Life's different for everyone in Xavier's

The course curriculum is formed in such a manner that it gets updated very often to include all the new things in media. As it is more to the practical side it really helps us to be prepared for the real world. The curriculum includes various aspects of mass communication and journalism like radio, audio visual production, film appreciation, sociology,etc..The teaching methods for these subjects are also very innovative and creative. There are two internal and one main sem exam conducted for every semester.

The college did have a internship placement cell which shared opportunities accross various fields for students. Some of them had stipends as well. Jp Morgan, Accenture are few of the companies which offered work.

Yes, Xavier's does offer placements to students of all courses but the students of BMS, BA economics and BScIT courses get placed the most. The placement process starts from the third year, 5th semester. The highest package offered is around 24LPA and the least would be 4-5LPA. Around 30% of students get placed out of the people who option for placements.

The fees for BAMCJ the first year was around 37,000 in 2022, then in the second year the fees was 35,571 and in the last year the fees was 52000. This year the fees of all the courses had increased this year(2024) and now the first year fees for BAMCJ is 72000, for the second year it is around 50k-60k and for third year it is 52000. Their was an entrance exam for BAMCJ, BMS and BSCIT courses which was conducted across various cities. The registration fees for application process was around 500.

The overall experience for me was not that great. Colleges in Mumbai do not have much of a campus life (except IIT Bombay ofc) and all the fests were also extremely commercial. The most famous fests would be Malhar, Zeitgeist, MVM, Zephyrus, etc. As for the library it is pretty good in terms of its availability of academic books and journals. The technical facilities available are also pretty decent. In terms of sports Xavier's had basketball, volleyball football and badminton competitions and for extra curricular activities Xavier's had a department known as ECC which involves a mandatory amount of points which students have to collect every year. There are different groups and clubs like social service league, AICUF, student council, etc.. but again I believe that these are not that greatly organised and are biased.

I had applied in colleges accross different cities like, Madras Christian College (Chennai), Sacred heart college (kochi), Wilson college (Mumbai), etc. I chose St. Xavier's College as that was my first preference and i always wanted to explore Mumbai and also Xavier's had such a good name which made it more easier to choose it from the rest.

The faculty members for my course which is BAMCJ are really great. It was leaded by late Perriyanayagi Subramanian who built this course and the whole department in such a way that it still stands strong. Even after her death the department is still doing its work very well, they appoint professionals from different areas of work to teach its students. BAMCJ is more of a practical based course which includes projects and practical application works rather than theory. The course curriculum keeps changing to keep up with the current world as the course itself is media related which keeps getting updated. Most students usually clear all the exams as they're more practical based. Even most of the few theory subjects are taught in such a engaging manner that people find it interesting.
