Review of St. Xavier's College Mumbai.
Placements: The highest salary offered was Rs. 35,000 per month and the lowest salary offered was Rs. 10,000 per month. About 20-25% of the students from our course got placed in companies like CSMVS, Godrej Archives, Cipla Archives, Maritime Society, INTACH, Numismatic Society of India and St Xaviers College.
Infrastructure: The college provides classrooms with basic requirements. The campus has a good and vast library section, which is divided into two reference section and the lending section. Quality of food served in the canteen is good. Medical facilities are good. The college provides gymkhana on campus which provides the facility of yoga and games.
Faculty: Teachers in our college are definitely scholars in their own field, but not all of them very able to fulfil students requirements. Their teaching quality needs a lot of improvement in the teaching methods. The course curriculum is relevant, and it helps in dealing with current-day challenges. This course prepares students and gives diversity in career option in different industries.
Other: I have chosen this course because this course attracted me to know and learn more about the subjects in depth. The course has a beautiful platter of subjects that it offers. I wish the college should improve faculty members teaching techniques. The college organises our departmental fest every year, with creativity based on the course. The connectivity is extremely convenient. Extracurricular activities are not conducted for PG students.

St. Xavier's College Mumbai.
Placements: There is no campus placement in my course as it is academically focused. However, other courses like BDA, XIC, and Management have placement opportunities. According to students from these courses, placements are great. Our professors provide various internship opportunities to enhance our knowledge.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure is well-designed and includes ramps and lifts for specially-abled people. It sometimes gets congested during break time. The hostel is available only for boys in odd years and not for girls. The area around the college is slightly expensive, with PG prices starting from Rs.14,000 for double sharing.
Faculty: Exams are conducted in three levels with CIA 1 and 2 for 20 marks each and the end-semester exam for 60 marks. Studies are taken seriously and 75% attendance is mandatory. Students also go on trips to various sites like Dholavira, Elephanta Caves, and Kanheri Caves as per subject requirements. The passing percentage for exams is 40%.
