Specific aspects of choosing the course was the love and passion towards nature and plants with environment. The faculty and students should allowed to play all together and try to spend time with each other. In this way a student and faculty will have a good bonding and connection. The area of improvement in course curriculum and teaching methods are very good and likely to get better. The frequency and timings of exam along with perspective on their difficulties level are moderate level and provide each types of questions and try to solve each question with little amount of answers correct.
The college has a Placement Cell where a student has to register. Companies come to college and conduct interviews. College does not provide internship. Depending on the course the package given by the companies vary.
The course touches on all the aspects that is needed for industry purposes completely. There are two CIAs and one end semester exam. Each CIA is of 20 marks each. The first one is written while the second one is either objective type questions, projects or presentations. The end semester exam is of 60 marks. The student needs to get a combined of 40 marks to pass the subject in a particular semester.
There are only a few companies that visit college for job placements in the field of Microbiology. The alumni networking for job referrals is very good. They help you understand where and how to get the desired job in their particular fields.
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.
Xavier's is a college where all the companies come together to provide different types of jobs according to the level of calibre of the deserved students. They prefer knowledgeable and hardworking candidates for the job. The lowest salary you may get is 6-7 lacks per year. And the maximum pay depends on your ability and skill. The companies are big enough to start. Big brands like Google, Wipro, etc come for placements. Even I got placed and joined a company (I won't take the name though) with a monthly salary of 30000 but since I wanted to pursue higher studies so I dropped out of it after attending 2-3 days and realized I cant manage both the things together. For the senior batch, the packages offered went from 3 LPA to 9 LPA.
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.
Students become eligible for campus placements in their third year of college. the college provides high-end placement opportunities including companies such as accenture, Bane, and Co. etc. Even though these are amazing opportunities the companies pick only very less students for their placements. last year Unilever had given placement to one of the students studying BMS. Students need alteast 9 cgpa to usually get these placements along with other experiences and talents that they possess.
When I had read the course brochure, it highlighted a broad range of both theoretical and practical approach on media studies and journalism. but for the past two year, I have noticed that they have been teaching a few similar topics repeatedly. the practical subject teachers for adobe illustrator and Indesign were assigned way into the semester and we happened to lose a lot of time learning the softwares. the course needs more real life based subjects such as search engine optimisations etc. so that it may be useful in real-life. exams are mostly medium to hard level and there are 6 exams per year, including two end semester exams and 4 CIA exams. for my course the cia exams are mostly project based rather than written exams.
we can apply for placements during a third year and students without backlog are eligible to apply for the placements which are available in the college. The companies that visited our college during my third year are Deloitte KP MGJP Morgan EY and other multinational companies, the highest package that was offered to a Student in our college was 36,00,000 per annum and the average package was eight lakh and the percentage of students getting placed in our college is very high due to our excellence and knowledge. My plan after getting this degree to pursue masters in ancient history, and I'm also planning to go abroad to countries like Ireland, UK for my higher studies.
