College timings can be reduced.

Faculty: Teachers are, in fact, very qualified and knowledgeable. Most of the teachers teach quite well, and the quality of teaching is very good. The course curriculum is also very relevant, even though law is not a subject that can make students industry-ready. The exams are moderate, and the pass percentage is close to 93%.

My review of this college.

Faculty: Faculty members are very helpful. They are always more than willing to guide students. We are always encouraged to meet our professors after the classes for any problems, and there are extra classes as well for underperforming students. They teach very well, and individual attention is given to every student. They are cooperative and very nice. Exams are conducted on a semester basis. There are 2 semesters per year. Semesters of 6 months each of 10 marks, along with the semester exams of 80 mark...

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

Faculty: The faculty in each and every department is friendly and cooperative, they try to help the students as much as possible. The course curriculum has relevance in the practical world and the course is not that difficult if you focus on the classes and listen to the lectures delivered by the professors.

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

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%.

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

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.

Teachers always keep on tracking our progress, which is the best quality of the teacher here. Nevertheless, the college has excellent faculty. Semester exams are easy, and the pass rate is 78%.

Our college provides good infrastructure.

Faculty: Faculty members of commerce and management departments are very kind, good, and helpful. Other departments like arts and social are not veyr friendly. Exams are very difficult. The passing marks are around 40 out of 100. The course does not make you ready for the industry. You need to do something else. It is very textual doesnt make you ready for field work or jobs.

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.
