SXC Kolkata is a gem of a college.

Student Snaps:

Fees at SXC Kolkata for Computer Science is the highest. The fees is 1,60,000 a year and since it's a four years course the total fees is around 6.5 lakhs. So with a course fees of 6.5 lakhs we get one of the best arcularing college and the one that provide good placements too. Scholarships are linked with merit and caste students as the ones like me who are in general category and doesn't have top merit don't get any scholarship.

Through my Eyes

Dislikes

Excessive examinations conducted very frequently.
The day batch does not have consecutive classes and so multiple gaps in between stretch the day. It overall becomes very exhausting.

The fees per semester needs to be paid in 2 installments. The first installment of first semester is to be paid at the time of admission and is about 66800 rupees and the second installment is 35100 rupees. Every month exceeding the last date of fee payment induces a 300 rupee fine. This payment includes everything like admission, library, exams, etc. Certain scolarships are also available. There will probably not be a significant increment of fees in recent years.

Deep Dive into your true College Experience at SXC Kolkata

the syllabi is very old module oriented, there should be an introduction to modern economics or the subject theyre studying in general.

year wise fee i will be paying is roughly 75000, but for semester 2 1st insallment it cost me around 17000, with a segregated fee for computer lab, tuition fee, additional fee, development fee and the exam fee summing upto 16100 to be precise as follows: computer fee : 3000 tuition fee: 1500 other fee : 11600 Moreover, for other departments like Bcom (Bachelors of commerce), their 1st semester 1st installment fee is roughly 40000, inclusive of the admission fee and otherwise per semester installment wise it is roughly around 15000-20000 inclusive of the various subjects we will be studying and the college amenities which will be used in that session. Other courses like the Bcom Evening batch and other multimedia and biotechnology courses are on a higher side regarding their fee strucutre ranging from 60000-65000 as their semester 1 installment 1 fee. There are a number of scholarship availabilites depending on a students performance in a particular semester, year or subject as well.

My experience at St. Xavier's

For my course, i am having to pay ?35,000 every 3 months which means i am having to pay ?1,40,000 every year. I am from the general category. I am unfortunately unaware about the fees that my classmates from other categories pay. The course offers me air conditioned classrooms, a fool-proof sound system, a screen to help show movies and labs with cameras, editing tools and sound systems so i would say it is worth it.

Review of St. Xavier's College, Kolkata from the perspective of a first year student

The course structure is updated and relevant to today's world. It includes multidisciplinary courses that prepare the students and equip them with skills that help in professional endeavours.

The year is divided into 2 semesters for which the fees are to be paid in 2 installments each. The fees for the first year comes up to 80000. It includes an initial admission fees which is the 1st installment fees (39000) and a 2nd installment fee of 12000 for the first semester. Similarly, there are 1st (17000) and 2nd (11000) installment fees for the second semester. My course duration is 4 years and would cost around 2,40,000. Fees may be revised maximum by 10% each year. There are multiple need based scholarships available. The compulsory charges for lab and so on are included in the installment fees.

SXC:- Are NIRF Rankings Speaking the Same Story as the Campus?

My day batch has classes from 10:10 to 3 pm or 4 pm on half the days making it really difficult for me to devote time to other activities or attend physical internships
Strict attendance policy (below 75% per class student gets debarred from writing papers)
I wish statistics had been included within our economics syllabus a bit earlier than teaching it from second year onwards full fledgedly. I believe computer softwares relating to data analysis should be a part of our course in each semester.

The fees is payable in instalments collected before the mid semester and end semester examinations. My fees as a day batch student is Rs 85000 (rounded off) In my understanding, SXC fee structure is one of the cheapest among private colleges. The BCom Evening batch for instance is more expensive than the BCom Morning batch which is subsidized as SXC is a minority institution. Financial aid is available in the form of scholarships. A scholarship portal exists where students can enter their credentials and apply for scholarships.
