What is your experience of doing MBA at LIBA Loyola College in Chennai?

One of my cousins graduated from Loyola. His experience at Loyola Institute of Business Administration (LIBA) is quite good. First of all, I will have to answer based on my current interactions with the faculty and some of the students. My friend has been fairly active concerning the alumni meetings and has met most of the professors and quite a few students. There is one marked difference between the time my friend studied there and now, that is the significant improvement in the facilities. There is a proper hostel, the entire campus is wi-fi enabled and the auditorium and other facilities are pretty much as good as it gets. The classes are like any other college. There is a mix of full-time and guest faculty; they also do not follow any particular schedule when it comes to guest speakers. Try not to compare it to an IIM. Though the standards are definitely above average and better. There is still a vibe of a laid-back environment here when comparing them to a B school like XLRI. Categories MBA at LIBA Course Fee 1.68 lakh Highest CTC 20 LPA Average CTC 10-12 PA Recruiting Companies CTS, Tech Mahindra, Byju’s, Accenture, etc. Apart from software companies picking up people for their consulting teams - Cognizant, etc. The industry presence in Chennai is not the same as in Mumbai. Overall, it could be one of the good options among other average-performing colleges.

Which one should I choose for PGDM between GLIM, GIM, FORE, LIBA, NIBM, IFMR and IIFM, Bhopal? And why? I already have calls from GLIM, GIM, FORE and accepting calls from others also.

GLIM, GIM, FORE, and LIBA offer general MBAs. So, you can your preferred specialization during your second year. This will give you a lot of freedom in terms of choosing your industry and job profile. All of these are good options. FORE has a great industry interface. Located in Delhi/NCR, it also enjoys a locational advantage. Your preference order for these four B-School should be - FORE=GIM>GLIM>LIBA. NIBM is a sectoral B-School, so choose it only if you are interested in joining the banking sector. Though IIFM isn’t a sectoral B-School, it is only known for its finance specialization. It is also rated below FORE, GIM, GLIM, and LIBA.

-Sahana Sekar

“As a placement committee member, I had always known the dedication this committee had towards the responsibility of placing the entire batch strength of LIBA, with equal importance given to both Summer Internship as well as Final Placements. However, for me personally LIBA placement cell is what I will be forever indebted to. After a break of 2 years, I never imagined I could re-start my career with a prestigious multinational company like Dell Technologies. Working with the Placement cell was definitely instrumental in cracking those 4 round interviews because of the discipline, punctuality and confidence trait it built up. Post 1 year of a Sales stint with Dell, when I approached LIBA with my desire to explore my career in the Finance field, LIBA was once again generous and the placement team coordinated to get another good opportunity in a Finance role. It is very rare to find a B-school who would invest time in an Alumnus whom they have already placed. For this, I am grateful and I am proud of being a LIBA alumni.”
- Elizabeth James
