The heart of dream city Mumbai

I choose St. Xavier's College, Kolkata because it is one of the best colleges of not only Kolkata but it is one of the best colleges in India. The admission was merit-based so I had no problem in getting into the college. The merits of this college are as follows: 1. The teachers here are very helpful and encouraging. 2. The infrastructure of the college is very fascinating. 3. The commerce faculty of the college is very good. 4. The college provides us with many opportunities via different socities, clubs and cells to interact with different people. 5. The college and the fests of my college grabs the attention of the whole city. The demerits of the college are as follows: 1. The attendance requirement of the college is very high. 2. The teachers are a bit strict.

I chose B.Com Hons. because I'm a student of commerce background and I have a deep interest in this field. Choosing B.com Hons. at this level would surely do me good in future. The exams were a bit late but we did not have any problem in giving the exams because we were so well trained beforehand by the faculty members. Also, the online exams were kind of easy and not very hectic.

The placement percentage of the college is around 94%. The average salary package offered for freshers is 1.5 LPA. The highest salary package offered can be up to 4 LPA, and the lowest salary package offered is around 1 LPA. All interested students get internships in various research laboratories, diagnostic companies, food and water industries and also in various biotech and pharmaceutical companies. Some of the top recruiting companies include Medreich, Indoco, BCIL, Suraksha Diagnostic, Lal Pathlabs, various CSIR and DBT research institutes all over India, Biocon, etc. Top roles are mostly offered in the research and development wing of industries and PhD supervisor, principal investigator, quality control, clinical analysis, etc.

The fee of my college is quite high because it's not a full government college and the whole of the fundings are not received by the government as it's a semi-government college. The fee for 1 semester is around 25,000 and the fee for the whole year is around 45,000. The fees for the whole course is around 1,30,000. There is some reduction in the fees for the weaker section of the society. The reserved category of students enjoys some of the benefits.

Xavotsav is the annual national-level cultural fest organized by St. Xavier's College. It is an exciting college fest that is sponsored by popular brands such as Jet Airways and Skybags. It hosts a wide variety of events such as treasure hunts, music shows, concerts and dance performances. It is a 3-day college festival and is generally celebrated in the month of January. The different socities and clubs help us to build our personality and give us many opportunities to work and help us to know our intrest areas.
