St Xavier's University Kolkata review

Our college is very new but i think of the weakness is some of the faculties who don't have experience in teaching. Other than this most of the things in the university is pretty good. The environment is very good and you will make some good friends here.

Our course curriculum and exam Structure is exactly same as of St Xavier's college Calcutta. Course curriculum is quite well balanced and follows CBCS system as per the guidelines of UGC. We have semester based exam system. The odd semesters happen in mid November and even one's happen in May. 80% of the weightage of each paper is on the end sem exam. And the rest 20% is over continuous internal assessment of which 5% is for attendance.

Our college is a very new institution. It was inagurated in 2017. So only the first batch of post graduate have graduated from this college till now. Some of the mcom students have got packages around 3-4 lpa in mmc like delloit. Our university began mba course in 2018 and they also have get good summer internship offers but i am not aware about their stipend and experience. The brand "Xavier" have attracted many recruiters and students.

Our college from this year have started annual fest which is being called Xavrang. Other than that exinove a business fest was also conducted last year by the Xavier's Commerce and Management society a student wing of our University. Also we had a great 1st convocation ceremony were Sashi Thraror was present. We had annual sports this time. And we are going to have Xav ultra talks from 2nd Aug were many famous personalities will speak.

Our fee structure is on the expensive side. Per semester tuttion fee is 48,000 and at the time of admission another 30,000 is charged as admission fees. But all our class rooms are fully air-conditioned and equipped with computer and projecters. So the high fees is reasonable if taken into consideration the facilities.

Our college offer scholarship to students whose parents income is less than 25000 per month. The scholarship is of two type 1. Full fee waiver 2. 50% fee waiver There to conditions for getting scholarship other than income cap 1. Have pass in all subjects in the previous semester 2. More than 75% attendance in previous semester.

Our college has plenty of co circular activities all round the year. Our university have societies consisting of students who monitor this co circular activities in different field. For example we have Xavier's Commerce and Management society which monitor commerce and entrepreneurial activities. Similarly we have Xavier's In Action society who undertake many social work similarly we have societies for literature, drama , debate , sports , cultural activities. A student can be part of maximum 2 societies at a single time.

Since our college is only two years old only the first batch of post-graduate have passed this year so there is nothing to talk about our alumni network. Senior students are in general helpful and and our college is very strict against any sort of ragging. So there is no sort of fear of ragging here.

I filled the application form through college website. Application fee was Rs 1000. After that on a Sunday we had our entrance exam and couple of days after the exam first merit list was out all the information of what the procedure to follow and in which date to come for admission was provided there. I was selected in the 2nd list

Our university is a very new Jesuit academic institution which is following the footsteps of one the oldest and most reputed Jesuit institution in Kolkata probably in India ie. St Xavier's college Calcutta. Most of the faculty members are highly qualified and our VICE Chancellor was the former principle of St Xavier's college Calcutta. But the important point is that the faculty of the st Xavier's college is different from ours some of the proffesors come from the college to take some class but most of our proffesors have no association with the college. Some of the proffesors have a bit less experience in teaching and the university is currently facing a shortage of faculty.
