Magis is the Jesuit value that explains excellence.
Rev. Fr.Joe Arun, SJ
The Visionary Behind LIBA

Q: As an institute of business administration, Loyola has been ranked among the top ten in the southern zone. What set it apart from the run of the mill business schools in the country?

A: Magis is the Jesuit value that explains excellence. It says that more and more, better and better should be in our actions, not to be satisfied with mediocre performance. Whatever we do we ask our students and faculty to excel. This is not to be construed as performance for making profits. Instead, it is a deep sense of commitment to values in performing one’s work. In addition, in this excellence, Cura Personalis (Personal Care) is an approach in the Jesuit tradition that accompanies our students, staff, and faculty. This is a formative process in which all are guided to excel in what they do and be deeply conscious of ethical values. This is why the uniqueness of LIBA is that we don’t simply excel, but we excel with ethics. You know well that many B-Schools excel but LIBA excels with ethics and continues its journey towards Excellence with Ethics in preparing its students to become globally responsible citizens surpassing all qualities by evincing unique sets of values and hard evidence of their commitment to values in the face of temptation and self-interest.

Even in our organizational process, we have made LIBA eco-friendly by banning the use of plastics, caring of our Common Home, the Mother Earth. Competent, Committed, Creative and Compassionate men and women for and with others, this is the core of Jesuit Education. This is what has made LIBA climb to the top league of B Schools in India.
