My review of this college.

Infrastructure: Hostel facilities are available for both boys and girls. The hostel has very good maintenance staff members, and strict discipline is maintained. The food is better than in other hostels. However, one shouldn't expect it to be the same as we eat at home.

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

Infrastructure: Every classroom is air-conditioned. It has smart boards with a podium, and seats are somewhat comfortable. There is Wi-Fi, but the connection is too slow and jammers are fitted in classrooms, so there's no network connection at all. I have not opted for hostel facilities, so I don't know about it. The canteen provides very good quality food at an affordable price. Various sports are played on the campus, including annual sports day.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure of the campus is quite good and there are various facilities which are available to the students for their comfort and enjoyment. The library provides access in off-campus mode also. Students can get access to EBSCO, EPW LexisNexis, etc.

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

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 th...

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

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.

Review of St. Xavier's College of Kolkata.

Infrastructure: The hostel timeline is not too good, nor is the food. The seniors in the hostel try to rule over the juniors like bosses. Students of the third year are capable of utilizing the facilities of the placement cell, whereas second years are only allowed to receive guidance. With practically everything maintained and cared for, there is nothing wrong with the college layout. Classrooms and labs are also first-rate. The college has two basketball courts, one volleyball court, and two cafeterias. The f...

Infrastructure: There is no Wi-Fi available. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, with neat desks. The corridors are CCTV monitored, but the classrooms are exempted since it respects the privacy of the students. The campus is air-conditioned, and the students can change the setting anytime and anywhere.
