B.Com. in Accounting and Finance - Batch of 2025

Offered by St. Xavier's College Kolkata

4.2

5Placements4Infrastructure4Faculty4Crowd & Campus Life4Value for Money

Review of St. Xavier's College Kolkata.

Placements: Placements at SXC are pretty good with a salary package of 4 LPA - 24 LPA. Companies like EY, KPMG, PWC, DE Shaw, Axella, Futures First, Axis Bank, HDFC Bank, Ei, Deloitte, Asian Paints, etc., visit the college. The list of companies is pretty long. Roles offered are audit, tax, and finance.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure is pretty old because it is a heritage institution. It has all the modern facilities inside. The library is very good and worth it. The hostel is pretty old. It does not have air conditioners and washing machines. The food is not very good.

Faculty: Our faculty members are good, but some of them are very old-fashioned. All of them are highly qualified and knowledgeable. The curriculum is according to the latest NEP and makes students ready to adapt to any situation. Semesters are a bit difficult. If students study, they can score good marks easily.

Other: The course is very good for students taking up CA as it matches the CA course. The best thing about the B.Com course is that we have the morning classes from 10:00 Am, so students get the entire day to study. The course is overall good but more industrial visits could improve it. Xavotsav is the main event of SXC and also one of the best fests in Kolkata.

B.Tech. in Chemical Engineering - Batch of 2018

3.8

4Placements4Infrastructure3Faculty3Crowd & Campus Life5Value for Money

Not happy with the placements and faculty, otherwise, it was a beautiful stay in my college.

Placements: Out of 40 students, 24 students were placed. The companies that came are ITC, Haldia Petrochemical, Berger Paints, and Woods. The average package is 3.6 LPA. Usually, the jobs were in process engineering or as onsite engineers. Most students got internships in IOCL, IFFCO, Berger Paints, and HPCL.

Infrastructure: Wi-Fi is not available on the campus. Labs are fully equipped with equipment, and classrooms have AC and projectors. The library has every book and journal that is available. Hostels are available, and canteen food is also okay and cheap. Medical facilities are available and free of cost for students.

Faculty: Teachers are mostly overqualified and usually arrogant. The teaching quality is okay but mostly based on notes. The curriculum is a bit outdated and not on par with current industry knowledge. Semester exams are usually easy, and the pass percentage is approximately 75%. The students are usually industry-ready as they are geniuses and not due to faculty.

Other: I chose this course and college as it was near my home and also I wanted to study chemical engineering. The curriculum and placement should be better. There is no social life, and no fests or events are held currently.

Offered by Heritage Law College

3Placements3Infrastructure2Faculty2Crowd & Campus Life3Value for Money

The college is quite good, but there is always a scope for improvement, which can benefit all of us.

Placements: Heritage Law College does not offer direct placements, but they help us to connect with various law firms through internships and visits. It is actually quite helpful because through this we can actually get to know the fact that in every place the situation will be different and we should learn to handle that.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure of our college is quite good. We also get access to Wi-Fi and internet, tha classrooms are also mostly clean. The good thing is that we also get proper access to the library, which is very important for the law students. The hostels can be made much better same goes for the food, but we get much access to sport and games.

Faculty: The faculty of this college is not that appreciable. The teachers don't seem very much active in their teaching, it can be improvise, though we get 5-6 lectures in a week regarding our course. But the exams are quite good, the questions asked are quite relevant and practical based, which is a good thing.

Food quality in canteen is very good and up to the mark, and price is quite cheap.

Faculty: College is attached to national service Scheme to provide extracurricular activities for students. Teachers are amiable and highly qualified. It makes students industry-ready with modern technology and communication skills.

Other: I chose this degree because college is best for quality education in my city. Student-teacher communication is very helpful. It would be better if students are engaged in outdoor games.

Course curriculum is relevant and makes students industry-ready, it not only enhances student's knowledge but also builds their ability in every field. The difficulty level of semester exams is average, with every type of question whether long, short, easy, or hard being asked in exam. Pass percentage is approximately 90%-95%.

Other: I chose this college because I'm interested in accountancy and also there are many career opportunities after B.Com. There is nothing that needs improvement, as everything in the B.Com course is up to the mark. This college organizes every type of event, including career planning and medical planning inside the college, which help students connect with themselves and others frequently.

Good faculty but very bad placement procedure.

Placements: Our college lacks a proper placement cell and procedure. Sometimes, a few job fairs are organized by our college, but only a few of our students are able to get any placement offer from there. The highest salary you can expect is 2 to 2.5 LPA. It is better to apply for off-campus jobs.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure of our college is not so great. The building is old and dusty. The classrooms are small and clumsy. Labs are there, but they lack a few important chemicals. We don't have a library on our campus. There is no hostel in our college, but we have a decent canteen behind our college.

Faculty: The curriculum of our course is really good as it follows the latest syllabus of Calcutta University. The faculty members are also good, but sometimes they are rude to the students. The semester exams in our college are not too hard, but you need to study thoroughly.
