Good faculty and helpful staff. It has a good NAAC rating.
Placements: Placements did happen and some companies came, but salaries were very low. Having only a graduation degree is not enough for a good job nowadays. I had appeared for placements, but I did not accept the job offer as the salary was too low for me.
Infrastructure: In our department, both AC and non-AC rooms were available. The food in the canteen was average. The rooms were spacious. There were two libraries in the two buildings. Wi-Fi and printers in our department were working. Laptops and computers were also in good condition.
Faculty: Faculty in Physics was very good. Professors were highly qualified and always helped students to learn. They were extremely helpful, and their behavior towards students was also very good. Before exam nights, they were very active in clearing doubts and important questions for students.
Other: Nobody had the authority to harass anyone in the college. Atmosphere was also very good, though there were some exceptions. Overall, according to fee, it was a top-notch college.

Review of St. Xavier's College Kolkata.
Placements: The cutoff after boards is 92-93%, and there are about 600 students in the B.Com Morning Course. The average package for the college is 75,000 per month, and there are a lot of companies that offer placements on campus. The companies usually are the Big Four and Big Six companies and various local companies and MNCs as well.
Infrastructure: The classrooms are huge and can house around 100 students, and most of the classrooms have AC. There are several labs and auditoriums in the college, and the library is very large with ample amounts of books and space for studying, and a canteen as well. The campus is also very big and has several halls and auditoriums.
Faculty: Teachers are quite helpful and knowledgeable, and the teaching quality is great as well. There are a total of 5 periods every day, each lasting 40 minutes. The curriculum is very relevant to other B.Com courses in other colleges, and it is sufficient for the students. The exams are quite regular with 2 exams every semester and seminars to support those exams as well, which are added to the CIA Marks.
Other: I chose this course as the morning timing is quite convenient, even though it is very early. It runs from 6 AM to 10 AM, and there are several events and fests conducted by various clubs and societies in the college, such as Xavotsav, Oncampus, Prism, Initium, etc.

Bachelor of Commerce Hons. (B.Com.) - Batch of 2026

Average college, poor placements, minimal support, and somehow surviving it.
Placements: So far, neither my batchmates nor I have been placed. It is honestly disappointing that none of us has been placed yet. College has not really helped much with placements or opportunities. We completed our course expecting support, but that did not really come. Now we are just left figuring things out on our own. It feels unfair.
Infrastructure: At Lalbaba College, there is no Wi-Fi available. People say there is a lab, but no one has actually seen it. The classrooms are like any typical tier-3 government college, with a capacity of 70–90 students. There is a library which is decent, neither very good nor very bad.
Faculty: A few teachers are helpful and supportive, but many faculty members are not. Some genuinely guide us with the curriculum and projects, while others seem to be just going through the motions. Exams are generally of moderate difficulty, not too tough and not particularly easy either.
Other: I mainly joined to get my graduation degree so I could pursue higher studies. The gap between exams used to be long, but after COVID, it was reduced drastically. In my Accounting Honours course, most students knew how to solve problems, but their actual understanding was quite low. Apart from a few events like Holi and Saraswati Puja, the college does not organize many fests or extracurricular activities.
