Brief History of the Examination Branch

The Examination Branch of Andhra Loyola College has grown steadily along with the institution’s academic journey. In the early decades (1953–1987), the college conducted internal assessments while major examinations were governed by its parent universities. During this period, the college was affiliated to Andhra University till December 1976 and to Acharya Nagarjuna University till 2010, and thereafter it is affiliated to Krishna University which monitored curriculum, examination standards, and the awarding of degrees.

With the grant of Autonomous Status on 24.10.1987 and functioning as an autonomous College from the Academic Year 1988-89, the college established a full-fledged Controller of Examinations (COE) Office, marking the beginning of an independent, structured, and student-centred examination system. Autonomy enabled the institution to design its own syllabi, frame regulations, and conduct examinations while continuing to remain affiliated to the parent universities for the conferment of degrees.

Our Vision

The vision reflects the commitment to holistic education, emphasizing academic excellence, social responsibility, and value-based leadership. It aims to produce individuals who excel in their fields and contribute meaningfully to society.

Our Mission

The mission of forming students as "men and women for others" captures the Jesuit ethos, focusing on Competence, Conscience, and Compassionate Commitment. It also highlights a preferential option for marginalized communities, reflecting inclusivity and social justice.

Over the years, the Examination Branch evolved to meet higher academic standards. The introduction of the Choice Based Credit System (CBCS:2004-2005) as the first college in the united Andhra Pradesh State strengthened the processes of Continuous Internal Assessment (CIA) and Semester-End Examinations (SEE). These improvements were supported by transparent regulations, Board of Studies-approved question paper patterns, and rigorous valuation mechanisms. The grant of autonomy for PG programmes on 20.05. 2017 further expanded the scope of the COE Office, ensuring uniformity, quality, and academic integrity across all programmes.

Today, the Examination Branch has become a technologically enabled, service-oriented wing that reflects the college’s Jesuit values of excellence (MAGIS)), integrity, and accountability. With online exam notifications, digital fee payments, automated hall tickets, result processing, and comprehensive academic data management, the branch continues to uphold fairness, transparency, and quality in assessment—supporting the college’s mission to form competent, compassionate, and committed individuals.
