ST Xavier's Kolkata Reviews on Placements, Faculty and Facilities

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.

The placement cell is in charge of it. It varies every year depending on the openings, recession, job vacancies. And all the three sections, as in Film Studies, Design, and Animation have different number of companies coming for campussing.

From 3rd year, students become eligible for campus placements. Zomato, Aditya Birla Sun Life Insurance, Berkadia, etc, the number of offers are around 500-700 Highest package offered is 36LPA and average is 8LPA. 25-30% students are getting placements. My plan is to pursue MBA after the course.

St. Xavier's Kolkata provides you one of the best curriculum where you can be ready for the future and also it continuously upgrades itself to match the pace of the changing environment of studies. Moreover new courses have been launched regarding recent trends. BCOM HONS. is the flagship course of the college and one the best courses you can apply for. The teaching methods needs to be improved a bit though but the curriculum is very robust and good. The curriculum prepares a person for the corporate world in a very nice manner. exams are conducted twice a years and between semesters one mid sem exam is held. The difficulty of mid sem is a bit low than the semesters and you'll get marks on attendance and projects too

The curriculum is very vast and broad covering all the important aspects and topics. The commerce field covers everything under the sun, be it tax and audit, economics, management studies, data analytics and so on. It helped me gain a lot of knowledge and skills which will surely help me on the future. There is one improvement needed in the practical approach to the course curriculum. Theoretical knowledge is given more importance with a focus on exams and marks. Teaching methods are satisfactory with individual attention and clearing of doubts in sufficient time. Exams in general cover the scope of the entire syllabus and test on all important topics and knowledge. Difficulty level is good which is also needed to ensure that students are serious with their studies. Overall, the education system is very satisfactory and the course is intriguing to pursue.

I choose bengali for my hons subject Bcoz I born and brought up in a middle class bengali family And also I love this subject. It's too easier for me. I think that's why I choose this subject.

From 3rd semester the students become eligible for campus placements. Various top firm companies like Deloitte, PWC paid visit alongside local companies like Spring river a. The highest package in our department was offered by EXL. Average package offered by companies was around 4 lpa. Around 60-70% of students got placed. My plans is to pursue MTech by cracking the GATE Exam.

The English Hons course from 2023 onwards under NEP is a four years course. The course structure will have major papers in literature , a minor paper (socio ,his ,eco ,film studies ,etc.) along with two multi-disciplinary subjects where the students are given the option to pick from the courses offered by other departments like biology, physics, journalism, etc. For English the course is sufficient to keep you busy, its not that tough but if it was easy everybody would be doing it . The professors are amazing and supportive , and it will be a joyride along with them .

1. Students from last year are eligible for placement only. 2. Big 4, Banks and other big companies like DE SHAW, WIPRO come to college for placement. 3. 80% of students applied eventually get placed.

Placements aren't super lucrative mainly because you won't land a great job just by completing your undergrad. However, the placement cell is very responsive and tries their best to aid students who are interested in placements.
