    Educational heart of Chennai.
    Placements: Placement is good but not satisfactory. 70% of students are placed, but students placed in MNC companies are very few. Mostly, students are placed in Chennai-based pharma companies. Shapoorji Pallonji hired 5 students, but in Cipla, Lupin, and Dr. Reddy's, 8 students were placed. Salary depends on many factors, but 30,000/month is mostly offered. Roles include test right, information executive, and biotech technician. Tip: Placement is difficult for low-grade students, so maintain your grades.
    Infrastructure: The college is located in the heart of Chennai City, which is why there is pollution, noise from vehicles, and lots of traffic. Loyola College has the biggest library in the entire Chennai city. The annual fest "The Ovation" is celebrated in February; film artists visit the campus at that time. The facilities and technologies provided in classrooms are first class. We have smart classrooms on campus. Hostel facilities are good; all rooms have charging points and shared beds. Food is given 3 days a week non-veg, and the remaining days veg only. Canteen food is not good; they need to change the cook.
    Faculty: Honestly, some faculty behavior is rude, but most teachers are very polite in nature. They are passionate, sincere, caring, and supportive. Every student has an individual mentor; we can share our problems and academic doubts with them. Our college grading system is very different; scoring and passing is very difficult. The course curriculum is also very big and assigning house are less, needing all attention while teaching the subject.

    Facilities provided by hostels is awesome.
    Placements: Actually you get eligible for campus placement by the end of 6th semester many companies like Amazon, Infosys, Google, TCS, HCL, and many more companies visited our campus during a campus interview where many students got placed in good companies. The highest package given to a student is 150000 for a beginner and somewhat 70 percentage students got placed.
    Infrastructure: The registration process for the hostel is simple. We have to fill a form and based on the vacancy they will be allotted a room for the students. The hostels costs around 90000 per year. The food is best. The quality of the hostel when considered to the price is really good.
    Faculty: Biotechnology is the course I have chosen because of very broad job opportunities Every class has 30 students (max) and 5 faculty each one subject our faculty members have finished Ph.D. and with a very good teaching experience. The exams are not really difficult and we can easily pass out.
