St. Xavier's College Kolkata Reviews on Placement, Faculty, Hostel by Students

My experience at the institute was memorable to say the least. There are various societies which we can join and fests happen throughout the year. You have to wake up at 5 to reach college at 6 AM if you're a B.Com morning student but that inculcates the habit of waking up early. Attendance isn't given even if you're a minute late which will teach you to always be on time even if its early morning in the winter or raining heavily in the monsoons. That being said it’s the best college for commerce in eastern India and ranks 3rd overall in the country as per NIRF ratings. If you cannot go to DU, this is the place to be. Some of the brightest minds of our country such as LN Mittal, Shashi Tharoor, and Sourav Ganguly are alumni of our college.Read Full Review

The college campus is really big and an architectural beauty. The college was established in the colonial period. Every part of the campus is rich with history and culture. The college celebrates Bengali culture and language on a grand scale despite being an English medium college. There is no ragging in the campus. The seniors and staffs are friendly. No bullying is tolerated in the campus. The Sports Department of the college has produced players like Sourav Ganguli, hence does not need any introduction. The scope of co-curricular activities is maybe the best one can think of. There are societies for everyone with every kind of interests. Celebrities and notable persons keep on coming to the college and one can have greater scopes and connections in any industry from the college. Prominent entrepreneurs, actors, theatre artists, dancers, singers, players come to the college and do workshops (free sometimes). Whether you want a traditional profession or some artistic profession this is the best place to nurture your talent and learn and start your journey. The Academy award winner for best documentary in 2023 also is from this college.Read Full Review
