Entrance Preview
I undertook B. Com (Hons) at St. Xaviers College because I wanted to do a professional course in finance Chartered Accountant. And what better combination - B. Com from St. Xaviers College, Kolkata and CA from ICAI. I scored 70% in the 3 years honours course. The reason for choosing St. Xaviers College, Kolkata is that it was and still is the best college in Kolkata.
Internships Opportunities
For commerce graduate there was no internship and hence no stipend payment. However most of the student along with B. Com were also doing CA for which they got stipend of Rs. 300/- for the first year, 450/- for the second year and 600 for the third year of article ship duirng 1995-1998 with a practicing chartered accountant.
Placement Experience
Campus placement for commerce graduate was not available during 1998. However most of the student were also doing CA and campus placement was made available for successfully passed CA by the ICAI. The job opportunities during 1998 was good and companies form across the industries came to ICAI for recruitment.
College Events
The biggest college event and probably the biggest college event in Kolkata was XAVOTSAV. It was an annual event covering every aspect of college life - education, quizzing, debates, cultural, sports, music, talent hunt, etc. Every other recognisable college would yearn to participate in the event.
Fee Structure And Facilities
The fees in our college was very reasonable Rs. 120/- per month during 1998.
Exam Structure
Exams were held frequently and every exam being important was full of its share of nervousness. However the environment around in commerce section was mostly chilled out.
Faculty
The faculties of St. Xaviers are probably the best in the world. Hand picked individuals devoted to the course of studies and betterment of students. These were the teachers having excellence in their field of studies. Learning from them outside the college would have cost us a fortune.
