ST Xavier's Kolkata B.Ed : Fees 2026, Course Duration, Dates, Eligibility

The admission process at St. Xavier's College starts with a merit list based on academic marks from 10th grade to post-graduation, if applicable, with quotas for minority groups. Selected candidates undergo an interview assessing both subjective and general knowledge. After selection, students attend a welcome ceremony and foundation course before starting classes in July. The college boasts a highly qualified faculty, mostly with PhDs, known for their supportive yet strict guidance.

The overall fees are generally fair, with some courses costing 52,000 and the B.Ed program priced at approximately 70,000 for two years. Scholarships and fee concessions are available based on course and family income, and detailed fee information is accessible on the college's website. The college achieves an 85% placement rate, with top recruiters like DE Shaw offering packages of Rs 23 LPA, and companies such as Accenture and Axxela providing Rs 10 LPA.

However, placement assistance is reportedly lacking despite a dedicated placement cell. Internships begin in the last semester, with trainee teachers having an observation period in the 2nd semester and a 3-month internship in the 3rd semester at esteemed schools. No stipends are provided for these internships. Financial assistance for tuition and hostel fees is offered to students with documented financial needs. For those receiving external scholarships or loans, cheque deposits must be made to the college treasurer's office at least seven days before the fee deadline.
