What Students Say
Likes
- Best in class facilities for the labs as computer labs here are of top quality.
- Girls have complete freedom as even though the college is run by father's, girls get equal opportunities here.
Dislikes
- Very strict in attendance and dress code as one has to maintain both at all costs.
- Strictness is so rigid that personal creativity and expression too sometimes take the back seat.
Course Curriculum Overview
Exams happens as per Calcutta University guidelines and the exams are always in time but results are always late as it takes long for results to come. Our course though has everything that probably a BCA student goes through and our program is rather advanced than a BCA from a private university. Just four classes daily and that leads to chaos in the end and therefore it should be 6 lectures daily and then this chaos will be gone forever.
Internships Opportunities
Projects related to software development and tech building are the ones which are offered to us. Also, companies like Infosys, Tech Mahindra and others which are into technology and outsourcing work, needs interns regularly and this is where SXC students benefits as we are hired first before anyone else in Kolkata.
Placement Experience
Computers are so vast that masters is mandatory and therefore I have certain plans for that. However big scale IT companies come here and students of Computer science Hons have had placements worth 6-10 lakhs easily. My plans are to appear for the job interviews but not taking any as I want to study more.
Fees and Financial Aid
Fees at SXC Kolkata for Computer Science is the highest. The fees is 1,60,000 a year and since it's a four years course the total fees is around 6.5 lakhs. So with a course fees of 6.5 lakhs we get one of the best arcularing college and the one that provide good placements too. Scholarships are linked with merit and caste students as the ones like me who are in general category and doesn't have top merit don't get any scholarship.
Campus Life
A cafeterias as good as a foodcourt is there. Even a bakery is there as Bengali are fond of sweets and I am glad that it has been taken care of. In a world where everyone takes pride in fitness, we have a wellness centre and our sports ground which may not be the biggest field of play but is lush green. We don't have many events as societies are dependent on the sponsorships on their own but our annual fest XAVOTSAV is fully funded by our college.
Admission
I thought of pursuing engineering and therefore have WBUJEE and JEE both. However, Kolkata engineering colleges apart from Jadavpur University is not worth it and since I got rejection from there, I made SXC to be the place. With just making it to cut-off as it was 93% in boards and I had exactly that. I was given one day to think for it but I didn't took a minute before finalizing admission here.
Faculty
Exams can never be easy if the college is affiliated with Calcutta University. Faculties though are crazy as first the tough course and then they make it more for us by giving us assignments to write. They I don't know whether they check it all or not but are strict with deadlines. Professor Ahuti Mahajan who hails from DU is my favourite as she brings something new in the classroom.
Night Life
Our college helps in killing desserts cravings but I am a foodie and ever since Shiv Sagar has opened there and I go almost every week and try Mumbai Pav Bhaji. Then for asthetic and traditional Bengali food we have Dil Khusha Cabin and Carpe Diem. For evening banters and fun, we friends head out to Victoria Memorial.
