Faculty:

Xaveirs has excellent faculty, all of them experts of their fields, they are dedicated to teach, always there to help and back students with industry insights. Every dept has multiple teachers, for political science we have 3 teachers in the dept which makes ratio 3:50, but in statistics 6 teachers for 20 students thus the ratio there is 6:20, there is no uniformity in number of teachers in each course.

The Vibrant Life at St. Xavier's Mumbai

The faculty is top-notch. Most of the teachers are very nice and understanding, and they teach quite well. They're well qualified, with degrees from reputed universities.

I can vouch for the faculty of BMS, they're extremely good at teaching and are also approachable. You can freely visit them during the office hours to ask doubts or to just have a chat as well. You can also connect with them via email. Since the class size of BMS is less, the teachers pay attention to each and every student. As for exams, per semsester there are three assesments: CIA 1, CIA 2 and End Sem exams. CIA 1 is of 20 marks and is usually a written test. CIA 2 is also of 20 marks and it's some form of assignment (presentation, documentary making, etc). 2 credit subjects have only 1 CIA. End sems are of 60 marks. The exams are difficult because of the academic rigor of the college.

The Pros and Cons of the Xavier's Way of Life

The teaching faculty is also very excellent in my experience, the department of Sociology and Psychology is the best in this college. The coursework one has to do in Xavier's is quite rigorous and demanding but also rewarding at the same time.

The faculty members are a bit less as compared to the number of students in a particular course. For example the history department only has two professors and the Hindi department only has one professor. This might lead to increased strain and workload on these faculty members. The course structure for BA includes six semesters with two CIA (Continuous Internal Assessment) exams per semester and one end semester exam per semester. Depending on the course the marking schemes and the difficulty of the exams differ. Mostly everyone passes but a few students do end up with KTs. But as far as I know the course curriculum is very relevant. The best department in my opinion is the Sociology department, but I may be biased because I am from that department. But the teachers are very sweet, enthusiastic and approachable people who excel at their jobs. Second best department would be the Psychology department faculty. They are also very kind-hearted and fun to work with. A department that I dislike would be the Economics and Statistics department, the faculty there is known to be very cold and detached from their students. As for the rest of the departments they are pretty okay. The BSc departments also don't have a great reputation at Xavier's.

St Xaviers out of the movies

The faculty to student ratio for my course is pretty bad as I have one proffesor who is a phd english proffesor taking classes for bcom students and he takes around 5-6 lectures if all combined the other proffesors are fine but i dont find the classes interesting The best facilities are the famous quad and the woods where we do a lot of activities There are exams for all classes so for me around 7 exams total, they are at a higher difficulty if rated Alot of studentd fail to clear the exams because of the blend of low economy and high economy students and also attendence

true xavier's

Xavier's provides students lots of opportunities, both academically and otherwise to grow personally and professionally through workshops and guest lectures. in summary it's a blend of learning and personal growth.

Dislikes

As a student of mass media I feel like the faculty for the course is not correctly equipped for handling a large class of 70 people. the course syllabus is largely focused on theoretical portions rather than practical aspects of media.

The course structures for BA, BSc, BMS are well-designed to include theoretical and practical knowledge. but for the BA MCJ course, the structure is not satisfactory. the faculty for my course, even though they are full of knowledge aren't able to express their knowledge. for most of the other courses the faculty is well equipped for the curriculum. In BAMCJ there are 4 faculty and several other guest lecturers. The faculty is very approachable and understanding. for this course, there are mainly projects rather than exams. normally in a year, there are 6 exams 2 CIAs and the first end-semester exam followed by two more CIAs and another end-semester exam. The majority of the students pass all of the exams, the failures are mostly due to lack of attendance, as the college requires minimum of 75 percent attendence each semester.
