Likes
- The PR course is entirely build on industry feedbacks and therefore we are taught what is most relevant and advanced in the PR industry. They aim at making you not just a PR Professional but a communication profesional in all sense.
- PR is a women dominated industry, therefore the girls to the boys ratio was 2:8. The faculty that came to teach us were all leading Professionals of PR industry. CEOs and other C suites came to give lectures to us in specialised modules
Dislikes
- As this was a course of 10 months, the schedule for classes was very hectic sometimes and we needed to attend classes from 9.30 Am to 8.30 pm on majority of the days
- The fees that I paid that time was affordable for me, but the new fees is a little expensive and will be hard for some people to afford. But it is still very less compared to the other colleges.
Placement Experience:
The placements of PRCC course in XIC are 100% which makes it an excellent college to be in. Leading PR agencies like Adfactors, Genesis, Avian etc come here for the placements. The average package is 5lpa for PR
Likes
- The infrastructure of the college, the beautiful buildings
- The Bollywood shooting spot which made Xavier's so famous
Dislikes
- The campus life in Xavier's is something that I didn't get.
- The clubs and social groups were very biased.
Placement Experience:
Yes, Xavier's does offer placements to students of all courses but the students of BMS, BA economics and BScIT courses get placed the most. The placement process starts from the third year, 5th semester. The highest package offered is around 24LPA and the least would be 4-5LPA. Around 30% of students get placed out of the people who option for placements.
Likes
- the college has a very good atmosphere all around , very open minded and you would find many people helping each other , even the people they dont know. the campus is also very beautiful and very peaceful , you can find alot of peace.
- another good thing about xaviers is , the extra curricular activites and the way it develops you as a person. you have many things to do in college , join various clubs , or any sport team or be a part of the student council
Dislikes
- the academic and extra curricular competition is very intense and can be pressurizing at times to excel. being in mumbai , travelling during peak hours is one of the biggest challenges anyone can ever face
- during fests there is no crowd management and it could get over crowded easily. even for tickets you have to wait for a long time , there is no smooth procedure
Course Curriculum Overview:
I decided to choose this course because i thought AI and IT would be the future of the plnet as technology goes on advancing. the course does prepare you well enough to face real world applications but even you have to put in the hard yards by innovative thinking and creating something extraordinary. the course has a lot of scope for improvement espically in the area of learning and teaching. the subjects have a very limited time to master which is very difficult to cope up with and also it doesnt go in detail of every subject. instead have a course where students select their strong subjects and focus on it entirely. choosing subjects or finding out which subject is he/she strong in can be quite frustating at times. The exam timings and its pattern is fine where you get 2 unit tests and a final semester paper and you require overall 40 marks out of 100 to pass.
Likes
- The crowd was a very indulging and never made any one feel left out.
- The professors are very helpful and engaging with the students. The principal and vice principal are kind enough to help us in our tough times
Dislikes
- There should be a play ground considering the fact that we have sports enthusiasts around the campus.
- Without id card students shouldn't be fined off.
Placement Experience:
from 4th Semester students become eligible to sit for placements. Deloitte, Accenture, Zomato are the very few of the companies that offer placements in our college The highest package is usually with the Bsc IT field students. One of their Student gained the package of 22 LPA. Above 8 or 9 CGPA My plans are to join the government sector after degree
Likes
- The crowd of the college is very good.There is no ragging of anything of that sort .Seniors are very helpful.
- All activities, committees, and fests including Malhar is conducted fully by students.
Dislikes
- Placement opportunities are less than what is believed.Even though many companies visit they take only very few people
- The campus has a strict dress policy.You have to wear ID cards at all times and sleeveless dress,shorts and everything is not allowed.
Placement Experience:
The college does have a functioning placement cell .And many global MNCs like Accenture,Bain and Condo visit but they take only very few applicants.The rest are left to find jobs on their own.Many students choose to go for higher studies also.
Likes
- The faculty is very good at their subjects and very approachable.
- The extra curricular activities is extensive and fun and even compulsory which helps us improve our talents .
Dislikes
- The dress code is extremely strict and unnecessary
- The class timings are a little hard to manage
Course Curriculum Overview:
Some aspects of the curriculum that influenced my decision to choose this course is my intrest in the subject and also the efficiency of the faculty in Xavier's . The curriculum is very practical based and helps us for real world applications and offers internships that prepares us for the corporate world . Sometimes the timings of the course are hard to cope up with . The only improvement could be in the timings and the hectic schedule.
Likes

- The college has many events happening hence the college life never feels dull as we can be part of the event and engage by ether participating or being in the organising side
Dislikes
- The college has mandatory ecc points where one has to participate in a lot of events and each events gives 5 to 10 points each and we have to get a quota of 60min other wise passing certificate wouldn't be given
- It has mandatory attendance of 75% and social service hours of 120 which is not a lot coupled with college work it gets tiring and too hard to keep up with the work and can get exhausting for students
Placement Experience:
There is a placement cell in the college which looks after student internship and placements students can apply for internships from the 2nd year of their course onwards as for placemts they can apply in their last year, but to apply for placement students have to pay a fee of 1500rs to be added in the group for placement from where they can apply, almost 60 % of students are placed from the college getting average lpa around 600000 and many companies such as Bane, McKinsey, Morgan Stanley,Zomato etc come for placement and as well as internship many of my friends have recived and PPO as well after doing their Internship In their 2nd year as welli personally plan to go for further studies abroad after college to gain more experience and explore career as I still have to decided on what I want to do so the best cou8would be for me to go explore and get a wider perceptive
Likes
- The faculty is very approachable and helpful. You can always write a mail if you have any doubts regarding literally anything!
Dislikes
- The first year degree college timings are a little odd due to NEP, but later you get used to it
- Student aren’t allowed to use the elevator and must use stairs only 😭
Course Curriculum Overview:
I'm studying History and Archaeo and I'm interested in that field. The methods used for teaching are PPTs, Showing us various archaeological structures in our very own college museum, etc. The timing and syllabus for exams is based on what the professors teach and they prepare us well for it
Likes
- I really liked the library of the college it is very beautiful with gothic architecture and rich histroy dating back to decades.
- I loved the canteen as it has food from all over the country. The cuisines and food are amazing.
Dislikes
- I didnt like the non-teaching staff as they are kind of strict and stiff.
- The course this year was a bit confusing due to the new education policy amendments.
Course Curriculum Overview:
The course has changed a lot from last year due to the NEP guidelines. The new curriculum provides cross-faculty minor courses through which we learn about not only our course but a completely different one too. It is a very new model of timetable and we are the experiment batch. Some suggestions I would give are to provide minors which are related to our subject so that it would be useful to us in future also providing better options in choosing electives. One positive I found is the honours programming which gives us the option to directly take Phd once done with our bachelors. Also the free exit system is also helpful.
