St Xavier's College is the best

Fees and Financial Aid:

Loan/ Scholarship Provisions : In this college, the fees of my course were approx 62000 per semester and every year 2 semesters were held. The second semester is quite expensive which to pay a little more. But it totally depends on the course you are studying. And if you have a laboratory then you have to pay extra fees for it. I did not get any scholarships. The scholarships can reduce the amount of the course or even make it free to study. St. Xavier's College Kolkata offers Full-time programs in different specializations. Another quite good facility is that the Students can pay admission fees of the college both online and offline and this college provides part payment of the course too which has to ve paid on every quarter of the course but only for specific students for which you have to write an application with the consequences and guardian approval. The college also provides a reduction of fees especially during the worldwide pandemic situation which was there at our times.
