The Southern Districts namely Tirunelveli, Tuticorin and Kanyakumari (where “Loyola Institute of Technology and Science” is established) was once referred as the Oxford of the South, since large number of meritorious graduates came out of this place and served our Motherland with grace and dedication. 

The Society of Jesus (SJ-Jesuits) have established many schools and colleges (like St. Xavier’s College, Palayamcottai, St. Joseph’s College, Trichy, Loyola College, Chennai and so on) and gave quality education in Tamilnadu.  They run these educational establishments strictly on professional and ethical basis.  Their services are highly regarded and appreciated.  They have produced many eminent leaders to serve our Great Nation including our beloved former President, Dr. APJ. Abdul Kalam.  Unfortunately, they did not start any Engineering College in the past.  Now, they have promised to guide and counsel us.  Hence a set of Alumni and Beneficiaries of Jesuit institutions have assembled together and registered the LOYOLA EDUCATIONAL TRUST and are establishing the Loyola Institute of Technology and Science.    It is proposed to build 3 institutes

and establish an University in 10 years time.
