My review of this college.

Placements: The placement cell of St Xavier's University, Kolkata, creates a platform where students can showcase their talents. Different companies seek to explore and utilise them. Companies like Deloitte, KPMG, NestleD, Amazon, HDFC Bank, BookMyShow, Britannia, Pepsico, and other various companies come for campus placements. The average package offered ranges from 4-5 LPA, and the highest package is 25 LPA. All interested students can apply to companies they wish to get jobs through the placement cell. T...

It has well-structured academics, decent faculty, and good scope for growth but limited campus life.

Placements: In my course, not many students applied for placements, so I think probably like 5% of students got placements. We do have an idea since I have not applied for placements. 80% of students got internships in companies like Fortis, Apollo, etc. I actually don't have much idea about it. Top roles are offered as nobody applied for placements in my course.

I have a bitter-and-sweet relationship with campus.

Placements: As a student of Xavier's, I can confidently share an honest overview of the placement and internship opportunities given to us in the law department are quite low in comparison to other departments in our college. Overall the training and placement cell was active and is providing valuable support in resume building and coordinating with recruiters.

Be cautious of your attendance at SXUK otherwise a good college for your media career.

Placements: I am a B.A. mass communication student from semester 3. About 65-70% of students got placed. The highest package is 6 LPA, and the lowest salary is around 2.5 LPA. The average salary is nearly 4 LPA. Top recruiters included ABP News, The Times Group, Zee Media, and more PR firms. Around 70% of secured internships in companies like NDTV, Ogilvy, etc.

St. Xavier's University - A hub of knowledge.

Placements: The college has a pretty good placement rate, with big companies coming to the campus to hire its students. The college has a good reputation because of Xavier's name, thus companies and organizations always want to come here and hire the best available students for their firm.

Hi,
You have a chance of getting seat in your desired college with your percentile marks. Over the years, Great lakes will definitely get admission to MBA course at a cutoff percentile of 70 only, and 75 percentile is more than enough to avail the course.
