Should I apply for admission to St Xaviers University Kolkata?

Alumni say that it all depends on what you choose to study at SXUK. There could be better colleges than SXUK Kolkata, but there is top notch faculty there. If you are serious about your course, their knowledge and experience will make you fall in love with your subject. Even on the co-curricular front, it gives you ample opportunities to excel if you have the interest. There are different clubs and societies for numerous interests. Also, you are surrounded by brilliant minds as your friends so that's a bonus.

How are MBA placements at St Xavier's University Kolkata?

Alumni report that the management at St Xavier's Kolkata told them to not choose HR as a specialisation, as they won't have enough jobs and they won't be responsible for placements. Placements for MBA are pathetic. The big companies like Deloitte, and EY hire students in roles which don't need MBA graduates. The placement officer threatens students and is extremely impolite. The placement cell indulges in malpractices like showing companies which haven't hired a single student in placement brochures. MBA students appear in the same pool placements with BCom, Eco Hons, Eco M.A, BMS students though they pay three times more money and have to pay the compulsory hostel fee. For management education, you'll get the same placement for much lower fees in Kolkata.

SXUK: Students' Opinion

AI-Generated Summary based on 1 Reviews

The college, although new, has quickly gained popularity and attracts many well-known companies for student placements. A considerable number of students successfully secure jobs each year, highlighting the institution's growing reputation in the job market. However, being relatively new, the college has not yet developed a strong alumni network, which could be a factor for future growth and networking opportunities for students.

SXUK: 1 Answered Question

How is the BA economics course at St. Xavier's University, Kolkata? What is the cutt-off for candidates who took commerce stream in 12? Is Mathematics subject compulsory for admissions?

Rishabh ChandelStudied at St. Xavier's College, Kolkata (2017)

If you are considering pursuing a degree in Economics, it is recommended that you do not prioritize Xavier's Kolkata.

You'd be better off starting at one of the top ten colleges in Delhi or one of the top five in Mumbai.
Kolkata lacks the atmosphere and opportunities that economics graduates require both during and after graduation.
In contrast, Delhi has a great environment (coaching and guidance for higher studies in eco) and opportunities (training and internships) for eco graduates.
The Finance Industry in Mumbai will be very helpful (and much needed) in obtaining internships, part-time jobs, or any other type of practical training.
Calcutta is devoid of all of these.
Also, Mathematics is mandatory in order to be admitted to B.A. (Eco) at St. Xavier's Kolkata.

If you are not applying through any quotas (such as Christian, SC/ST, or from schools affiliated with Xavier's), you will need at least 96 percent in class 12th. Despite the fact that it appears in subsequent lists, it goes down by 1%–2%.
