Great campus life and networking with some amazing and inspiring people.
Placements: For the bachelor's of mass media course, placements are usually average as the media industry requires skills and work experience more rather than the degree. Many students get placed in startups for digital marketing, advertising, and content writing.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure of the college is great. It was built in 1900. It is still maintained well. There are labs for each department. However, the AC is available only in the lab, not in classrooms. Wi-Fi is there for both students and teachers separately. The library is huge and you can find rare books to research. The canteen in the college provides all types of cuisine at an economical price.
Faculty: Teachers are well-qualified and knowledgeable. There are many guest lecturers who are experienced in their industries for a very long time to provide value to students. They give internships too. However, the curriculum is not extremely great as it gives an overview of the media industry and not in-depth concepts to a specific.
Other: I chose the course because it is the most closed course to enter the filmmaking industry as it gives me a connection to various people who are directors, editors, and producers who are alumni. Teachers also have contacts.

Review of St. Xavier's College, Mumbai.
Placements: Our college places students in all courses. The majority of placements are made in BMS, BA economics, and BSC IT courses. The third year, the fifth semester, is when the placement process begins. The highest salary package offered is 24 LPA. The lowest salary package offered is around 4 LPA - 5 LPA. About 30% of students got placed in our college.
Infrastructure: There is no girls' hostel. The campus has a boys' hostel. In terms of scholarly books and periodicals available, the library is doing fairly well. The technical resources at hand are good.
Faculty: The course curriculum is designed in a way that allows it to be updated frequently to reflect all the latest developments in media. It truly helps us to be ready for the real world because it is more on the practical side. Numerous facts of journalism and public communication are included in the curriculum. It includes sociology, audio and video production, and radio and film reading and appreciation. These disciplines are taught using incredibly inventive and imaginative techniques. Every semester, there are two internal exams and one final semester exam. We have extremely wonderful instructors in our course. It was led by the late Perriyanayagi Subramanian, who created the department as a whole and this course in a way that makes them both enduring. The department continues to function incredibly well even after her passing. Experts from many fields are assigned to instruct the department's students. Rather than emphasizing theory, BAMCJ is more of a practical course that involves projects and real-world application work. Since the course itself is media-related and is constantly being updated, the curriculum is constantly evolving to reflect the state of the globe.
Other: In general, I didn't have a very positive experience. IIT Mumbai's colleges don't have a campus culture. Events are very commercial. The most well-known festivals include Zephyrus, Zeitgeist, MVM, Malhar, etc.

The college has its merits and demerits.
Placements: More or less, the internships are with Stanly Morgan, but the departmental internships are not up to par. It's better to find your own internships via LinkedIn. It is said that the companies are in plenty, but that feels like a lie. Overall, just because of the name, you can get placements wherever you want.
Infrastructure: There are no ACs, but the overall infrastructure is nice. The projector works fine. The Gymkhana is nice, and the sports in college are plentiful. The library has its own vibe; it feels like you are studying in Hogwarts, but the books are outdated in many aspects. The lending and reference libraries are two different libraries.
Faculty: It's more theoretical. It would be more practical to have real-life field visits, but the college doesn't have that. It gives you a better understanding of how real life works. Most of the faculty hired are real-life working professionals, and their insights help a lot.
Other: The fests are plentiful, but after a while, it feels forced to participate to earn ECC points.

Life in Xavier's is different for everyone.
Placements: Xavier's does offer placements to students of all courses, but the students of BMS, BA Economics, and BSc IT courses get placed the most. The placement process starts from the third year, 5th semester. The highest package offered is around 24 LPA, and the least would be 4-5 LPA. Around 30% of students get placed out of those who opt for placements.
Infrastructure: The BAMCJ department and classrooms are pretty decent with good facilities. The library is common for all departments. The department appoints professionals from different areas of work to teach its students. BAMCJ is more of a practical-based course, which includes projects and practical application work rather than theory. There is a studio available for BAMCJ students. There is no hostel for girls, but they do have a boys' hostel inside the campus.
Faculty: The course curriculum is designed to be updated frequently to include all the new developments in media. As it focuses more on the practical side, it helps us prepare for the real world. The curriculum includes various aspects of mass communication and journalism, such as radio, audio-visual production, film appreciation, sociology, etc. The teaching methods for these subjects are also very innovative and creative. There are two internal exams and one main semester exam conducted for every semester.
Other: I chose this course because I wanted to do something in media and this college because of its fame, name, and faculty. The faculty members for my course, which is BAMCJ, are really great. However, my overall experience was not that great. Colleges in Mumbai do not have much of a campus life (except IIT Bombay, of course), and all the fests were extremely commercial. The most famous fests include Malhar, Zeitgeist, MVM, Zephyrus, etc. The library is pretty good regarding the availability of academic books and journals, and the technical facilities available are also decent.

Absolutely satisfied with faculty. Average placements.
Placements: Placements were good in economics and statistics but placements weren't that great for mass media and were not 100 percent. The highest was 10 lakhs offered by Citibank and the lowest around 3 lakhs. E&Y also came. The internship was compulsory but we need to find it on our own.
Infrastructure: Every room has a projector. It is equipped with Wi-Fi with an amazing and well-stocked library. Rare books are also available. A medical Kit was there in the college. Sports included were basketball, hockey, football and volleyball. The extracurricular part is amazing. Labs are having computers with up to date software. Amazing food is there in the canteen with north Indian, south Indian, veg, non-veg, Chinese, chat, ice-cream i.e. almost everything. The hostel is only for boys, especially the deserving students.
Faculty: The best faculty members were there who were very helpful and competent. Lectures were very interactive including live sessions, presentations and short movies. Lots of guest lectures were there which provide a great knowledge. The student-faculty ratio 65:1. A lot of industry exposure was there due to guest lectures. The course curriculum was well-designed and practical.

It's not an expensive college, for BMM, the fee would be less than 20,000 INR for a year. The entrance exam is tough.
