ST Xavier's Kolkata, ANIMATION

Reviewed on Dec 8, 2015

Remarks

I personally love my college. It is extremely well-maintained with good teachers and many facilities which most other places do not have. The students are not too concerned about politics and we are more academically oriented. Bullying is rare and is quickly addressed. The teachers and staff are concerned for students and compassionate.

Entrance Preview

I gave the NID entrance exam as well as the entrance exam for St. Xavier's animation course. I did not exactly get as score in the Xavier's entrance exam as it was not provided, but my name was on the list.

Course Curriculum Overview

The course curriculum is challenging and extremely fun to do. It is very interesting and the pass courses I have film studies have a lot of scope to explore further.

College Events

We have several fests and a large christmas ceremony. Our biggest fest is Xavotsav which is extremely cool and has a huge number of fun events in them. We love this event.

Fee Structure And Facilities

The fee structure is reasonable it is definitely not cheap but we are supposed to pay it quarterly and there are options for poorer students to get some benefits.

Fees and Financial Aid

We have scholarships from poor students and also student loan options from the college. I did not have to take it but several do.

Campus Life

We have many different societies and other options there is a very strong film society,theatrical society,English academy,debating society and its fun.

Hostel Facilities

As I have not studied from a hostel I have no clue. However I have heard from friends who stay there that it is quite good.

External Expense: Rs.7000 - Rs.10000

Alumni/Alumna

My seniors are mostly chilled out. My sister passed out of here a few years ago and she regularly joins alumni meets. The structure of networking is very open and clear.

Exam Structure

The exam structure is balanced between class tests,mid terms,end terms,report writings and other projects. We are kept challenged but the work pressure is not monstrous, which is great.

Faculty

The faculty is great and we love interacting with them. They are smart compassionate and I love the fact that they are very keen on student feedback.

Dislikes

The area of the campus is small leads to chaos. Which will be averted after shifting to new campus
Due to the small campus sitting places are very small
Hostel facilities and rooms are very poor.

Placement Experience:

2nd year students are eligible for the campus placement. Sai, Hetero, mendine, dr. Reddys etc companies visities for the campus placement. Offers ranges from 5-12 lpa. 60% students gets placed, 10% goes for higher studies and others get job off campus in my department. Other departments has 100% placement. My plans are pHd from Niper as it provides vast knowledge and instrumental exposure.

The Techno Experience

Likes

Practical Exposure with hands on training is always good for personal growth
The laboratories were well equipped with state of the art instruments
Entrepreneurship was encouraged and it really helped us with designing future start ups.

Dislikes

Lack of scholarships for the needy is one thing that needed to be worked on.
There was a distinct lack of encouragement to pursue extracurricular activity.
Sometimes it felt like it would have helped if we had a mental health counsellor onboard with the department.

Placement Experience:

Techno India University has a strong campus placement. Several students got jobs during the last semester, and I am one of them. Some others choose to wait for better opportunities. Some joined good startups. The package was nominal as we were all freshers. After getting my degree, I planned to pursue corporate experience and then join a lab for my PhD.

Canteens, Playground, Books shops are near or inside the Campus with Department and Central Library with access to many books and online resources and WiFi

Dislikes

Politics is on peak since great colleges in india such as JNU are engaged in political activities

Not all courses provides placements. But Placements are often common in departments such as Geology, for other departments, faculties can provide letters of recommendations and absorb as PhD scolars after PG completion and satisfactory performance

My thoughts on our beloved Sidho Kanho Birsha University.

Likes

The most I liked about my university is the infrastructure and availability of facilities for our studies.
Second thing I like are our professors . They help us in every aspect of our educational or personal life .
Third thing I like the most is my batchmates who gives me encouragement for pursuing my studies.

Dislikes

The university is a bit far from the Purulia city . So the connectivity is a problem.
I think if we get some extra hours of the lab facilities, that will be great.
Water purifier are available in some of the floors I think the number should be increased.

Placement Experience:

The campus placement of our university is quite good and it is getting better day by day. Especially our chemistry department is doing great in this field. Last year our dept almost hit 100% placements and the highest package was of 5 lpa. I am planning to peruse my PhD after MSc.

Quite Study Environment, High tech classrooms

I chose this college over other colleges due to its high reputation, especially regarding the B.Com course. The college also has a very prestigious range of alumni and good placement opportunities. It consistently ranks among the top colleges in our country, most recently gaining the 6th position on the NIRF scale. The college also has a well-reputed faculty and a record of good teaching. The college admission process was fairly simple. It was an online process - and included filling up a detailed admission form along with online submission of necessary documents. After that came the payment of the application fee. The selection lists containing the names of selected students came out a few weeks later, with a link for the payment of the admission fee for the first semester. Following that was the physical verification of documents, on completion of which the admission process was formally complete....Read More

St. Xavier's- The Dream College

Choosing this College, was hands down the best decision for my career aspects. It comes under top 10 universities. As it is located in the heart of Kolkata, that makes it more amazing. Kolkata is truly a City of Joy. Experiencing my College life here in Kolkara, with a Xaverian tag, is a dream of a lot of students. Comparing most of the parameters, Xavier's has always proven to top the list....Read More

St Xavier's College is the best

I would like to start with these college facilities: Faculties are well experienced and with good knowledge and have proper communication way. The infrastructure is of this college is the best I . Classrooms are equipped with AC in summer and are huge to prevent suffocating. Admission is a very easy process here with less paperwork, have to simply apply online or fill forms and each form costs 1000 (at my time). Have to carry results and certificates of other exams and the minimum marks are required to get selected. And thereafter give a written test on the campus and thereafter give an interview over there. If you will be qualified they may get in touch with you through mobile and email also. The forms are out in the month of June and the dates are fluctuating. Before taking admission I have done a lot of research through friends and have also seen its review on the website Collegedunia. These college facilities are good and the education provided is best. The admission fees are quite heavier....Read More

The discipline in the college is admirable. Lack of political activities has made it what a college exists for in the first place, that is, pursuing higher studies. Every year, Semester VI student is given a chance to provide a thorough, detailed review and feedback of the college without any fear of persecution. This is truly remarkable....Read More
