ST Xavier's Kolkata Reviews on Placements, Faculty and Facilities

There is a separate department for Campus placement. You have to apply to that department. Campus Placement is not easy. Interviews conducted by different companies and multinational companies go by series of interviews. After clearing all interviews, you got jobs in those companies. Many multinational companies, financial services rendering companies, Big Four select different students based on their performance. The highest pay offered at my time by one of the Multinational Companies was Rs.18 Lakhs per year.

I choose this course because I like to learn more about tax and want yo achieve a good job in a combany. The college provides hight quality facility for the students. The teachers in this college is hight talented and kind hearted. They give their best for students to achieve rank and good marks in university exams. The college provide exams every month so that students can secure good marks in there final exams. The paper given by the college is very difficult for making students work hard more to achieve good marks. The teachers are ready to clear any doubts of students at any time without any hesitation.

I choose B.com(Hons) because I belong to a commerce background and as well as my interest in this field. If I have to say something about the faculty over here I would like to admire the infrastructure of the college is so fascinating. The teachers are very helpful and encouraging. Exams were online due to this pandemic but we haven't faced any trouble as we were well trained by our teachers. Exams were quite delayed.

Quality of education is fairly high. Most faculty members are well qualified and helpful. Adherence to discipline and decorum is a must - so there's hardly any distraction when it comes to learning. Every topic in syllabus is covered. If one pays enough attention in classes, with little effort at home one can score really well. Exams are standardized and there's no favoritism in paper evaluations. College has great rankings in national level. Zero tolerance for untoward behavior; so it's a safe place. Other facilities including library service, access to computer lab etc are really helpful.On a personal note, the rich heritage of the college, the list of the notable alumni increased my interest for applying to Xavier's.

I've personally not faced the placement cell department but had heard that there are quite good placements with a salary of 2-3 LPA. It is quite high for a B.Com graduate these days according to me. But since the majority of the students persue professional courses so they do not sit for placements. So, to be precise the placement is quite according to my knowledge.

The students of semester 5 and 6 are put on-campus hiring interview. The various company like Godrej, ICICI Bank, YES Bank etc. visited every year to give the students a pleasant experience. The highest and lowest package is 5 lpa to 18 LPA. The placement rate is 85% overall.

Students in their final year are eligible to seat for campus placements. You need to register yourself in the 5th semester if you want to seat for the campus program. You can opt for campus training also which is also really good. Most students who opt for campusing get selected. If you speak about Percentage then nearly 90% of students get selected every year from different streams. However, the fact is that not all students seat from campus. Even after getting offer letters from famous companies like Kotak Mahindra, Cognizant they go for higher studies like MBA, PhD. My plan was after getting my graduate degree was to seat for competitive exams. and to grab a seat in the first place. That is why I didn't opt for the campus program. I didn't dream of joining any corporate job.

The placement cell of the college makes sure that the students get ample opportunity to showcase their talents to the recruiter. Students become eligible for placement from last semester i.e. semester 6. There are various top notch companies that visit the college like ICICI, Infosys, Wipro, amazon, etc. The highest package of the campus was 22 lakh and the average package was 5-6 lakhs. Generally almost 80% of the students get placements.

The placement percentage of the college is around 94%. The average salary package offered for freshers is 1.5 LPA. The highest salary package offered can be up to 4 LPA, and the lowest salary package offered is around 1 LPA. All interested students get internships in various research laboratories, diagnostic companies, food and water industries, and also in various biotech and pharmaceutical companies. Some of the top recruiting companies include Medreich, Indoco, BCIL, Suraksha Diagnostic, Lal Pathlabs, various CSIR and DBT research institutes all over India, Biocon, etc. Top roles are mostly offered in the research and development wing of industries and PhD supervisor, principal investigator, quality control, clinical analysis, etc.

Students are required to do a compulsory internship in the 6th semester and become eligible for campus placement in the 6th semester itself. Since I am in 2nd semester student I don't know much about the companies visiting and the details thereafter. I plan to pursue MBA after completing my graduation.
