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

Many companies as SXC Kolkata is industry's favorite in Kolkata or in East India if I can say. So all the big names which operates here from Sanjeev Goenka Group to ITC to Aditiya Birla Group, all see their potential workforce in SXC.

The curriculum is just not academics but also includes relevant group discussion and interactions which makes the course interesting.The curriculum is such as they prepare students for critical analysis.

The curriculum of the BA in English course is comprehensive as it convers most literary periods and important writers in the English literart canon. There is a paper on content and creative writing as well. However the course can be made more relevant with the current job market in mind.

Well i chose sociology as i loved the subject. This discourse changed my way of viewing the world. This curriculum prepares us for real-world situations alot. Well in our college it could be a little better if they started teachong more of indian sociology other than only western sociology

From 2nd year of college students are eligible for placement as currently iam in 1st year I got no offers from placement and the students need minimum of 75% to be in a placement and my plans is to get into jobs after the degree

Placements in our college are very brilliant but there's a downside to it'. If you do bcom from Sxc cal either morning or evening batch, you are going to have an amazing and stable financial situation. But in English , don't expect earning a big salary. In campus placements exist for English students as professors. Many (almost all) of our professors are ex students of st Xavier's Calcutta.

My course has total 6 subjects in 1st semester. 2 major subjects which are Introduction to Poltical Theory and Introduction to Indian Constitution and Government. I have opted for History as my minor subject. We have compulsory environment studies and multidisciplinary subject (studying Indian Diaspora ), and we need to choose modern indian language from either of the three - English, Hindi, and Bengali, whichever language you studied in class 10 will be your mil subject so I have English as my mil.

My course is very limited with in the walls of theory and facts however it is preparing for my future endeavours and tranning my level of education and experience Through which I can be the best of myself

As for extracurricular activities, it offers extravagant opportunities and has societies and cells be it drama, management, entrepreneurship, dance etc It conducts debate competitions, dance, other more educational events too

There is a 4 years Curriculum Course of B.A Hons in English with 8 semesters. But however, we can discontinue the classes after 3 years with only a bachelor's degree. If we wish to continue the classes after 3 years, we can opt for research which will only be eligible to students with a minimum 75% aggregate in 3 semesters, and get an honors degree with research after the 4th year. We can also take it without research and get an honors degree. It provides internships that can be added to our resume. The course needs to provide more subject options such as library science, human rights, psychology, and education. The exams are very difficult and tough to score. Too many assignments and not much time is given to complete them. The credits are very difficult to score.
