What Students Say

The canteen food of the college is sometimes stale.
The classrooms are small and does not have air conditioning.

Course Curriculum Overview

3.5

There is a 4 years Curriculum Course of B.A Hons in English with 8 semesters. But however, we can discontinue the classes after 3 years with only a bachelor's degree. If we wish to continue the classes after 3 years, we can opt for research which will only be eligible to students with a minimum 75% aggregate in 3 semesters, and get an honors degree with research after the 4th year. We can also take it without research and get an honors degree. It provides internships that can be added to our resume. The course needs to provide more subject options such as library science, human rights, psychology, and education. The exams are very difficult and tough to score. Too many assignments and not much time is given to complete them. The credits are very difficult to score.

Class Size: 100Course Fees: INR 31900 per year

Internships Opportunities

The internship opportunities are available after the 3rd year. It provides credits as well as adds to our job resume. The internship includes social services like giving out food packets to the poor and other college camps.

Fees and Financial Aid

A total of 31900 including admission, additional, tuition, session, registration, first-semester exam, development, mark sheet, library, and cyber facility fee was required after getting selected for the college. Reservations are available for Christian, SC, OBC students. The scholarship is available to all students who score a min of 50% in each semester.

Campus Life

4.5

St Xavier's College is widely known for its events. The most famous event of this college is Xavotsav which takes place for 3 days. Famous singers are sponsored and tickets are sold outside the campus. The tickets are free for the students studying at this college. There are many food stalls here. Other events include Xuberance and Xavocristi. Xavocristi is another famous event here for only catholic students from classes 6 to 12. Corpus Christi procession is held from the college ground.

Admission

Eligibility of the course is an aggregate of 55% in the subject you wish to do honours with and best of 3 subjects in your board exam. However students with 90% and above have a higher chance of being selected. Application form is available on their college website sxccal.in with a charge of 600.

Faculty

The teachers are less compared to the students. The English Department teachers are very good. It is one of the best colleges in West Bengal to study English. They are also very polite and helpful. We interact with the teachers quite often to clear our doubts.

Dislikes

Things i disliked was the most has to be the locality the college is really nice but the locality is a bit shady

I always wanted to take up Journalism as a career and the thing which caught my attention in this college is that they have a fully equipted studio room and other colleges may have one but the students even publish there own news report here it prepars us very well for the real world

My Experience at Jaipuria to summed it up.

Likes

Quality education and an academically enriching environment. Most importantly, well- versed professors.
Extra- curriculum activities, along with an active sports cell and NCC, and usually various opportunities to participate in Inter-College Competitions.
Well maintained gym with separate timings for girls and boys. The canteen offers a wide variety of foods at an affordable price.

Dislikes

For my department, there was no educational excursion.
Negligence internship opportunities are available for my course.
Only some placement opportunities are available, and companies like TCS and Wipro came up for campus placement.

Course Curriculum Overview:

My passion and a bit of curiosity in International Relations led me to choose this course. The curriculum, in fact, prepared me well for further academic pursuits. For improvement, educational excursions and internship opportunities should be made available. The exam is held twice a year on semester basis, with papers set at a moderate to difficult level.

A balanced view of campus life and learning

Likes

The English department has experienced and supportive teachers. Most professors explain concepts clearly and encourage discussions, close reading and critical thinking.
The course is very affordable, especially compared to private colleges. With scholarships, it becomes accessible for students from middle and lower income backgrounds.
The college has a friendly and diverse student crowd. The girls to boys ratio is balanced with slightly more female students, which creates a comfortable learning atmosphere.

Dislikes

The infrastructure needs improvement. Classrooms and common areas could be better maintained and modern facilities are limited.
There are very few placement opportunities for arts students.
Although some academic events take place, extracurricular activities and active student societies could be improved for better campus life.

Placement Experience:

There are limited on campus placement opportunities here, especially for Arts and Eng Hons students. Most students focus on higher studies, competitive exams or off campus opportunities after graduation. The college provides basic guidance through teachers but formal placement drives are rare.

Ramakrishna Mission Vidyamandira: A Life Changing Experience

Likes

The college has an ideal atmosphere for studying and the hostel accommodation allowed for close bonding with seniors who helped us out in studies as well as personal matters. The teachers are extremely talented and treated us with care and respect.
It is an all boys college and it is without any doubt a ragging-free campus. There is anti-ragging cell as well as student councelling cell available on the campus to help out with these issues.
The experience of hostel life and the close sense of community that is formed during my stay has been instrumental in my growth and the strict implementation of discipline in our daily lives enriched me and changed my life for the better.

Dislikes

The administration is not always the best. Applications, forms, seminars and event permits all required a long time to get approved by the authorities as most of the time it meant compromising our strict schedule as it is a residential college.
The average food quality in the mess could be better. Again it is not always the best but for the most part it is decent.

Course Curriculum Overview:

The curriculum provides a comprehensive retrospective of literature from the Old English period to Modern period, while also including English works by Indian authors to demonstrate the diversity and evolution of English literature over the years. The current curriculum I believe requires more seminars and lectures from guest faculties on contemporary research and topics.

Proper overall satisfactory experience.

Likes

My overall experience is too good with good environment
I get proper theoretical knowledge from experienced faculties.
We get hands on experience from different star categories of hotels during the course in every weekend.

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- The Dream College

Choosing this College, was hands down the best decision for my career aspects. It comes under top 10 universities. As it is located in the heart of Kolkata, that makes it more amazing. Kolkata is truly a City of Joy. Experiencing my College life here in Kolkara, with a Xaverian tag, is a dream of a lot of students.

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
