St Xavier's Mumbai Reviews on Placements, Faculty and Facilities

For mass media especially, there's few to no placements but it's easy to find your own placement if you flaunt your course and the soft skills that they equip you with. Internships are something that for mass media courses the college is keen on, they've also made it a part of the marking system.

The course curriculum is designed in a way that allows it to be updated frequently to reflect all the latest developments in media. It truly helps us to be ready for the real world because it is more on the practical side. Numerous facets of journalism and public communication are included in the curriculum, including sociology, audiovisual production, radio, and cinema appreciation.These disciplines are also taught using incredibly inventive and imaginative techniques. Every semester, there are two internal exams in addition to the main one.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.
