To be a premier management school focusing on excellence with ethics. We nurture responsible leaders who create meaningful change in business and society.
Loyola Institute of Business Administration (LIBA) is a premier B-school established in 1979 inside the Loyola College campus. It was founded to form leaders who excel with ethics in life and work and make a difference in society.
LIBA is a Jesuit business school run by the Society of Jesus, popularly known as the Jesuits, whose contribution to education dates back to 1540. LIBA is among the Jesuit higher education institutions in India, alongside institutions such as St. Xavier's College, Mumbai; St. Xavier's College, Kolkata; St. Joseph's University, Bengaluru; XLRI, Jamshedpur; and XIM University, Bhubaneswar.
At LIBA, excellence — or Magis — is rooted in ethics and expressed through competence. We encourage students to turn their aspirations into purposeful action, viewing business leadership as an opportunity to serve others, especially marginalised communities, and contribute to the common good.
Our commitment to Cura Personalis, or care for the whole person, complements professional development with integral human growth. In a volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous world, LIBA emphasises innovative learning, effective use of technology, fluent communication, teamwork and the ability to turn uncertainty into opportunity.
Our Teaching-Learning-Assessment approach emphasises formative assessment, core competencies, real-world application and experiential learning, aligned with Outcome-Based Education. The aim is to help learners understand ideas deeply and apply them to solve practical problems.
LIBA offers management education through full-time, weekend and online learning formats, alongside research, executive education and professional development initiatives.
Its learning ecosystem extends beyond degree programmes to include specialised executive education, customised corporate learning and initiatives designed to support entrepreneurship and skill development.
These initiatives reflect LIBA's commitment to building managerial competence, encouraging ethical decision-making and preparing learners to respond to evolving business needs.
