St Xavier's Mumbai Reviews on Placements, Faculty and Facilities

The curriculum is very well balanced in terms of relevance to current world topics. In the case of sociology I don't think it prepares you for real world jobs as the Sociology curriculum is very theory based and it doesn't teach a lot of real world applications, but it does thoroughly prepare you for further academic pursues such as purse using your masters in a different country. They teach you to write complex thesis and dissertations which are necessary skills to know. The teaching methods could be improved and a lot of teachers could work on the feedback that they received from the Student feedback forms, as several of the teachers are not good at engaging the students during lectures and often make them fall asleep. The frequency and timing of exams is pretty balanced, the difficulty is also just right but the marking system could be a bit more lenient.

we can apply for placements during a third year and students without backlog are eligible to apply for the placements which are available in the college. The companies that visited our college during my third year are Deloitte KP MGJP Morgan EY and other multinational companies, the highest package that was offered to a Student in our college was 36,00,000 per annum and the average package was eight lakh and the percentage of students getting placed in our college is very high due to our excellence and knowledge. My plan after getting this degree to pursue masters in ancient history, and I'm also planning to go abroad to countries like Ireland, UK for my higher studies.

I was very clear since the beginning that i wanted to pursue BA as i want to do B.Ed ahead so BA English would br of great help. The course curriculum is good other than some aspects like poetry, not many people have keen interest and it's a difficult paper to attempt and score

For mass media especially, there's few to no placements but it's easy to find your own placement if you flaunt your course and the soft skills that they equip you with. Internships are something that for mass media courses the college is keen on, they've also made it a part of the marking system.

Some aspects of the curriculum that influenced my decision to choose this course is my intrest in the subject and also the efficiency of the faculty in Xavier's . The curriculum is very practical based and helps us for real world applications and offers internships that prepares us for the corporate world . Sometimes the timings of the course are hard to cope up with . The only improvement could be in the timings and the hectic schedule.

I'm studying History and Archaeo and I'm interested in that field. The methods used for teaching are PPTs, Showing us various archaeological structures in our very own college museum, etc. The timing and syllabus for exams is based on what the professors teach and they prepare us well for it

My course wasnt my first choice at all. I was kinda pushed into that direction. But sociology/ anthropology department is the best department. Amazing teaching staff and with relevance to curriculum; very systematic and very thorough. Amazing job with reference to connect the portion with today's times. Teachers go out of their way to make the subject more engrossing and understanding.

The college is unique for its dynamic group of students, experienced faculty and the exposure provided by the atmosphere in the college. The extra curricular activities and the social involvement programme are special attractions which help the students to gain new skills during the academic course. The beautiful architecture gives a special ambience and adds to the beauty of the institution.

It is one of the top colleges for arts and it's autonomous. It's got a great faculty and lot of opportunities for self advancement. I applied for psychology as it was something I was interested in and the syllabus was really holistic.

The vibe, ambience and the people in this college make it the college it is. It's literally a way of life. The exposure that the college provides is world apart and I was drawn because of that. Also the various fests, activities, ECC, SIP programmes help us reach newer potentials. The different committees also boost the morale and help the students develop a niche for themselves.
