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.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure available is really up to the mark, with a full-fledged studio and several media equipment available for mass communication. The college has a lot of essential equipment. However, the hostel facility available is quite expensive, being around Rs. 80,000 per semester, which is quite expensive for everyone to afford the hostel facility.

Faculty: The faculty and curriculum available for my course are quite well. It's constantly evolving by implementing the latest trends in the field of media. They constantly try to give students a much more experiential knowledge rather than a theory-based one. The faculty is highly qualified, with everyone willing to communicate with the students and trying to find solutions to their problems.

Other: The main reason I chose this course is my interest in the field of media. Thus, I always wanted to pursue mass communication, and finding a college like St. Xavier's has always been on my bucket list.

Honest Review of St. Xavier's University, Kolkata by a Mass Communication student.

Placements: I am pursuing a B.A. in Mass Communication, and my expected graduation year is 2027. 89% of the students in the course were placed, with the highest package offered being 30 LPA in the field of MBA. Top recruiting companies for our course include ABP, Zee, SVF, etc. Additionally, 70% of the students secured internships from companies such as ABP, Zee, SVF, etc. The top roles offered in my course are news reporter, anchor, mass communicator, etc.

Infrastructure: The facilities provided in my college are great. The rooms are Wi-Fi equipped with CCTV monitoring. There is a huge library on the campus with lots of books; it's also been referred to as the knowledge palace. The quality of facilities in my hostel is great as it's a relatively new building equipped with multiple modern facilities. The quality of food in the canteen is great, and there is both non-veg and veg food available. The campus has a special medical centre for injuries, and the nurses and frontline workers there will assist you with your injury and discomfort very well. The college consists of a huge sports team as well.

Faculty: The faculty is great and the curriculum is also very relevant according to today's time. I would say that the teaching quality is average or slightly above average as the professors don't connect deeply with the students and they should be much more free when teaching. Yes, the curriculum is very relevant as it deals with daily challenges and it makes students industry-ready due to the vast varieties of practical work taught by the professors. The semester exams difficulty is moderate and not too tough. There are 2 semesters in a year and each semester has 2 exams. Most of the students pass the exams, hence the pass percentage is high and greater than 95%.

Other: I chose this course because I had an interest in the field of Mass Communication and wanted to progress in this field. The best thing about this course is that students are not under pressure of tough concepts or bounded by syllabus and hence they can understand the topics at their own pace. Also, the subjects included in mass communication are very interesting to learn. The thing that could be improved about the course is by adding more modern things and relatively things, although the syllabus and curriculum are very well organized for the modern date but there still lies some things which should be updated. Every year a major fest (XAVRANG) is held during the months of February or March and it's a huge event, a lot of popular artists perform during this event and a lot of fun takes place. The Campus crowd is very talented and very helping. The campus surroundings are good as well as it's in a relatively good place with malls nearby and the modern Kolkata in sight. Scholarships are given provided that one scores 85% in end sem and so 25% of their total expenditure in college will be paid back. A lot of extracurricular activities are also there which will make any student overwhelmed.

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.

Infrastructure: The mass communication department has well-equipped classrooms with smartboards, high-speed Wi-Fi, and an audio-visual MAC lab for media production and graphic design. There is also a studio, editing suite, and camera equipment. Hostel facilities come with clean rooms, 24X7 water, Wi-Fi, and electricity. The food in the mess is average but hygienic. They also provide special meals during special events. Facilities such as games, room, gym, and sports courts are also available. One drawback is that all rooms are non-AC rooms and in the Kolkata heat, they do not permit any kind of external installations like coolers.

Faculty: Faculty members at SXUK are highly qualified, approachable, and have many industry backgrounds. Teaching quality is good with practical and theory-based learning. The curriculum is NEP 2020 aligned and covers journalism, advertising, PR, and communication skills that make students industry-ready. Hence, the passing percentage is approximately 85-90%.

Other: Attendance is a crucial thing followed on the campus where a candidate is required to maintain 75% attendance rate at all times and often medical exceptions. Also, not considered to lead to the department of students unfairly making them re-register in the next academic year with the same fees and formalities.

Excellent infrastructure and facilities but disappointed with the lack of placements.

Placements: The course as we all know is vast and way different than other popular fields. This is a course which needs proper guidance, which the faculty of this university provides. But if we talk about placements, you might get disappointed a little as we are not offered or rather we do not get enough information regarding placements from this particular course in Bachelors degree.

Infrastructure: Facilities and infrastructures will impress you. All the classrooms have centralised air conditioners, provides Wi-Fi, one can study in the reading room whenever they feel like and lend books from the library as well. The labs and studio are excellent. Hostel rooms are not bad and the food available in the mess and canteen are not very disappointing. You will be encouraged to participate in different kind of events including sports and games.

Faculty: The professors are helpful and knowledgeable as well. You won't hesitate to approach them when required. You will enjoy the course but the industry is such that it might take some time to make you industry ready, but with increasing number of contacts and sources you will get the required help and guidance. The semester exams are not very difficult and you will have to get atleast 40 out of 100 in each paper, failing which you have to appear for arrear tests which are slightly easy and leniently checked.
