St. Xavier's College, Kolkata, starts its academic year in June, following the release of cutoff lists in May. Admissions require a minimum 93% in 12th grade, with Mathematics as a compulsory subject. The college charges an admission fee of 25,500 INR and tuition fees vary between 10,500 INR per quarter for the morning session and 25,000 to 30,000 INR for the evening session. Living expenses in Kolkata are manageable, with meals starting at 30 INR, and metro and bus fares between 5 to 10 INR.
The college is recognized for its qualified faculty, notably in the B.Com program, which spans four years under the NEP. The student-to-faculty ratio is 1:80, enabling personalized learning. However, some teaching methods are considered monotonous. The college's placement cell is robust, with a 67% success rate for the 2024 batch and 75% for B.Com (Hons). Notable recruiters include Deloitte, TCS, PwC, and EY, with average salary packages of 6-8 LPA and the highest reaching 28 LPA.
Internship opportunities, though available, are less emphasized compared to placements. Scholarships are offered, primarily for low-income students, with the Shri Harsh Chandra Baldwa Memorial Award providing a 50% scholarship to top-performing B.Com students. The total fee for B.Com (Hons) is around 520,000 INR, while B.Com is approximately 400,000 INR. Fees are paid in two installments per semester, with financial concessions available for economically weaker students. However, no fee reductions are provided based on merit, caste, race, or religion.
