Very good infrastructure and experienced faculty.

Placements: The placements are not satisfactory, not many people get placed after completing this course. Most of us pursue higher studies in this field. The placement cell of the college is quite helpful and its representative always tries to help us in the best way possible.

Infrastructure: Our classrooms have built in projectors and computers which help teachers to present the slides on the screens. The canteen is really affordable and the food is quite tasty, plus the ambience of the canteen is very soothing. The mess of the hostel is also quite nice.

Faculty: Our professors are highly experienced and very proficient in their field of work. Their classes are always exam oriented. Frequent assessment through class tests also made us exam ready from day 1. The professors are really friendly and helpful towards the students.

It has good faculty members and a campus with a clean and good environment.

Placements: The beginning salary package offered ranges from 3-4 LPA after graduation, as per my knowledge. The highest salary package offered is 5 LPA. There are pretty good placements in this economy where graduation is a very common degree. The fee is very affordable, and teachers are accessible throughout the day. The placement cell is also active for any queries.

Infrastructure: It has a good campus with a good environment. It is kept clean with good management. There is no ragging, and students need to submit an anti-ragging form beforehand that clearly states rustication as punishment if found guilty of ragging. Seniors are also pretty helpful. Overall, the college has a very nice vibe.

Faculty: Our college has good faculty members and teachers. They are helpful with seamless communication, even via WhatsApp. Regular classes and attendance are encouraged by teachers. Full help is provided from their end to solve any queries of students. Class tests are also conducted every once in a while, along with presentation demos.

Offered by St. Xavier's College Kolkata

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

Placements: An undergraduate course in Physics is typically not job-oriented. Majority of the pass-out students have secured positions for M.Sc. or Ph.D. in IITs, IISERs, and other institutes. Some of them have also secured higher study offers from France and other countries. It must be noted that our last passout batch was a non-NEP batch and typically completed honours within 3 years.

Infrastructure: Classrooms and library are 5 stars. But undergraduate labs are 1 star. So total 3 stars, the weighted average. We have filed a petition to change the outdated, ineffective lab equipments but still no action. We are optimistic that there will be reforms soon. Post NEP, lots of changes are being made. So, we expect changes in these too.

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. The course, along with its minor in CS or chemistry offers leverage in other industries as well.

St. Xavier's College Kolkata- An abode of knowledge.

Placements: The placement cell of the college works around the clock to ensure that students can avail themselves of jobs that nurture them and push them to the best version of themselves. Mathematics and statistics are some of the highest placed branches, with people landing jobs in consulting, teaching, research positions, grants and other brilliant opportunities.

Infrastructure: While I am not a hosteller, I can say that the college infrastructure is second to None. We have all-day Wi-Fi, good food in canteens, a TV room, a ground, and a basketball court. The laboratories are big and well-equipped. All in all, the college environment fosters both academic merit and co-curricular activities.

Faculty: The faculty in St. Xavier's College Kolkata, is excellent and well-qualified, often of good academic/professional repute. Most professors are extremely motivating and welcoming, allowing us to pick their brains whenever we spot them in the canteen. The examinations are competitive and definitely not easy to score well in, but the class coverage and the post-test feedback provide a huge drive in the learning journey.

Satisfied with college. However, extremely strict discipline makes campus life very school-like.

Placements: About 70% students were placed. The highest package is 15 LPA. Average package is 10 LPA, and lowest package is 5 LPA. Top recruiting companies are Deloitte, PwC, ICICI, TCS, and EY. 90% of second and third year students secured an internship. Data-centric or Data analytics-based roles.

Infrastructure: The popular green bench area is Wi-Fi enabled. 3 computer labs, 1 smart lab, 1 high-performance data Science lab, and 1 finance lab are at disposal for use by Statistics students of this college. Two fully equipped air-conditioned audio-visual rooms with an accommodation capacity of approximately 70 students each are available for Statistics classes. Central library (the general purpose library) and Goethals library (the historic volumes). Hostel contains a variety of rooms and is equipped with a hygienic mess. Department of Sports offers several sporting options and maintains respective college teams.

Faculty: Teachers were helpful, well-qualified, and definitely knowledgeable. Teaching quality is high enough for the students to understand the concepts in depth. Course curriculum is totally industry relevant, and the supporting projects and assignments help the students become acquainted with the needs of the real world. Semester exams are of standard difficulty, enough to test the readiness of the students as per the syllabus of that particular semester. Across the entire course, the pass rate averages approximately 40%.

My experience at St. Xavier's College, Kolkata.

Placements: The percentage of students placed in M.Sc. courses is generally high, with an average CTC of 10 LPA, more or less, though it differs from course to course. In M.Sc. in Data Science, one can expect a CTC as high as 25-30 LPA, whereas most of the time, B.Sc. students don't sit in a placement drive. If you sit, you can expect 3-10 LPA, more or less. The placement cell is very effective in helping you find all kinds of jobs and internships.

Infrastructure: There is free Wi-Fi for students, and the library system is quite excellent, with a good number of books and access to numerous important websites and newspapers like the Hindu online paper. The hostel facility is good as far as I heard, because I am a local student, so I don't use the hostel. Most of the classrooms are equipped with AC, and there are labs to hold practical classes.

Faculty: The faculty is quite experienced and always helpful. The course curriculum is well planned as per the NEP. Sometimes you can feel difficulty in understanding the classes, though the professors help if you ask. Exams are conducted in a 2 month difference, and there are two exams in each semester, that is, end semester exam and the mid-semester exam. The questions generally come from the syllabus and what is taught in class.

Other: As you know, I guess St Xavier's hosts the biggest fest among all colleges of Kolkata, i.e., Xavotsav, which happens on a very big scale and is always very fun. Not only that, there are several societies in college based on cultural, science, business, etc. Feel free to join, you will definitely enjoy it. As far as the course is concerned, I have a batch strength of 58, where the highest SGPA is 10. So, you can get marks if you study at least a B.Sc. in Statistics.
