Good infrastructure and facilities, well-maintained labs, and internships are mandatory.
Placements: Actually, everyone got internships because it's mandatory, and teachers also help us get internships. The college wants us to be industry-ready, so internships are compulsory. A pretty good percentage of students get placements, but Physics is a pure Science subject, so people actually try to pursue higher studies in this subject. They avoid placement.
Infrastructure: The facilities, like we have free Wi-Fi all over the college, labs are well maintained, and the whole college has AC rooms. The library is also good. We can find a vast collection of books there. In the hostel, the quality of food is good, and we have a fixed time to eat. The hostel warden is quite strict and guides us to maintain a timetable. The sports facilities are too good; there is a gym in the hostel, and you can play any games you want. So it's pretty decent.
Faculty: Teachers are quite helpful. They're well qualified and they give us a lot of knowledge and help us not only in studies but also to grow in life. Actually, Physics is a fundamental subject. Exams are actually pretty tough, but the passing percentage is 40%, so it's manageable.
Other: I actually love to know about space and the universe, its rules, so that's why I chose this. The best thing is that it teaches us from the very basics to the advanced level, so it helps to build our base in this subject. If we could solve more problems and if we could work in the lab every day (we've labs 3 days a week), then I think it'll be more fun. College provides scholarships, there are lots of events happening here and there, and the annual fest is so much fun. We wait the whole year just for the fest.

Review of St. Xavier's College, Kolkata.
Placements: Freshers have the opportunity to participate in placement cell events. They volunteer and learn when companies visit our campus for placementa. Freshers are not directly involved in interactions with the placement companies. Top recruiting companies like Deloitte, etc., visit our campus. Students in their third year of this course are allowed to work on different workshops and internships. Seminars, special lectures, and workshops are also held regularly. Seminars tend to be for higher levels, like a third-year or PG level.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure is quite developed. Our classrooms are spacious and airy. The lab equipment is sophisticated and the departments have labs for various subjects in good working order. The quality of food is average. The canteen food can be better avoided. There are stalls inside and outside the college where students crowd for snacks and meals.
Faculty: Our teachers are helpful and approachable. The majority of them are highly qualified and have masters in their fields. They tend to listen to students and solve their problems. There are exceptions. The semester is divided into CIA, which is worth 10 marks, and end-of-semester, which is worth 60 marks, 30 marks for practicals, and 10 marks for viva performance and lab notebook. Semester exams are moderately tough.
Other: The college is well-connected to various modes of transportation, including bus routes and the metro. Situated on Park Street, the environment outside is busy. The college is crowded at the beginning of the dayshift at 10 a.m., otherwise, it's not that congested.

It is an excellent college with endless opportunities.
Placements: The college has a placement cell which was established in 2004. Companies like Google, British Council, Godrej, Tata and Infosys visit our college for placements. The placement cell helps to arrange workshops and campus interviews for students. According to the NIRF data, about 428 undergraduate students got placed with a median salary package of 5 LPA in the year 2017-18.
Infrastructure: Classrooms are good, and it is equipped with a projector and air-conditioned facility. There is no problem with electricity. Labs are exceptionally good and well-equipped. The library is the best place with an amazing collection of books. Students have to enrol to use the Wi-Fi facility provided by the college, although usage of phones inside classrooms are not allowed. There is a place called Green Benches inside the campus where students can hang out. Canteen is good, and it serves decent food. There is a huge field where games and fests are conducted. The college provides two hostels, one for boys and one for girls. Food served in the mess is really good.
Faculty: Teachers in our college are highly qualified and extremely helpful. They are easily approachable. Teacher and student interaction is really good. The course curriculum is really effective, and it helps to build a strong future for the students.
Other: Our college is widely known for organised fest named Xavotsav, and it is one of the largest college fests in India. The vibe here is so unique that one won't find anywhere else.

A reputed college in high demand.
Placements: Students tend to opt for a higher degree in physics after their bachelor's. Xavier's is highly recommended for ensuring a smooth transition into such higher courses. Being an autonomous college, under the prestigious University of Calcutta, it is the best choice to do the bachelor's course in physics.
Infrastructure: St. Xavier's provides modern classroom facilities, and professors are free to use both the blackboard/whiteboard and slides to teach. The classrooms, labs and buildings are regularly cleaned and are well maintained. The iconic green benches, field, terrace and the Goethe library within the campus are historically illuminating and a matter of pride.
Faculty: The faculty is at par with most other colleges and may be considered a strong reason for choosing this college for the bachelor's course. The curriculum is at par with the present Calcutta University syllabus and is well arranged to suit the needs of external examinations.
Other: One of the most happening colleges in the country, it does not compromise even a little on showcasing the non-academic talents of its students, be it in fests, public relations, manners or social consciousness.

