Should I apply for admission to St Xaviers University Kolkata?

Alumni say that it all depends on what you choose to study at SXUK. There could be better colleges than SXUK Kolkata, but there is top notch faculty there. If you are serious about your course, their knowledge and experience will make you fall in love with your subject. Even on the co-curricular front, it gives you ample opportunities to excel if you have the interest. There are different clubs and societies for numerous interests. Also, you are surrounded by brilliant minds as your friends so that's a bonus.

How are MBA placements at St Xavier's University Kolkata?

Alumni report that the management at St Xavier's Kolkata told them to not choose HR as a specialisation, as they won't have enough jobs and they won't be responsible for placements. Placements for MBA are pathetic. The big companies like Deloitte, and EY hire students in roles which don't need MBA graduates. The placement officer threatens students and is extremely impolite. The placement cell indulges in malpractices like showing companies which haven't hired a single student in placement brochures. MBA students appear in the same pool placements with BCom, Eco Hons, Eco M.A, BMS students though they pay three times more money and have to pay the compulsory hostel fee. For management education, you'll get the same placement for much lower fees in Kolkata.

The best and brief review of St Xaviers University Newtown Kolkata

Likes

Lots of events and fests are conducted throughout, there is one main fest Xavrang and all dept fests and several Society fests all year round and as a musician personally it is a very good opportunity to grow and connect with likeminded individuals.
The Institute runs on a no ragging and no politics polocy and people there actually see no ragging nor any political stand offs
There are several fast food and entertainment spots around 5kms of the college both cheap and expensive which are a breather for us.

Dislikes

75% attendance must be maintained till the end sem exams or the candidate is debarred and have to re register next year with the same registration fee, medical issues are often not considered.
They randomly introduce 500 or 1000 fee claiming to enhance the learning experience and the students are required to pay it within a short notice.
The security guards are very rude and also the college only allows coller Tshirts no round necks

Student Snaps:

Internships Opportunities:

They give internship opportunities from the second year and for my course they partner with SVF Delloite Aj Tak India today, etc to provide hands on experience of the industry, where they make you do stuff like studio work with photography videography or graphic design and desk or feild work like journalism content writing and copy writing and PR work

St. Xavier's College (Autonomous), Kolkata , a dream come true.

Likes

The faculty in the college is great, from concept clarity to doubt solving , unlike most of the colleges , the professors are willing to give their time to students as much as they need.
The courses in the college are structured in a way which helps the students to visualise and enjoy the process of learning, even the theoretical parts are made interesting by taking real life cases and examples.
Ther are lots of events that happen in the college , and the annual fest, the XAVOTSAV , is the biggest highlight for every year. So, even the extra curricular activities are sorted for a student. Hence you can live college life at it's best.

Dislikes

There are few rules like boys cannot wear round neck t shirts, girls cannot wear too short dresses and many more.
The college is often criticized for it's strict attendance rules of 75% attendance compulsory to sit in the semester exams.
The B.Com (Morning) course is an only boys batch but the day classes and evening classes are co-ed, so the college should consider making b.com morning all a co-ed course as after 10 am the students have almost a whole day to day anything the want.

Placement Experience:

The college's placements have been great since the past few years, as the highest packages going upto 23-24 lakhs and the average packages being 8-9 lakhs. Many companies like Accenture, Deloitte, KPMG, PwC, IBM, EY, Dabur , Godrej etc. come every year for recruitment in the college. The students become eligible for campus placements from the final year of their course, however this may vary for different courses.

St. Xavier's University - One of a kind in Kolkata

Likes

Campus, the college has a pretty well established campus with highly advanced classrooms and labs and a good infrastructure for students.
Culture, the high approach towards academic success and discipline followed by the college is incomparable.
Highly qualified and well behaved teachers, who are always available to help the students whenever they need them.

Dislikes

The surroundings, because of being situated in a under development area, there are not much resources around the college. Mostly the places are being build and are currently barren.
The intense pressure on attendance, students are sometimes forced to maintain a high attendance in order to appear for the exams, which being a student of mass communication causes some problem to me atleast.
Not so happening, the college has a grand annual event but apart from it there are not much happening in the college.

Internships Opportunities:

Internships like, Consultancy are given, where mass comm people are asked to consult the clients on their various needs. Marketing is also provided, where people from mass comm and business studies are asked to join the marketing team of companies and work for their profit.

The Xaverian Experience

Likes

One of the best things about this college is that it’s heat proof, all the classrooms including halls and auditorium, it’s all air conditioned.
The campus size is huge, there’s a lot to do and a lot of activities can be pursued in the campus.
The faculty members are quite supportive and they’re always present to guide their students.

Dislikes

The college administration is extremely strict about attendance.
The attendance restriction makes it hard for students who wish to pursue professional courses like CA/CS/CFA.
Even though the college has a huge infrastructure, not many students like to engage in different activities.

Internships Opportunities:

As far as I know, this college does offer internships but I cannot name the companies right now, as a UG student, I have just entered the college 2 months ago and I'm trying my best to gather all the knowledge.
