Dhruv Gupta's Review on St. Xaviers College Kolkata

it is doing pretty well and the placement has not yet been achieved but they have pretty much strong tie-ups with MNC's and top Institutes.

2 hostels are being brought up with the occupancy of 900. The fees haven't yet been disclosed by the University. There are many PGs nearby the college with costs varying between INR 6000-INR 15000 per month.

Entrance exam of my College/University was not based on marks you get but you should achieve the eligibility criteria. Mathematics is not compulsory to get into this University which is an advantage for students who didn't have maths in their +2. For my course BMS I had to take my entrance test based on class 10 Mathematics and Logical Reasoning and also English.

The class starts at 10:00 AM in the morning and ends mostly at 3:40 Pm. The class hours is of 55 mins with a 5 mins break in between classes and a 45 mins recess break. In my course, there are lots of presentations and assignments given to us in groups. The quality and method of teaching are average when the new teachers are teaching but the faculty of the SXC is the best. My overall experience is average because the infrastructure and faculty are still being build up.

My course fee is about INR 90000 p.a. Scholarship options are available to students whose family income is less than INR 25000. The average number of students who get the scholarship is based on the verification of the income of the family. Loans can be taken from the bank with proper financial backing as a security.

Since this is a new University so currently not many societies have come up but there is cultural society, debate society, photography, sports society. Life in college is pretty monotonous as we don't have many facilities available right now since everything is being built up.
