Loyola is unique, it's a legend — ever ancient, ever new — painstakingly spun over last 75 years. It's a mystique that spells excellence, dedication, quality and relevance. The National Assessment and Accreditation Council popularly known as the NAAC deemed Loyola as a five-star college after making a thorough review of the college and its various activities. The NAAC judges the colleges on the basis of various parameters, such as related institutions of the college, facilities that are made available to the students studying in the college in terms of food, accommodation, lab., library, class-rooms etc. In every parameter of judgement, Loyola had an edge over all the other institutions. The college believes that it was primarily the autonomy factor that clinched it. Loyola has a collaboration with the International School of Business, London which enables the students to get trained in Loyola and complete their degree course in England. Apart from that, Loyola has already signed a MoU with Pondicherry University for twinning programme in continuing education. Loyola prepares its students not just for a good career, but for life itself.
