Our campus is good. It has advanced facilities with a good education.

Placements: Almost 100% of students get summer internships. Around 48 students get summer placements out of 49 registered students. Almost 70% of students have been placed out of 31 companies that participated in placements drives. The top recruiting companies are Deloitte India, Buyers Foresight, Netscribes, PWC India, Flair tree, Bank of America, Global data, Career Labs, and other such prominent organizations. The highest salary package offered is 10 LPA.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure and facilities are the best, among the colleges in Kolkata. There is access to Wi-Fi on the campus, smart classrooms with centralised air-conditioning, separate library, and research building named for arrupe with both lending and reading sections. There are separate hostels for both girls and boys called as the Mother Teresa Residence and Tagore residence respectively. Hostel mess, canteen, football field, basketball court, gymnasium, and indoor games facilities are available as well. The quality of the food is good, and it has adequate medical facilities, and provides room for sports and games.

Faculty: The quality of education is very updated, advanced, and rich. Students are encouraged to take keen interest in research work within the department to enhance their interest in the subject. The department has highly qualified faculty members who are helpful and knowledgeable. The course curriculum is one the best in its kind, which provides the base for competitive examinations in the future and makes students industry-ready. The semester examinations are challenging but with regular attendance of lectures by professors, students can secure good grades in the course. The pass percentage is nearly 99.8%.

Other: Choosing economics honors would make me aware of the economic issues globally and nationally. Also, being a lover of mathematics and statistics I opted for this course for my career. More contact with the professors and a separate room for query discussion with teachers seems lacking in this course. The department of economics at SXUK hosts its annual economic summit every year, interactive webinars hosted by eminent speakers, workshops, and other guest lectures by eminent professors from other institutions. Also, students have different societies in which students can be a part of Xavecos for economics students. Emphasis is given to non-academic activities like extracurricular activities, sports, and social work.
