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

B com is a course that is aligned with the course of chartered accountancy so I choose this and So the primary reason was that. The faculty at our college are pretty good. In a class of almost 70 students, there is a teacher. They are highly educated and qualified and the level of exams is also very tough to crack.

I choose Bcom hons as I want to pursue MBA in finance so I want to the finance field. The faculty member of the college for this course is good. We have six semesters which are quite difficult but with proper teaching, we manage to pass

Big companies often visit for placements such as Big 4, De Shaw, reputed banks etc. The placement ratio is very high compared to other bcom colleges. There is a brand value attached to this name which will fetch you an added advantage

Students become eligible for campus placements in the third year. Various big companies offering a good package comes to college every year and a good number of student get placements every year. Students even leave their professional courses to join those companies

Students become eligible for campus placement from SEM 5. There are a lot of companies coming into the college such as BIG 4's. Average packages are around 6-8 lacs. The highest package is around 20 lacs

Big four companies every year pick students from our college for internship and job purposes and many mid-size firms also appear for the same. Our placement cell is one of the best departments designed to provide various kinds of internship opportunities exclusively to our college students

Placement starts in the third year. Multiple companies visit and a decent no. Of offers are made. 24 lakh per annum was the highest offer made. Most of the students do not go for placement they are either pursuing a professional degree or others go for their master's like MBA.

From the second year, students can opt for placement as Interns. All the big companies and firms like Deloitte, EY, PWC, Amazon, etc. come for campus placement. The average package for graduates goes around Rs.600000 every year. In 2021, a student grabbed a package worth Rs.2400000 which has been the highest till now. Almost 95% of students get the placement.

I chose this course because I want to become a media executive and pursue a career in filmmaking. We had forty students in our class and there were five permanent faculties and 3 visiting/guest faculties. We also had frequent masterclasses conducted by professors from other universities for practical hands-on experience. The professors were duly qualified, three out of the five permanent faculties had completed their Ph.Ds. and another one was pursuing his Ph.D. All of them had a lot of experience in their specific field of work. The teaching method focused more on theory and less on practicals. If I were to suggest changes then it would be to increase the practical papers. We had CIAs (Continuous Internal Assessments) throughout our semester and then we had semester exams bi-annually. Exams were pretty difficult as we had to use our creative faculty and evaluation was subjective as well.

All students are capable to be selected on campus. The top recruiting companies are Wipro, Google, ITC, Facebook, etc. Approximately 90% of students got internships at IT companies, development or construction companies, and bank sectors.
