It is a place of knowledge without any discrimination.
Placements: Last year, among 150 students 36 students got placed in private companies. Among these 36 students, 18 are girls, and the remaining are boys. The highest salary was Rs. 22,000, and the lowest is Rs. 16,000. The companies like the jet airline, TCS, HP, Wipro and security company like CSC come here for placements. Generally, students were selected for political advisory and sales executive. Our college conducted internship for 1.5 months. Also, there is placement cell.
Infrastructure: Facilities like the Wi-Fi with a minimum speed of 2 Mbps, high tech classroom with smart class installed, indoor games like carrom board, ludo snooker and much more are there in the playroom. Also, outdoor games like the football, hockey fields are also present. There are also laps with all the types of equipment. There are many canteens like Green Chilly, Amul parlour, and many other small ones present with tasty and hygienic eatables. There are many hostel with special features.
Faculty: Teachers and professors are highly educated and qualified. Their teaching style is the best. The environment of the campus is good for learning.

Other: What you think about Xavier's from outside, it is not what actually it is. The academic brilliance of the college has gone down, the teacher-student relationship there is not at all commendable. Trying to spoon-feed at Graduation level, and handing over notes just to mug them up and write them in college exams have not been of much help. However, campus life is great fun.

Infrastructure and student body are great, and our college reputation is also good.
Placements: Around 70% of the students got placed in this course. In our course, the highest salary offered is 2 lacs per month, the lowest salary offered is Rs. 10,000 per month, and the average salary offered is Rs. 50,000 per month. Top recruiting companies are Frontech, Tata, Nescafe, advertising agencies and international relations.
Infrastructure: Hostels are separate for boys and girls. There are huge corridors and rooms suitable for 3 students in one room. Classrooms are air-conditioned. Only some classrooms and benches are up to the mark. The library is the best with all modular technologies and books. Wi-Fi is available with monthly charges.
Faculty: Faculty members of our college are indeed highly qualified, but some understanding is required on their part. Teachers teach with theoretical and practical experience. They give us real-life examples and teach us very efficiently. This curriculum is relevant to make students better and industry-ready.
Other: I have chosen this course due to my interest in politics. I like diplomatic discussions and international geopolitics. I think faculty members are great, but few assessment procedures should be modified to explore the course. The great Xavotsav happens here. Many fests, orientations and functions also take place.
