ACADEMIC DAYS

Each semester at Loyola Academy comprises roughly 90 working days. The working days are 6 days in a week, i.e., Monday to Saturday, with Sundays and Second Saturdays being holidays, in addition to any other public holidays. Each working day is usually 5 hours, with the allowance of additional hours for extra classes if a lecturer wishes to take any. 6th hours are also used for clubs, extracurricular activities, CRT (Campus Recruitment Training), Project discussion, mentoring, soft skills training. These hours are 55 minutes each in duration. The students are given a 45 minute lunch break at the end of the first three hours. The day order system is followed, consisting of 6 day orders. These day orders are pre-determined and mentioned in the handbook, which is given out to students at the beginning of the academic year.

Assessments are conducted through various viva voce, seminars, group discussions, assignments, computed based tests, and two mid-semester examinations, other than the final semester-end examinations.
