Remarks

College management is very professional. The ranking of my college is 7 in overall in India. And the score is A. So this is one of the best college in India.

Course Curriculum Overview

The teachers were very much helpful. They provide us great lessons and the practical classes were very helpful. I leants the solid state physics here and hope to be a teacher in near future. There are to special streams for masters in physics. Astrophysics and solid state physics. I opted for the 2nd one. I hope I can be a good teacher in the near future with all experience I gathered from my college days.

Class Size: 45

Placement Experience

2.5

As my course didn't offer any kind of direct placement, so there were no companies there. But for other streams there were some companies to offer placement such as editor in newspapers, It sectors etc.

College Events

Various events were celebrated in college campus. They were such a stress busters for us. Such as Beyond barriers, convocation ceremony, freshers party, annual spots, technical programs etc. Many great artists came to perform there. The technical programs were truely amazing.

Fee Structure And Facilities

A bit expensive for a middle class family which I belong to. Fees structure is not so cheap. And u have to pay in every 3 months. It is really a burden for families like us. There are late fees too. And u have to pay exam form fill up fees too. There are also various fees u habe to pay.

Fees and Financial Aid

College does offer scholership. But it alwas after one year and only one student can get that. So it was not much of a help for me.

Campus Life

4.5

The gender ratio is quite balanced out there. Though I guess there are more girls than boys in the college. There is no politics inside the college. So it is a good sign. The raging is strictly prohibided in the college. The students are from various backgrounds. So no problem with the economical status.

Alumni/Alumna

One thing for sure u can not interac with your college seniors. Everyone is busy with there own study or group. So no help from the seniors. But teachers can help u in your study purpose. They are always there to help me. The lab technitians are also very helpful.

Admission

I have to go through an entrance examination for the selection. At first I have to fill up the form. Then they fixed a date for the exam. I passed that exam. There were almost 1000 candidates. And only 45 was selected. Luckily I was one of then. Some students were selected after the 2nd list was announced. It was a dream come true for me.

Faculty

There are no less than 10 lecturers available all the time. Even the Dean of the Arts and Science also took our class. They are very humble and supportive. As well as they are one of the top teachers in West Bengal. Student of one of them in Mr. Sundar Pichai, the CEO of Google. Avarage age will be no less than 45 and they all are P. hd holders from various renouned universities across the planets.

My thoughts on our beloved Sidho Kanho Birsha University.

Likes

The most I liked about my university is the infrastructure and availability of facilities for our studies.
Second thing I like are our professors . They help us in every aspect of our educational or personal life .
Third thing I like the most is my batchmates who gives me encouragement for pursuing my studies.

Dislikes

The university is a bit far from the Purulia city . So the connectivity is a problem.
I think if we get some extra hours of the lab facilities, that will be great.
Water purifier are available in some of the floors I think the number should be increased.

Placement Experience:

The campus placement of our university is quite good and it is getting better day by day. Especially our chemistry department is doing great in this field. Last year our dept almost hit 100% placements and the highest package was of 5 lpa. I am planning to peruse my PhD after MSc.

Environment is good for study. The spacious campus is the main attraction.
Different kind of seminar held for improvement of our study.

Dislikes

Classrooms are not well designed and too small
They don't offer any placement for every department

I chose this college over other colleges due to its high reputation, especially regarding the B.Com course. The college also has a very prestigious range of alumni and good placement opportunities. It consistently ranks among the top colleges in our country, most recently gaining the 6th position on the NIRF scale. The college also has a well-reputed faculty and a record of good teaching. The college admission process was fairly simple. It was an online process - and included filling up a detailed admission form along with online submission of necessary documents. After that came the payment of the application fee. The selection lists containing the names of selected students came out a few weeks later, with a link for the payment of the admission fee for the first semester. Following that was the physical verification of documents, on completion of which the admission process was formally complete....Read More

St Xavier's College is the best

I would like to start with these college facilities: Faculties are well experienced and with good knowledge and have proper communication way. The infrastructure is of this college is the best I . Classrooms are equipped with AC in summer and are huge to prevent suffocating. Admission is a very easy process here with less paperwork, have to simply apply online or fill forms and each form costs 1000 (at my time). Have to carry results and certificates of other exams and the minimum marks are required to get selected. And thereafter give a written test on the campus and thereafter give an interview over there. If you will be qualified they may get in touch with you through mobile and email also. The forms are out in the month of June and the dates are fluctuating. Before taking admission I have done a lot of research through friends and have also seen its review on the website Collegedunia. These college facilities are good and the education provided is best. The admission fees are quite heavier....Read More

The discipline in the college is admirable. Lack of political activities has made it what a college exists for in the first place, that is, pursuing higher studies. Every year, Semester VI student is given a chance to provide a thorough, detailed review and feedback of the college without any fear of persecution. This is truly remarkable....Read More
