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.

Which will be better, Liba, Great Lakes, TAPMI, or Nirma University?

TAPMI is the best among these institutes. If you are among the top 100 students, you can get good placement packages. TAPMI placement report for last year reveals that the top 100 students received an average CTC of around INR 14.6 LPA. The job profiles and exposure offered at the institute are comparable to top management institutes in the country. You can keep Grate Lakes as your second preference. Both campuses of Grate Lakes offers decent placement opportunities to students. During the 2022 placement, the average CTC stood around INR 11 LPA for the institute. LIBA and NIRMA University aren’t in the same league as TAPMI and Grate Lakes.

Who are some of the famous alumni of LIBA Chennai?
