A short review of my college

Likes

The facilities are good in teaching and there behaviour is so friendly.

Faculty:

In our department there are 15 teachers and 39 total students. The teachers are so friendly and approachable. There is one mid semester and one end semester exam in every semester. Questions are not too much tough, problems are doable if you study. Approx 2-3 students fail in every semester but they fail only in one or two subjects. For me every faculty is good at their field of expertise, they all are experienced and teachers us quite well.

Inside review of St. Xavier's college kolkata(Autonomous)

Student Snaps:

There is very less things in the faculties that one probably dislike, they're phenomenal as a teacher and as a person. They try to help us every way possible. The course structure is simple as the other colleges out there. There is a mid sem that is held middle of every semester and semester exams are also there. In our department the faculty to student ratio is around 3 students per faculty. It's very easy to approach any faculty member. I like S Ghosh, Ic, Kb etc. i dislike Src, i don't like her teaching style. The exams are little difficult and the course curriculum is relevant.

Dislikes

The professors do not clarify doubts once they have taught in the class

Our department has a total of 8 professors. They are approachable to some extent but get angry is approached a few times Sociology department faculties and mass communication faculties are the best. There are 2 exams one is the mid semester of 20 marks and the other is the end sems whichbis of 80 marks.

If you want a multi faceted academic college experience, Xavier's is the one.

My course is a bit unique, so we have a bad student-to-teacher ratio specifically for my year. It's around 140:1. Some professors are very friendly, while some are just disinterested in meeting outside the classroom. Be careful in approaching professors, as there was a young male professor who acted inappropriately with students, but the authorities didn't do anything. There are two main exams, mid-terms, which is just for a fraction of the total marks, and the main one end seems which is for the majority of the marks. Our attendance and presentation skills are added to the final marks.

Here is a Xaverian speaking.

Faculty is great as in qualification as most of them are PHDs. They are helpful and caring unlike most other professors of other colleges.

The teaching methods of the faculty even after great qualifications are very traditional and monotonous. Also, the events happen indoors which is not very well built thus, not very interesting thing to do in college.

most classes have around 70-80 students. Thus, the ratio is 1:80. Most teachers are friendly and helpful however, their teaching methods are monotonous. I recommend the best faculty is in the finance department and the marketing department as they have real life experience and have also achieved great success in their lives. First we have the mid sem exams for 10 marks, 5 marks for attendance, and 5 marks for assignments. Semester exams are conducted of 80 marks.

SXC life

It was very practical based and for every theory topics in our subject there was practical based education given to apply it in our real lives
Professors were very stern, dedicated & diligent in teaching us topics given to them

• The student-fo-faculty ratio was good. It was around 25:1 and the relationship was good between the faculties and students • The faculties I liked from my statistics department are Prof. Surupa Chakroborty, Prof. Surabhi Dasgupta (Ma'am)(who was my project guide in my final year), Prof. Debjit Sengupta, Prof. Ayan Chandra, Prof. Madhura Dasgupta and others Every one of them was very thorough in their teachings and helped us a lot if there were any problems academically and recommended us how to solve those • In my 3 year UG course, there were 6 semesters and the number of exams in a semester varied on the number of topics that was being taught in that semester. • Difficulty wise, the exams used to be medium to hard depending on the topics and on how topics were taught throughout the semester • Almost 90% of the students used to clear out the exams.

The best college for professional course students

The faculty of this college is extremely helpful and knowledgable and understanding.they are always helpful to all students and are ready to stand in their support and help them and give them ideas whenever they need it and this help students success

There are one to two teachers for 85 to 80 students in each class for each subject.we have a total of six to seven subject so there are a total of 8 to 9 teacher per class in each department Other than this we also a consultant teacher to go to for any difficulties and problem faced by us in our career or personal life or college life . We also have a mentor for each class to support us in time of need Overall the faculty of this college is good all of them are very knowledgeable and experienced and helpful and supportive. they are always available for students and try to make them understand all the topics of their subjects Cost accounting and finance teachers are exceptionally supporting and helpful .they are always ready and available for students other than the college time also to make us understand the topic or questions.. other than that there are teachers also who have a very practical approach of teacheing they try and embed the topics in our mind instead of just making us learn it for studies stake by making use of examples games or real life experiences . overall i believe the faculty of this college is much better than the other colleges
