Review On St.Xavier's College

This is the college which provides the best possible education in many of the fields taught in the college. It comes on the top 10 lists of many surveys of excellence in teaching. Also the environment of the college is so good it makes the students comfortable and let them be in their zone. And with qualified faculties, this might be a dream place for any aspirant for excellence.

It's a amalgamation of Statistics, Maths and Computer Science fields. The exam structure is semester based wherein equal weightage for theory and practicals of each subjects. The final semester is an internship at any major TCS enterprise.

The programme is in partnership with Tata Consultancy Services. And our placements are based on the internship which we perform in our final semester. The internship is in itself given to students who have an aggregate of 60% in every level of education i.e., 10th,12th,degree and aggregate in post graduation.

Our college has a very proud cultural and non-academic environment. We celebrate various festivals in our college, have special seminars, cultural events, sports fests and tournaments. We also have yearly students excahnge program with different colleges from other places.

As this is a self financed course, the fees might feel high for lower middle classes. But what the course has to offer is worth every much of it. The fees is semester based which consists of tuition and lab fees. These comes are 40,000 per semester.

I haven't availed any of the scholarship. But there is scholarship and award programs for exemplary work in academics for students who perform well. Also there are various cash prizes for deserving students who show various skills.

The laboratory of the college is exemplary. Our computer lab is air conditioned and also have system with latest technological updates. Also as we perform high intensity coding, the need of superior workstations is a must. And the equipment of the college is quite good. There aremany extracurricular activities. There are cultural and sports related activities.

No, I haven't opted for hostel. But there is hostel for students, and it is in the campus itself. The hostel is managed by the same college administration and there are bith for boys and girls. But the girls hostel is not in the college campus. It is half a mile from the college. The infrastructure of the hostel is very good.

There is a very strong active alumni group of the college. Half of the students who apply here are through word of mouth from the passed out students. Also senior students are really helpful in adjusting to the new college environment. They conduct an orientation programme at the advent of new academic year for new students and also a freshers party for the same.

My admission was based on my graduation credentials and interview with the department head. As I was an engineer in Information Technology it was easy for me to get admission to this College. Also they checked for my previous study curriculum.

The faculty of the college is much qualified and knowledgeable. As the course is new,most of our professors are from different faculties who are teaching in the college. The subjects related to statistics are taught by professors from statistics department, likewise for maths and computer science. Also we have guest lectures who are very famous in their fields.
