A remarkable institution for PGDM.

Placements: The most recognizable placement workers achieved a lot and made incredible changes in the records of the Loyola Institute of Business Administration. Individual cells were built to encourage placements and entrepreneurship among us. The average pay scale was above 4.5 LPA.

Infrastructure: Beyond studies, it was an organization that helped us concentrate on the passions we were interested in. It was recommended to wear a certain dress code for every single branch. Based on students' votes, the mode of webinars, workshops, and seminars was decided. A resourceful college was ours.

Faculty: The unique style of lecturers made me admire them even more. They appreciated and encouraged us a lot, even for simple things, which motivated us to do more. However, the head of the department was very irritating and wanted everything to be done within a specific time period.
