Review of St. Xavier's.

Faculty: Our college faculty members are excellent. Professors mostly teach using PPTs and whiteboards and are well-versed in their fields of teaching. The college also provides mentorship and counselling sessions. Each class has its own personal mentor. I chose B.Com (Hons.), which is a flagship programme of this college and offers numerous opportunities. They conduct seminars and live projects to make students industry-ready. The semester exams are also quite well-designed for students so that they can...

I'm quite satisfied with college life, but please think twice before.

Faculty: I wouldn't say Xavier's has the best faculty, except for a few. But the curriculum and exams are always conducted as per UGC standards, and the focus is to make students job-ready. Semester exams are very difficult compared to other colleges. The pass percentage is generally 50-60% in our campus.

Review of St. Xavier's College Kolkata.

Faculty: Teachers are quite helpful and knowledgeable, and the teaching quality is great as well. There are a total of 5 periods every day, each lasting 40 minutes. The curriculum is very relevant to other B.Com courses in other colleges, and it is sufficient for the students. The exams are quite regular with 2 exams every semester and seminars to support those exams as well, which are added to the CIA Marks.

College life is too good, the campus is good, but exams were tough, and the syllabus is too tough.

Faculty: The faculty was too good. The examinations were too tough, and the environment during exams was too strict. If I talk about the passing percentage, then you have to score overall 40 out of 100 marks, I mean 30 marks from the examination and 5 marks for attendance.

It's one of the best colleges in Kolkata.

Faculty: If the students study well, the semester exams are not difficult. Failure percentage is 5-10%. The teachers are so well-educated and are qualified. The teachers are knowledgeable, and they teach with a lot of effort to make the students understand.

The college has wonderful facilities and infrastructure.

Faculty: Teachers are helpful and clear doubts during and after lecture hours. They provide interactive teaching, making the lectures lively and interesting. Commerce courses include papers on Accounting, Costing, Economics, Business Mathematics, and new subjects like Environmental Education and Management. These papers make the students industry ready. The semester exams in the college are moderately difficult. The passing percentage is approximately 80-85% but also depends on the particular subjects.

Mildly satisfied with the faculty, great opportunity for creating future connections.

Faculty: Faculty is good, with them actually caring about the students and trying to maintain a healthy relationship with students. The quality of teaching is somewhat on par, and most of them are highly knowledgeable and helpful. They try to encourage you to study what is outside the scope of the syllabus for your own knowledge. Course curriculum is relevant as a subject, but no modern day applications are presented, and it definitely does not make you industry ready. Semester exams are pretty normal, n...

Great choice for the B.Sc. course, appropriate pricing, and overall development.

Faculty: It's really a great blend of academic focus and social opportunities. I was a bit nervous about coming here because it is known for being a bit of a schoolish college, but the day batch has significantly fewer constraints. The coursework is tough, especially in upper-level classes, but it is so much more than that, and I feel like I'm actually learning relevant things that hold practical value. The professors are extremely knowledgeable and very approachable. In case anyone has a good idea with ...

First year at St. Xavier's College, Kolkata.

It is a fantastic college for students serious about their careers.

Faculty: Faculty is highly qualified, with most professors holding a Ph.D. degree, and the quality of teaching is excellent. The curriculum taught by the teachers is very relevant for situations in today's world, as we are taught with the help of real-life examples. Therefore, it is pretty easy to understand, and anyone who studies for 1 or 2 hours a day would be able to score really good marks, due to which the pass percentage is very high.

It is a college that is very rooted in discipline. It's a bittersweet experience with challenges.

Faculty: Majority of the faculty members are approachable and helpful. But, some of them are pretty sack and simply read out from notes and slides without any explanation. They answer doubts in a vague way. The curriculum on pen and paper is good but the parts taught by these teachers are not understandable. But again if we put in efforts from our side to learn we can make out much of it. The course curriculum is relevant to Physics academia and industry.

St. Xavier's - A worthwhile experience.

Faculty: All professors in our department are honesty overqualified, all have a baseline of a doctorate. One of our professors, the founder of our department, has over five PhDs under his belt. The course curriculum is relevant to modern-day research and development in our field and sets students up for success in the future. Semester exams are moderately difficult but our department's exams are usually on the tougher side. The pass percentage is 40%.
