What Students Say
Likes
- The fests are quite enjoyable though often I miss them.
- With respect to campus life, it is quite good though there should be more open spaces where students can lounge around.
- Yes, definitely there are teachers who are quite learned and experienced. They are quite loving and can be quite strict at times as well.
Dislikes
- Campus infrastructure needs quite a bit of improvement.
- The curriculum and way of teaching is extremely old and needs upgradation in this time of technology.
- College guaranteed 100%placements which now seems to be disappointing now.
Course Curriculum Overview
I was interested in the computer science course and thus I chose this course. The curriculum follows the usual way of teaching and book-based learning. However, this makes the students quite unworthy of real-world challenges. The curriculum and teaching methods can be changed by introducing peer bonding sessions, hackathon clubs, and pairing up students so that each of them can help each other in their studies. The frequency of the exams is quite okay and it does not as such create any pressure on the students and the difficulty level is probably higher than that of Makaut.
Placement Experience
From the 7th semester, students become eligible for campus placements. There have been quite a few companies that have visited the campus like Nutanix, Accenture, Deloitte, EY GDS, IBM, etc. Variable packages ranging from 4-11lpa have been offered. Till now the percentage of students getting placements is relatively low.
Fees and Financial Aid
Year wise payment : 1.62lacs as each semester is 79k + 2k (exam fees) Tuition fees which include the laboratory and development fees as well: 6.48lacs At the beginning of the course, you will be charged 5k for your uniform and bag. For different fests, a variable amount could be asked which needs to be paid. The fees for BTech are almost equal. However, if some students register in Computer Science with Google Cloud Benefits, they will be charged around 1lac per semester. Yes, there are scholarships available, including government-approved scholarships like student credit cards, SVMCM, etc.
Campus Life
Cultural Fest: Sahotsava (July) Tech Fest: Vivarta (September) There are a number of books and journals available in the library and students can borrow them via library card. Football and cricket (ig) are practiced. There are student groups such as GDSC, Sanskaran, Vivarta Group, etc.
Admission
I applied to St.Xaviers for a BSc. Computer Science and got a confirmed admission. However, it is a BSc. course I decided not to pursue it. One can get admission through JEE Mains, WBJee etc. Also there are management quotas for direct admission.
Faculty
The faculty-to-student ratio is quite messed up at 1:60. But yes, the teachers are approachable and helpful. I shouldn't name my faculties and mark them as favorites but then again I liked my Computer Architecture Ma'am. She is middle-aged and extremely friendly. Her teaching method is quite nice and one can easily understand and learn just by seeing the notes. The AI faculty is also extremely learned and knows a lot. Fortunately, all my faculties were quite nice and thus I wouldn't say I have any teacher whom I don't like. Currently, the exam pattern has changed and students need to give 2-3 mid-term assessments which are 20 marks each followed by 60 or 80 marks for written end-semester exams. There are lab exams with viva voice in finals. Also at the end of the semester, an ESD(Entrepreneurship Subject Domain) presentation is held where each group which consists of 5-6 students from variable domains presents their ideas and projects in front of a jury panel.
Night Life
No such nightlife on campus. Campus timings are 9 am to 7 pm at most. Students are not permitted to be on campus late at night. Hostel facilities are not as such available. Students mostly live as paying- guests or in flats.
