In Loyola, we look at education differently. For us, education does not lie in the quantification of knowledge. But it lies in the quality of knowledge that helps form the character of students. Forming them as Competent, Committed and Compassionate men and women for others. We believe in this philosophy. This is our passion. And this is the core of Jesuit Education. This is what has made Loyola climb to the top in the league of colleges in India. In 2004, the University Grants Commission (UGC) recognized it as a “College with Potential for Excellence”. The NAAC reaccredited it at A+ level in 2006. These details are retrieved from www.loyolacollege.edu
