being honest i had applied in various colleges for eg: Kelkar , Khalsa , Ruparel and so on but i never got in any of the colleges because i had less marks in maths in my 12th std board exams. according to university rules you need atleast 50% which i didnt have and so couldnt make it. I got in xaviers because it is autonomous and they had a entrance exam , i got admission in special category i.e. ex servicemen quota. i was trying to find colleges with good cricket teams but didnt get any college. Xaviers was my first and last option then. Admission process is very simple for bsc it, you have a an entrance exam, they take the aggregate of that exam and your 12th std marks , then a merit list comes out , theres a christan quota, special quota, student with disabilites and general quota. based on the merit you get in.

the fees for first year students is 50000 and it slightly reduces to 47000 in the second year but rises again in the third year and goes to 52000. the free structure is very complex which i as follows : Admission processing fees - 250rs ,computer lab fees - 5000rs, computer practical fees -4000rs, cum marksheet and passing certificate - 100rs, development fees - 750rs, exam fees - 5000rs , gymkhana and library fees - 900rs, extra curricular activity and project fees -6500rs, tuition fees - 28439rs , convocation and utility fees - 750rs and there are many other small fees. other courses like plain bsc have around 6000-10000rs as their yearly fees , similar for ba students. there isnt Financial aid as such but big well developed compaines come in for placements and there are many who get a package of 22lac per annum,

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.
