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.

How much a tag of a premier B-school (IIM's) matters than a B-school (TAPMI, KJ, and LIBA) five years down the line?
There are two schools of thought on the same. The proponents would say that it matters a lot since the older your institute gets the more your alumni base spreads across the industry and in today’s corporate world connections are everything. Hiring managers ask for recommendations. Every college has its reputation in the market that has been built over a period of time by its students, faculty, and staff. But we also have people who dont believe in this concept and would like you to believe that only matters to an extent. Well that might be true for some but it takes a lot of effort to not be seen as a part of your institution
