St. Xavier's University BA+LLB Review By Anurupa Mukherjee

St. Xavier's University, Kolkata can prove good option for the candidates who failed to crack CLAT and have to get admitted in a private university. Overall it is a good university to study. Among the other private universities, the faculty, the standard of teaching, the standard of the syllabus and the internship provided are superior.

One has to crack the Xavier Law Aptitude Test (XLAT) to get into this university. A minimum of 45% marks are required. My motive for enrolling in this program was to pursue Law. Though the university needs to update its syllabus as per the current requirements.

Majority of the faculty members are very helpful and very proficient with their work. They are very approachable. Conversely, only handful of them needs to bring changes in their teaching style. Others take classes regularly and resolve queries in case of any doubts.

We do have a placement cell in our university for this course but since only one batch has passed till date, it is not very developed.

We have hostel in our university. Rooms are available in double sharing with joint washrooms.

There are various sports facilities available for both outdoor and indoor games. The campus space is pretty decent. The law library of the university is great. It is well stocked with sufficient books, journals and newspapers. Facilities like canteen, gym, lift, moot court, etc. are also available in the university.

There are a lot of extracurricular and co-curricular activities available in university. The University also organized annual fest: ‘Xavrang’ every year for the refreshment of the students. Cultural programs like singing, dancing, recitation, drama, etc. are also conducted from time to time. Other events of the university include quizzes, debates like oxford style, parliamentary style, the internship cell, and fashion show. Overall the campus life of this university is good. Also the people are very friendly.
