA. Most students were placed. Most recruiters recruit students from our departments and specialize in expected numbers. Students got a placement or went abroad for further studies. Our college transfers were excellent. On average, students participate in entrepreneurship. Roles offered were expert, strategy consultant, and many more.

Infrastructure: We had great infrastructure and departments with central AC throughout the campus. Wi-Fi was available in every corner of campus, as well as ample space in classrooms and research labs. Hostels were the best, with a central theater and separate hostels for boys and girls. Our hotels had restrooms and a TV room.

Faculty: Teachers were highly qualified since effective teaching abilities differ greatly. Additionally, teachers exhibit behaviors that were so distinct that we recall our educators. Semester exams were simple. The portion we could reduce from the overall amount relies on our attendance in class and our concentration on learning. The rate of passing was 95%.

Overall, the best college for the M.A. in Economics Course.

Placements: As much as 77% of students were excluded from my research. The package is limited to 50,000 INR each month. Firms such as Avasoft, TNB Bank, ICICI Bank, among others, arrive for placements. Each student secures internships by reaching out to various companies. Sustainability specialist, policy analyst, and similar positions are available through my course.

Infrastructure: Our college housing was awful. We had Wi-Fi, a computer lab, and air-conditioned classrooms. We also had air-conditioned libraries and digital libraries. Furthermore, we had a restaurant with several stalls, offering a variety of foods such as drinks, snacks, and meals. The food provided was all good, with cleanliness being the top priority.

Faculty: Every faculty member here is doing their job really well. Studying only for a degree is not good for transfer jobs, it's important that the knowledge gained is relevant to the topic or stream. If students study every day from the very beginning, they can easily pass a semester exam, which alone can help them get a good percentage. The pass rate is above 72%.

Infrastructure is good, core jobs are limited, good learning with good placements, overall good.

Placements: I am from the department of M.A. economics, about 70% of students are placed in the department every year. The highest package is about 7 LPA. Many top recruiting companies in our course, most of our students are attending the placements, top roles like testing, manager, etc., are offered.

Infrastructure: The college infrastructure and facilities are good, with a campus and a green environment. Infrastructure like labs and library is fully equipped by air conditioners. The hostel facilities are average and the food is better than average. Sports are conducted once a year.

Faculty: In our department, staff are trained and well-qualified. The teaching is good and the curriculum is similar and relevant to us. The semesters are conducted by the universities, so it might be a little tough, and the percentage has decreased for many students.

Other: The reason for choosing this course is that it is a leading course and has high value. Everything has improved. Events and symposiums are conducted every semester.

It is a very good college with a very good environment.

Placements: Many famous companies are recruiting here as TCS, Apex, Infosys, etc. There are more than 2000 students in this course but one downside is there are no campus interviews. Around 60-65% of students got internships according to the statistics.

Infrastructure: The overall infrastructure is good and well-planned. Classrooms are clean. Canteens maintain hygiene. Hostels are not as good as expected. Hostels for boys and girls are separate. One can only get into the hostels only after one gets the admission in the college.

Faculty: Our teachers are cordial and qualified. They put the right in front of the students which helps a lot. Other than a few teachers others teach relevant and time bound concepts which helps in self-study. There are more than 350 members for only academic staff and around 180 administrative members.

Short Summary of Loyola College.

Placements: From the 3rd semester onwards in M.A. Economics, students with all clear subjects sit for campus placements. Companies like Wipro, Infosys, TCS, ICICI Bank, Avasoft, and TNB Bank recruit many students. The highest package offered is 2.5 LPA, and the placement rate is lower than expected. Many companies conduct interviews but do not announce the results.

Infrastructure: Every year, big events like Ovations are celebrated on the college campus, and the administration is always keen on achieving the holistic development of students. Sports Day and Arts Day are two major events. We have separate labs for every department. The hostel has limited seats; only 5 students from every department get admitted. Both girls' and boys' hostels promise average mess food, but the non-vegetarian food is very tasty.

Faculty: The faculty is generally good, with most of them being experienced. However, their teaching quality is inconsistent. Some teachers are in aided posts and may not be efficient in teaching. The course duration is 2 years, and the syllabus changes every 2 years. The exam papers are quite easy, with some questions repeating from the past 4 years, making it easier to pass all exams.

Other: The college fee is INR 11,500 for the first year and INR 12,500 for the second year. Apart from this, students benefit from scholarships.
