Remarks

The college is well established and filled with a great crowd and great teachers. The management isn't very well run, it is slow and somewhat difficult to work with. However the pros definitely out way the cons. It's a great school.

Entrance Preview

No entrance exam. Only 10th and 12th standard marks. Having a math background helped. I got a perfect 10 cgpa in cbse for 10th and 90.2% in hsc maharashtra for 12th. I studied in the same college for JC.

Course Curriculum Overview

4

BA has first year 3 subjects, second year 2 and third year 1. There are 3-4 subject options for each giving about 9-12 subject options. I personally went for eco stats psych.

Internships Opportunities

Haven't asked for internship yet however being in mumbai with a great reputation, xaviers has a number of great companies that works with it for placements and internships.

Placement Experience

4.5

Economics had the best on campus placements that begin in the first sem if the third year. A no. Of great companies from all over india, mainly NCR and mumbai offer good placements with starting salaries of 12 lakh pa. Companies like Mckinley, Tatas etc.

College Events

4.5

Famous for malhar, the annual college fest, each dept has its own fest like ithaka for the literature dept, Zeitgeist for BMM etc. Paticipation is huge and the fests are the biggest and best known in mumbai. College fests and feasts are celebrated as well.

Fee Structure And Facilities

Being a government backed college fees is very low. Around 6000 per subject is the fees resulting in it falling in the less than 1 lakh a year category easily.

Campus Life

3.5

With about a 65:35 female to male ratio, the atmosphere is calm and no worries of tolerance etc. There is a strict dress code of no bare should es or ankles and it is religiously followed. Even though it is a jesuit college, there is no problem with religion etc and it is a calm and introspective college. Everyone is in their own bubble, it's friendly and bullying on any grounds is rare.

Hostel Facilities

2.5

The hostel is an oly boys hostel with no mess. The canteen exists which is well stocked. Everything from pasta, pizza, Chinese, chaat, dosa etc exist and nothing costs more than Rs 90. It is cheap sanitary and good.

Alumni/Alumna

The alumni network is stromg. Being such a well established school the students stick together and there is no real bullying or ragging or anything of that sort.

Faculty

4

The faculty is very good. The psychology and economics departments are the best hands down. The principal is also an ex economics HOD which helps put eco in the forefront.

Course Curriculum Overview:

Quite substandard and below average. Prioritised rote learning over critical thinking. Just a rubber stamp for a degree. No actual education ever took place. Exams were anually or bi annually. Exams were difficult if you cannot write 30 pages in 3 hours.

Course Curriculum Overview:

The curriculam is designed for all round development of the student and to make that person an expert in that field, these aspects influeneced me to choose it. Very well, with extra paper of real world application on each subject it ensures that we take something from the course and become industry ready The teachings methods and cirriculam are excellent I don't think any changes are required Exams are all year round, every month and are extremly difficult to deal with, as Xavier's bar is very high.

Remarks:

Yes, there is no specific place where we get to know that whether the college is open or not on a specific day like the day which has been declared closed by the government. The college doesn’t provide this facility for us. We have to move all towards our home to the college to get this thing.
