5Placements5Infrastructure4Faculty5Crowd & Campus Life5Value for Money

It's one of the best colleges in Kolkata.

Placements: Above 80% are placed in my course. As far as I am concerned, the highest is above 30-40 LPA, and the lowest is 2-3 LPA. Banks, LIC and various companies like those in gold jewellery and others recruited. All of the students in the course got the percentage, 90%. I can say students get placed in banking and international marketing.

Infrastructure: Wi-Fi speed is around 200-300 kbps, and as per the classroom, it is well maintained, and the electrical system is in good condition. The library is the best place to study as students can get a personal computer to study there, and people can bring their own electronics for studying. Various bookshelves are there with numerous books to study about the course, and also outside the course.

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.

Other: Xavostav, a two-day concert once a year, celebrities are invited, and it is more likely to be a concert type.

Bachelor of Commerce (B.Com.) (Hons) in Morning - Batch of 2028

4Placements4Infrastructure4Faculty5Crowd & Campus Life3Value for Money

The college has wonderful facilities and infrastructure.

Placements: Approximately 20% of students are placed in B.Com Morning. Deloitte India, KPMG, PwC, HDFC Life, and Aditya Birla Capital are some top recruiting companies for B.Com Morning. Financial Analyst, HR, Audit, Banking, and Business Operations are some of the top roles offered in this course. The highest salary is Rs 25,000 per month from Deloitte India, the lowest is Rs 2,500 per month, and the average is Rs 15,000 per month from KPMG. Approximately 15-20% of students from this course get internships from Deloitte India, KPMG, and PwC.

Infrastructure: Wi-Fi is available in most parts of the campus. Computer labs are present for teaching-based learning. The library has e-resources, reading rooms, lending facilities, and an impressive collection of books and journals across disciplines. Food in the mess and canteen is freshly prepared and well maintained. It is tasty, comforting, and provides a variety of items.

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.

Placements: 50 to 60% students get placed, the highest placement for economics is around 24LPA, and the lowest is 4LPA. Top recruiting companies are majorly consulting firms, the best being McKinsey. Internships are majorly internal if taken via college otherwise, its up to you what you want to do for your internship elsewhere, but you have to submit a report about the same. Top roles offered are those of a Data Analyst and a Financial Analyst, depending on what field you want to further pursue.

Infrastructure: The course is really good, although no Wi-Fi services in the classrooms and on campus. Hostels are below average because you have to return to your hostel vicinity by 7:30 to 8 pm maximum. Library is top notch with really good space for self study as well, and you can study at a pace of your mind. The food in hostels is decent, the medical facilities are decent, and sports and games within the college are really good overall.

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, nothing too difficult, and pass percentage is really high, with just 4 to 5 students failing in my class at max.

Other: Value for money 100% due to a reasonable fee of 75k per year, and the crowd is also good, although its just people from West Bengal and barely anyone outside from other states. The campus life does not exist because it is so small, but the events within societies are really fun and good, and you gain a lot of experience from them, with a huge scope for connectivity and extensive extracurricular activities present as well.

3Placements4Infrastructure4Faculty4Crowd & Campus Life4Value for Money

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

Placements: Placement percentages are relatively low since most students apply for higher studies. The average placement package is 5 LPA. The college also has a Study Abroad and exchange program with two US-based and one Australian-based college/university.

Infrastructure: Most of the classes have ACs, so summers are not very harsh. The main canteen is pretty good with both veg and non-veg options. There are other smaller canteens present on the terrace and near the library. There is free Wi-Fi available over campus, and the library is the perfect place to prep for any exam. I practically live in there during the exam. Weeks.

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 good prospects, they would aid in funding the endeavor.

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

Placements: The placement offered in St. Xavier's College is not that great compared to other top colleges in India that offer B.Com. However, the legacy of Xavier's is comparable, and the name of the institution is very valuable when applying for post-graduate programs.

Infrastructure: The college is located in a prime location, and the campus is very lively. It has multiple events happening from time to time. The library is very vast, offering a majority of books that cover almost every single genre. The campus overall is spectacular.

Faculty: The curriculum is designed to adopt the New Education Policy (New Education Policy) with case-based questions that test a student's practical knowledge more than their theoretical knowledge. The faculty is very welcoming and makes sure that the students feel at home.

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

Placements: St. Xavier's College is very renowned for its placements and internships. Many big companies like IBM, Nestle, Deloitte, Wipro etc. recruit students and provide them internships. The average package of a graduate ranges from 3.5 LPA to 5 LPA. Around 500 students got such placements in marketing, finance, management etc.

Infrastructure: The facilities available are well-furnished classrooms with air conditioning along with 2 playgrounds, a library, and many auditoriums. Our hostel has a good Wi-Fi connection, and along with that, they serve meals which are of great quality 3-4 times a day. Our hostel also has an infirmary for any problems that require medical attention.

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.

Can I get admission in microbiology if I don't take mathematics in class 12th?

Yes, you can. I myself had this combination of subjects in my 11th and 12th. I have completed my Bachelors in microbiology from Calcutta University and am now pursuing my masters in the same from BHU. Just make sure that you score well in order to get yourself enrolled in a prestigious institution.
