XAVIERITE FOREVER!

There were many colleges to which I had applied. I had applied to Amity University for Bachelors in Computer Applications, Pandit Din Dayal Energy University for BBA, Ashoka University for BBA, GLS Ahmedabad for BBA, OP Jindal University for BBA, but I did not attend any of these colleges as I found St. Xavier's to be more reputed than these colleges and for what I wanted to become in my life, St Xavier's was the best option available. The faculty of St Xavier's college is extremely experienced and the curriculum was the best. St Xavier's Ahmedabad provides merit-based admission to the students and the admission process is extremely easy. We just have to fill the admission form and wait for the merit list to come out. Cut off for every year is different and the merit list will be different for different boards.

I chose a bachelor's in computer applications (BCA) because I wanted to do something in the tech field. I'm driven towards software development hence I chose BCA. I have a lot of friends who are my seniors in St Xavier's and I had heard a lot about college life and about campus infrastructure from them. The faculty to student ratio is quite good in my college. Teachers pay a good amount of attention to each and every student in the class and because of this learning becomes extremely easy. The faculty in my college is extremely experienced and they give us plenty of practical knowledge through lab classes hence it becomes easy to understand everything. We have examinations every semester and mid-semester exams in the middle of every semester. We have our viva exams and assignments on which we are marked. The exams are not that tough and we can score easily if we pay attention in our class.

5th-semester students are eligible for campus placements. Large-cap companies such as Oracle, Microsoft, Infosys visit the campus with opportunities in the field of software development. Companies like P&G, HLL, CITIBANK visit our college for jobs in the field of system administration. Students can get a package of up to 3 lakhs Rs per annum. 70% of SXCA students get hired by these companies. My plan after completing my bachelor's degree is that I will go for a master's degree in the same field.

The fees for each semester are approximately Rs 16000. Due to covid, there was some percentage of reduction in the fees. Students have a higher chance of getting scholarships as the scholarship process is extremely friendly. Each and every student gets an equal opportunity to get an education at a less cost for the people who are not financially strong. Financial assistance is also provided by the college administration for the people who cannot afford the fees for education. Every year scholarships and prizes are given to students. The college has a separate fund for this.

A cultural fest is organized every year in St Xavier's college. Students get an opportunity to showcase and explore their talents and skills. This year due to covid, there was an online cult fest organized by our college and it was an amazing experience. A huge library is there in our college which the students can access whenever they want. The library contains a humongous variety of books that the students can use to expand their knowledge. Labs with computers and projectors are available in our college for getting practical knowledge and obtaining object-oriented knowledge. St Xavier’s college has a huge cricket ground, a football field, a volleyball court, a basketball court and experienced coaches for our training. Extracurricular activities such as NSS, NCC, and PGOP programs are also available.