Very much satisfied with the college.
Placements: Basically, there are very few placement offers for a B.Sc. physics honours student. There are many options for an internship. Nearly about 70% students of the batch got a chance in various internship programmes. The average stipend is Rs. 300 per day. The highest pay scale is Rs. 20,000 per internship. It is very useful as you can get to learn many new things from the internship programs, especially from Inspire affiliated internships, and I know it because I am an Inspire scholar.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure is too good and well maintained. The library has an online facility for issuing books. E-learning facility is also available. The college campus has the Wi-Fi facility whose password is protected with proper students information. All the classrooms have a projector facility. Most of the classrooms are air-conditioned. We have a common room where we can avail all kinds of indoor games like carrom, table tennis, chess. Within the college campus, we have a playground which is quite big. Annual sports, football, cricket all can be arranged with proper equipment. The canteen food is very much hygienic and also with standard price. I personally haven't heard any sorts of complaints about it.
Faculty: The teachers are very helpful. If anyone approaches with their problems, the teachers certainly help. Teaching quality is also good, but you cannot expect all the teachers to have good teaching method. Teacher-student ratio is 1:14. The curriculum is obviously useful as we have semester systems. That's why all over the years, we are under pressure, and that helps us a lot to keep studies in mind.
Other: Xavotsav, is the signature annual fest of St. Xavier's College, Kolkata. Students from all other colleges participate in this 3days long event. Except that, we all have our individual departmental fests where many lecturers are invited, and cultural part is also included. The college is on the Park Street and its the very important area of Kolkata. Restaurants, offices, hospitals all are nearby. Metro station, buses, cabs all transport systems are nearby. We have to do NSS (National social service) for credit hours where we have to do green clean, and we are sent to outskirts areas to teach children. Scholarships are also given to needy students. Apart from that, many of the B.Sc. honours students get DST Inspire scholarship from central government. Nearly about 7000 students study in this college which comprises of B.Sc, B.Com, B.A, M.A, M.Sc, BBA, general courses.

Dissatisfied with the faculty but it has good infrastructure and reputation.
Placements: I was a part of the B.Sc degree of Multimedia and Animation at St. Xavier's College, Kolkata. We had the option to pursue a masters or graduate post the bachelor's degree, and ours was the first batch to have this option. While about 27 out of 65 students decided to stay back and pursue masters, the rest of us decided to graduate and continue an M.Sc elsewhere or enter the job field. The one who did graduate were not allowed to sit for the placements as that option is applicable only once we do the graduate with a masters degree.
As for our senior batch ( 4-year B.A. course ), the students had the chance to sit for placements with quite a few small-scale companies based in Kolkata (such as Sterling AG). The biggest company to come for recruitments was Cognizant and the package offered was 3 LPA. A few smaller agencies from cities such as Pune had also come for recruitments. The roles offered were of graphic designers, animators, motion graphic artists and even content writers. The percentage of students to be placed wasn't very high, and most students from our previous batch decided to opt for M.Sc from colleges such as SRFTI or MIT instead. Our department doesn't offer internships as such, and interested students usually look for internships at Kolkata-based creative agencies or other avenues, by themselves. The stipend at such creative agencies usually varies from Rs. 5,000-Rs. 8,000 per month.
Infrastructure: We had 7 classrooms in our department to fit five batches. We had two animation labs with lightboxes and three practical labs with high-functioning Macs. The infrastructure provided is ample, and students can use the macs for practice at their own will/during free lectures. The classrooms are equipped with computer and projector for films to be shown. There is no wi-fi facility available, but the macs are connected to the internet and have licensed-software. The food available at the general canteen is cheap and good for the given price range. Thousands of students have lunch at the canteen, every day. I have not faced any infrastructure related issues during my tenure at the college.
Faculty: The teachers were qualified and helpful, but they stuck to the syllabus and did not see to it that the students learn to love what they do. The teachers gave multiple assignments and projects for the sake of marks, but many times, I have had to learn the software or practicalities of the theory taught, by myself. Throughout college, self-learning was the only skill that helped me complete my assignments and get better at what I do. There are not enough teachers for the number of subjects that are being taught or the number of students being handled.
Other: St. Xavier's is famous for the multiple events and fests that keep happening all year round. The BMM department had its own fest, called Elan, which was a huge success. Apart from that, Xavotsav is a regular crowd-puller. The campus crowd is good, and there are no negative activities happening on campuses such as harassment or bullying. The different societies such as the fine arts society keep hosting interesting events which all students can be a part of. The campus is located on Park Street which is known to be the most happening area in the city. The area has multiple eateries to cater to the choices of the young students.
