What Students Say?
Likes
- NCC and NSS - It was mandatory for students to participate in atleast one of them and they also provide NCC exam certificates and NSS services certificate. And through the college you can actually apply for Army training.This contains social credits.
- Every student has to participate atleast in one activity like college dance group, college music band, etc. to encourage them on their non-academic side. Participation also contains non-academic credits.
Dislikes
- Early morning lectures... 🥹 If you're in the morning section so I changed to bcom evening.
- A little strict than other colleges. But I guess that it is necessary to maintain the decorum of the college.
Course Curriculum Overview
As a B.Com Honour student, I could say that apart from Syllabus and Exams , they also teach us real world skills like Product advertisement, Market Analysis, Product Pitching, etc. through different workshops where well known entrepreneurs are invited to teach us. The exams have a difficulty level of 3.5/5. It's a great experience for me.
Internships Opportunities
Companies like reliance , Bajaj ,Tata,etc. offers opportunities. They offer out of the state opportunities .But frankly I don't want to get into internships for now so I have a really less idea about the stipends and companies and all.
Placement Experience
After 5th sem , students are eligible for placements. Huge companies like TCS visits the campus. 2- 3 lpa is average. I just have a plan to get the placement in a good company and work therefore 6 months to gather experience and move to a bigger company.
Fees and Financial Aid
Fees are divided into quarterly basis. For every semester, the fee is paid in two halfs. For my course it was around 6000 for 1 semester which is pretty low for a private college. And you have to pay 100 as the late fee.
Campus Life
The campus is huge, there are two canteens , 2 auditorium, Green benches, gymnasium , labs, common rooms, 1 football ground, 1 basketball court, 1 volleyball court and a cricket ground,etc. There are various clubs like department wise and every department helds feasts for entire college. Every department its own management teams and sport teams. Every classroom has AC and Smart Classes with speakers with wifi. I've already mentioned the social and sports life but I'll give you a recap: There are sports tournaments on Football, basketball, volleyball, cricket,etc. Indoor games tournaments on games such as Chess , Checkers, TT, Carrom,etc. E-sports Tournaments on BGMI ,COD,PACE,FREEFIRE,etc. XPL for intra college tournaments. Departmental Sports Day, Xavier's premier league, NCC sports Day, Annual Sports Day, Sports league during Xavotsav,etc. in sports. There are departmenta feasts such as Xavullas, Xavrang, Xaviesta,etc. Xavotsav is the annual feast of the college which is held for 3-4 days. This carvival contains inter college sports tournaments, Rap Battle, Dance Battle ( Western , Folk , Classical, Semi - classical), Battle of Bands, Standup comedy, Battle of DJs , Fashion Shows (group/individual), Instrumental music battle, unplugged song battle, Streetplays, dramas, dance dramas, street dance, etc. Every day the activities starts from 8am and ends at evening 7pm and that's when the DJ night starts with a non stop music festival for the next 6-7 hours. There are chief guests like actors , singers, etc. As it's a carnival the campus is full of food and goodies stalls all around with student friendly prices. And Mini Games stalls with cute prizes.
Admission
Apart from SXC I applied for SNU , City College, Vivekananda, Amity,etc. and I got admission confirmation from every college but I chose SXC because of its high quality education system. It's one of the best colleges in India. Ranked in top 5 colleges of India. Admission is easy. You can apply online or in person.
Faculty
The faculty is really good. They are really responsive to the students and their problems. Most of the professors are very friendly and helpful. The exams are really competitive but they are not out of the syllabus or something but it's exactly what we learn in lectures. There are two theory exams in every semester - mid sems(20 marks) and end sems(50 marks). In every sem, 10 marks for attendance and 20 marks for assignment, total 100 marks. Mostly MCQs and SAQs and 2or 3 LAQs in End-sem exams.
Interview Experience
No I didn't face any interview during the admission. I had OBC quota and reference but my friend's didn't had any but they still got in easily. There are just few questions on the website where you can apply and that's all.
Night Life
The campus opens 6am and closes 10pm. During that time canteens, cafeterias, gymnasium, library,etc remains open. There is hostel for both Girls and Boys (individual, not together) in 10 mins to the college. The night life is pretty awesome around the college as it is in center of Kolkata , so the all the cafes, bars , restaurants, clubs, etc are open whole night. And it is safe to roam around at night as it is pretty crowded even at night.
