Remarks

My college is a college of excellence and a heritage college. It stresses on the need for discipline and advocates its students to do the same. Other than that, the staff and faculty are quite helpful and down to earth. Overall, this is a life you would wish for.

Course Curriculum Overview

4.5

The curriculum covers everything it can in three years and prepares us for the outside market. It is very detailed and informative. The exam structure is semester based. We have 2 semester exams and each semester has a mid semester exam.

Placement Experience

4.5

Yes, the scope of placements are really good. The Placement Officer and his team works day and night to accommodate new companies whenever possible. Other than this there's a lot of intership offers that are meted out to the students. The stipend range from 5000 to 50000.

College Events

4.5

St. Xavier's College has more than 84 fests throughout the year. The best among them is Xavotsav, which is the biggest cultural fest of Eastern India. There are a lot of vernacular, commerce and science societies that have their own fests with a lot of student participation.

Fee Structure And Facilities

The fee structure is quite feasible. A year or two ago the fees were hiked but once the students requested, they were brought down. There are government sponsored courses which are cheaper. If your course is self-sponsored, the fees are a tad bit higher.

Fees and Financial Aid

There are a lot of scholarships that are available to the students. The government scholarships are well advertised in here so that the students can avail them. Apart from that the fees are okay enough to not take loans.

Admission

Once the board results are out, students have to fill up the college form online at www.sxccal.edu.Post this, based on the trends, the college will publish a merit list. If your name is in the list you'll have to report on a particular date as given in the list and go through the admission documentation. If your name is in the list and you have the marks that you had provided in the form, your admission is inevitable.

Placement Experience:

People who major in my department usually opt for masters over placement not because of this college but because overall industrial or academic opportunities are better with a pg degree. Masters from this college is not recommended as i have heard so from my seniors. Some of my seniors managed to crack competitives and secure MSc seats at great places. Training and Placement cell had a good coordinator previously but now its almost non existent. Companies do come and hire Bpharm, Mpharm and MSc candidates. Packages are below average. Only Nestle pays well. But if you do well you'll eventually climb up the corportate ladder. From the time i am here i have not heard of any BSc candidate getting placed. Most go for higher studies.

Placement Experience:

The average package offered for such roles ranges between ?2–3 LPA, while the highest package offered to a BSc student is around ?4 LPA, depending on skills and specialization. Overall, around 15–20% of BSc students get placed through campus drives, and many students rely on off-campus opportunities.

Course Curriculum Overview:

The course curriculum was well thought out as per me but there were subjects that i found absolutely unnecessary. Subjects like history evs and clc were in no way related to my course. Coming to the main subjects Design, Printing, Photography and film and Media Training were absolutely necessary for my course and whilst the faculty for some of these subjects were really bad, some were good. It is also important to mention none of these subjects actually helped us prepare for the real world. Instead internships and freelance helped us more than these subjects could ever do. Exams were held bi monthly to keep track of what we learnt and every 6 months we had our semester exams. Overall if you want to be a media professional INTERNSHIPS AND JOBS WILL HELP YOU MORE THAN A COLLEGE WILL. I am biased on this opinion as my college didnt provide me with the correct guidance and support i needed to make it in the real world.

Course Curriculum Overview:

* It's all about practical knowledge, we are getting from this course and another aspect is if you wants to make your career in research or lecturer then you should go for it. *No changes required in teaching methods but if college will provide hostel facilities and campus requirement drive, then it will better for candidates.
