Course Curriculum Overview

St. Xavier's College, Mumbai is well known for its reputation in plant taxonomy. It also holds the Blatter Herbarium which is a hub of botanical resources. Experience of taxonomy is more closely touched while working with the herbarium and under faculty which is up to date with on-field experience.

Class Size: 11Course Fees: INR 20000 per year

Fees and Financial Aid

The fees for the current year for M.Sc in Botany is Rs. 20,000. This includes tuition fees, Laboratory fees, Gymkhana fees, Library and alumni association fees, admission fees, etc. apart from this expenses on trips and excursions are not covered in this structure. Various scholarships are available depending on caste and merit. SBF or Student Beneficiary Fund is one such type of scholarship provided to deserving students to aid their expenses of field trips, etc. Railway concession is provided. The payment mode of fees is online and no installments available. If needed cheque mode also available.

Campus Life

Infrastructre is gothic and aesthetic, it gives a very good vibe. The people around are impressive with the various skills they carry and show case at every event occuring. Events and activities from some or the other departments take place at all times, allowing a lot of insights in inter departmental knowledge.

Admission

It was easy to make into other colleges offering this course, however St. Xavier's has its own mark as it is the most well known hub of learning plant taxonomy in the city and is famous for the same even throughout the country. Therefore it was not required to think twice before choosing this college over others.

Faculty

Faculty - student ratio is decent. The expertise of faculty is plaudable. In depth knowledge and skill of making concepts understandable using creative outputs is a regular practice here. No biasness as such on any aspects of discrimination.

Night Life

Situated in the heart of mumbai, it is a place with a huge daily footfall without hundreds of people visiting the nearby locations like Gatrway of India, Churchgate station, Marine Drive, Colaba, etc.

Students who completed their masters are eligible for placements. Companies include Pharma, Biotech, R&d, agri companies, food industries, we can apply there. Well from 3rd semester students can apply and visit different companies previously, haidrabad, banglore are visited by our seniors.

Placement Experience:

Placements in Fergusson are pretty good. Students are eligible for sitting in the placement drives from the 3rd semester, we also get Pre-placment activities and tests before the drive starts. We get companies like Axtria, Vois , bluepineapple etc on campus. The highest package is 10 - 12 lakhs and 4-6 lakhs on an average. In my batch out of the 30 people we 20 are placed so far on campus.

Overall feedback on Gokhale Institute of politics and economics

Placement Experience:

The placements in the GIPE are decent. This year the highest package offered was 18 lakhs per annum by Deloitte and IDFC FIRST Bank. Although the placements are not 100% but it's around 60%. Students need to work hard and score well in aptitude test and they should start the preparation from the second semester onwards so that they can easily manage their end semester exams as well as the aptitude test. The average placement package is around 8-9 lakhs. My plan is to get a corporate job and gain some experience and exposure in the corporate world and learn how the things actually work. Many companies that come to the college are looking for data analytics role. The ratio of the companies looking for consultant, risk analyst is less based on market demand and other circumstances.

MSc in Clinical Research from ICRI ( Andheri )

Placement Experience:

By the end of sem3 itself, the postgraduates are deployed into interviews for certain internships. But if you are with good academic scores and knowledge you can even get directly placed. Every individual is given 3 chances by the college to get and crack the interview but if the student is not able to then he is guided to where to apply but mostly ICRI makes sure everyone is placed as the college proudly stays with its 100% placement tag line. As I told here there are varied background people here with different needs of roles, the highest package I have seen getting is 15L pa to the lowest of 3L pa which even depends upon the company to your broad spectrum of knowledge. To specify which companies come here for recruitment are sun pharma, Cipla, and many more there are all 20+ companies that come and hire the intellectuals. To specify about me I am planning to get a CRC post as a start for CRA in the future.

The Vibrant Life at St. Xavier's Mumbai

I applied to IIM Indore, St. Xavier's mumbai, TAPMI Manipal and I had given CET exam to apply for colleges in Mumbai. I did not clear the IPMAT exam as I prepared only for 2 months, so I didn't make it to iim indore. St. Xavier's being one of the top colleges in India was my next choice. I also got into TAPMI Manipal but I chose Xavier's over it as the ROI was better. For admission in Xavier's you've to clear the Xavier's Entrance Test (XET) for BMS, BMM and BSC-IT. Post which you'll get a call if your name is in the merit list. Rest of the process is done in the college itself, where you'll be asked to submit your documents and fill out some forms. It is a quite easy and smooth process....Read More
