Me about xaviers as a Xavierite

Fee structure of my is overall good if we take a look at college infrastructure and somewhat advance laboratory techniques machineinary available.My course is MSc Botany with specialization in Taxonomy and phytochemistry and if we take look at the perks of my college having the Blatter herbarium situated at the very same place as a student I am having access to it in free of charges.As we look at concession thing I only know about the Christian minority concession also as I do not have any classmate of the same I am clueless about the percentage of the concession.for the first year of MSc I have paid ?19500 and ?20000 for second year.As far as the scholarship are concerned needy,eligible and merit based scholarship are there which are distributed on the occasion of st.ignatius memorial day. Being in need I received the scholarship for girl eligible quota this year to provide myself for the academic excursion of botanical field. Breakdown of my fee infrastructure as follows Admission Processing Fees= ?250 Alumni Association Fees= ?25 Computer / Internet Fees= ?1000 Cumulative Marksheet & Passing Certificate= ?100 Development Fees= ? 750 Disaster Relief Fund= ?10 E-Charges= ?20 E-Suvidha= ?50 Exam Fees= ?6000 Gymkhana Fees= ?400 Laboratory Fees= ? 8000 Library Fees= ?500 N.S.S.

Life as a Xavierite

Dislikes

Attendence criteria is minimum 75% for every single paper.
Constant assessments and evaluation pattern.

The fees for the current year for M.Sc in Botany is Rs. 20,000. This includes tuition fees, Laboratory fees, Gymkhana fees, Library and alumni association fees, admission fees, etc. apart from this expenses on trips and excursions are not covered in this structure. Various scholarships are available depending on caste and merit. SBF or Student Beneficiary Fund is one such type of scholarship provided to deserving students to aid their expenses of field trips, etc. Railway concession is provided. The payment mode of fees is online and no installments available. If needed cheque mode also available.

Best college if you get in

Likes

There are fields trip organised every semester with very nominal fees

Attendence is very strictly followed, you may get debarred if not present enough.

The college is empowered autonomous and the fees is quite affordable according to the status ie 20000 per semester. There is no resevation for out of Maharashtra students however there is reservations for Maharashtra residents. There are govt. scholarships that you can avail through more info on the govt. portals only if you are Maharashtra resident.

Zena Mendes's Review On St. Xavier's College, Mumbai

Course Curriculum Overview:

The syllabus of the course is a little vast as it covers a wide range of topics. But it is well up to date and includes topics such as recent discoveries and the latest techniques used in the field etc. Due to the ongoing situation we didn't get to visit any industrial areas, but there were visits scheduled. The previous years batch did visit a couple of industries and also got to carry out their internships at some of them.The faculty is really good and do their best to give us the best learning experience.

Abigayle's Review On St. Xavier's College, Mumbai

We had a very extensive syllabus with a great deal of industrial exposure. Faculty is very well versed with the present workings of the industry and the new research findings. Dr. Aparna Talekar, Dr. Pampi Chakraborty and Ms. Sangeetha Chavan were some of the good teachers with such wide variety of knowledge.
