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.

Review of St. Xavier's College Kolkata.

The average package for the college is 75,000 per month, and there are a lot of companies that offer placements on campus.

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.
