Absolutely satisfied with the faculty and curriculum, but below average in terms of placements.

Placements: There is not much help in Chemistry regarding placements. Students get internships from ICT, IIT, and Institute of Science. Top roles offered are QC and QA analyst. Students have to find internships on their own. Currently placements are maybe 10 percent. The lowest package maybe is 3 LPA or even less.

Infrastructure: There are excellent wet labs and physical labs. There are basic lab instruments available. Wi-Fi is available and the library continues to offer various books. The canteen offers a variety of menu options which are cheap. College has a gymkhana. There is no internet facility due to a jammer. Other departments have high-tech instruments.

Faculty: Teachers are very helpful and highly qualified. The course is somewhat relevant but still lacks the necessary value for industry and work-level curriculum. The semester exams are moderate to difficult and 40 percent is the passing percentage. There are exams throughout the year. There are other relevant topics like green chemistry, cosmetics, etc. It focuses on academia more than research and industry perspectives.

Other: There are various fests, field trips, field projects, and industrial visits. The best thing about the course is that it is versatile and includes cross-faculty courses.

It has good placements, supportive faculty, and a strong academic environment.

Placements: Around 70 percent of students get placed from our course through campus placements. The highest package offered is 21 LPA, and the lowest package offered is 3 LPA. Some top recruiting companies like Deloitte USI, Accenture, Morgan Stanley, DE Shaw, and Bain & Company hire students from the college.

Infrastructure: The college has good infrastructure in our department. There are AC computer labs with well-equipped systems. The library is well-maintained and includes lots of books and PCs for research and study. Classrooms are spacious and comfortable. The food quality in the mess and canteen is average, but there are multiple food options.

Faculty: Faculty members in the department are helpful, well-qualified, and knowledgeable. They are very approachable, and their teaching quality is great. The course curriculum is relevant and fairly practical. It focuses on both theory and practical application.

Xavier's consistency in producing quality students continues.

Placements: St. Xavier's is known for its placement cell. Top MNCs and Indian companies like EY, KPMG, BCG, Deloitte, DE Shaw, and ICICI offer jobs with good fresher salaries. The highest package offered is 24 LPA, and the lowest offered is 3 LPA. On average, a salary of 5-6 LPA is offered. Companies like Morgan Stanley, Zomato, Salesforce, and Hindustan Unilever also offer internships and later a PPO through the placement cell. Top roles offered are analyst, consultant, relationship manager, talent acquisition HR, marketing, and business development.

Infrastructure: College is well-equipped with 2 multi-media rooms, 2 libraries, a multi-cuisine canteen, 2 computer labs, a Fintech lab, and a basketball and volleyball court, along with 60 classrooms. The college also has very well-equipped and accessible washrooms for the physically challenged. There is an in-built campus hostel just for boys. Student Wi-Fi is available, but with very less connectivity. There is also a gymkhana for exercise, yoga, and indoor sports.

Faculty: Most of the teachers are quite qualified with Masters or a Ph.D. degree. My course professors are quite approachable. Due to the autonomous nature of the college, the course is quite frequently updated with a moderate to high level of difficulty in the exam paper. The assignments assigned often include primary data collection, interviews, field visits, extensive research, and paper presentation seminars. All these factors make students industry-ready to face any pressure. The pass percentage is 95%.

Other: Xavier's is known for its campus life, as it has almost 15 fests and 25+ extracurricular and academic committees, making it a place for any and every person and the talent they possess. Fests like Malhar, IMG, and Ithaka induce an interest in the industry in students along with fun. I majored in Economics and Sociology. These two subjects helped me understand the why and how of human nature, their relationship with money and spending patterns, opening the doors of social impact consulting for me.

B.Sc. in Data Science and Artificial Intelligence - Batch of 2029

A very good and vibrant college.

Placements: Since Data Science and AI come under the IT sector, jobs related to the course are similar to IT and CS, but more focused on analyst, data scientist, and AI/ML roles. The highest package here was up to 20–24 LPA, but as always, it depends on the students. Internships start from the 3rd year.

Infrastructure: They provide a boys’ hostel but not a girls’ hostel. There is a good canteen that has every type of food basically. AC classrooms and labs, a good library, and a playground are available. They give students a mail ID and Wi-Fi as well. They are strict with attendance. The college gives a good historic vibe.

Faculty: Since I haven't met all the faculty yet, but those I have met already are really good and helpful. Precisely, they are very qualified and knowledgeable, and the main thing is they teach really well. I had almost all my lectures interactive. Exams are conducted fairly. The difficulty of exams depends. They are strict with attendance, so be careful and mindful.

Other: There are plenty of fests and campaigns happening almost every week. Y’all are free to participate. It’s a good crowd though. There are ECC activities to collect points, which are compulsory but also fun.

It has a good canteen. The woods are the best place to sit, and all Xavierites will agree with me.

Placements: B.Com BAF, BMS, and MBA courses have a 0-1% placement chance. B.Com is nice as the timings are in the evening, so one can also pursue another professional course or do a part-time job. Many students pursue CS or CA, prepare for government exams, or prepare for the CAT exam. It’s helpful and great, but traveling is quite hectic as it’s an evening college.

Infrastructure: Okay, not that great. Hostels are for boys only. It's okay, but they should have hostels for girls as well, as many students come from different states. It’s difficult to find a safe place to stay. It’s also hard for parents to send their child to a completely different place.

Faculty: Teachers are nice, but the VP and the principal are not cooperative with students. Even when parents come to meet them, they do not resolve doubts or queries properly or provide any suggestions or solutions. However, teachers are more cooperative than the VP and the principal. They listen to our doubts and suggest necessary solutions.

Other: Overall, it is a nice college. Half of the time, there are fests going on, which causes a shortage of attendance among students.

Overall, the college is amazing.

Placements: Placements are nice, with a wide range of companies coming to campus to look for applicants and provide a decent package. It's a good college, and by being in Mumbai, it offers a wide range of companies coming to look for their new recruits. Definitely a good college.

Infrastructure: Excellent infrastructure and hostel if you compare with other colleges. Clean drinking water, electricity, and all the necessary amenities are provided. The building and hostel are all clean and nicely maintained, and the food is not bad, it's better than other places I have tried.

Faculty: Teachers here are well-qualified and have strong subject knowledge. They know how to teach in a way that students can easily understand, and they are very helpful at every step. Such cooperative teachers are rare in colleges, which is a good sign.

Other: It’s totally value for money in terms of studies, campus life, extracurricular activities, and networking with a lot of students from different places. One should aim for a college that gives maximum extracurricular opportunities, and this place is the one.
