What Students Say
Likes
- SXC Kolkata has the best academic calendar as it has taken care that students should get unwinding time too.
- Students have started and incubation centre and have brought in sponsors to fund start-ups.
Dislikes
- College timings are not for lazy people like me as the lectures begin as early as 6 am.
- If one hasn't made it to the college football team, he is not allowed to play on the turf.
- Dress code is also very strict as even on days we are allowed civil uniforms, we still can't wear if it's not traditional.
Course Curriculum Overview
For those who want to learn all traits of trade and accountancy, Calcutta University course is the one for them. I don't think masters is even required if one pursue B.Com (Hons) from Calcutta University. Overall CA passing percentage is 2-3% but at SXC let's say if 10 students are pursuing CA, 6-7 will definitely clear it.
Internships Opportunities
We have been asked to edit our CVs and add skills that we have and which we learn during the college hours. As based on that our intenrships and placements cell provide us intenrships in the domain we want. Most of us are itno finance and therefore it's the Fintech or financial institutions where we get internships through college.
Placement Experience
Companies of all domains like the Asian Paints, EY, Nestle and HDFC Bank among all of them come to SXC. Biggest placements so far has been of 20 lakhs or so when one of the student was placedat such a package in 2024.
Fees and Financial Aid
At SXC Kolkata, since it's an autonomous college, the fees is higher than most colleges. For B.Com (Hons), the fees is 100000 a year and Calcuta University examination fees is also around 2500 per year. Scholarships like Nabanna Scholarship and A.K.Aggarwal Scholarship which is awarded purely on the basis of merit are available at our college.
Campus Life
XAVOTSAV is our annual fest and then we have seminars and business meetings. Also, once in every year we are taken for an industrial tour too. So campus life therefore is quite busy and happening both. Infrastructure of the college is like an old British monument as most of those architecture is still preserved and is visible too.
Admission
There are no entrances like the Delhi University which I gave as well. Here admission are based on 12th percentage and the subjects that we have had. So, for general category in 2025 admission 92.7% from any board was the cut-off. For OBC it was 81 and for SC/ST students it was 73%.
Faculty
Saint Xavier's Kolkata has both permanent and non permanent faculties. Also we have guest lectures every month from top faculties. So, there's not exact count but there are more than sufficient faculties as our college is known for imparting fair education. This has been possible only because of the kind hearted faculties that we have.
Night Life
Our college ends early as it starts early. So, in college we can't stay for long but for outing there's many places. From malls to garden like Victoria and for watching matches, Eden Gardens is also nearby our college.
