Bachelor of Computer Applications (BCA) - Batch of 2026

3Placements4Infrastructure4Faculty3Crowd & Campus Life3Value for Money
Bachelors in Computer Applications in Rosarys.
Placements: Total number of students in our course for the 2024-25 batch is 90, which is the second year. Around 30% of students secured internships in companies such as Cipla, resorts like Taj, etc. Our course is 4 years with guaranteed placements, honors, and degrees.
Infrastructure: Facilities and infrastructure are fabulous. Wi-Fi is always responsive and labs have the best computers with inverters and air-conditioners. This makes students very comfortable to study and understand the topic taught by teachers. Infrastructure is also best according to other colleges.
Faculty: Faculty members are very helpful as they clear our doubts and motivate students at our tough times. All teachers are qualified and have years of experience at their job making them much more professional and knowledgeable.
Other: I always wanted to learn computer applications so that I could do something creative or develop some software or an app on my own and do something for myself.

Good overall, can improve.
Placements: In my course, placements aren't available; however, you can definitely apply to various institutions here, such as the National Institute of Oceanography and NCOAR. These institutions take in students from the Marine Sciences discipline, and many go there for Ph.D.
Infrastructure: Good infrastructure and basic facilities are provided here, which can be improved. At the same time, the hostel fees are pretty reasonable, and the mess food is also good. The hostel also invests time in holding events such as sports and cultural events.
Faculty: The professors are well respected within their field of study, with some working on various projects with prestigious organizations. Their ability to guide students is excellent, allowing for a great learning experience. The examinations have a decent marking system here.
Other: Marine Sciences is a discipline that allows us to study oceans in a wider scope. The only thing I would like for them to improve is to increase access to institutions through projects and internships that work in these specific fields. Overall, campus life is great, with various fests and events taking place throughout the year.

I am disappoint with most of the facilities but they have an okay atmosphere .
Placements: 20 percent of the students were placed in my course, and the highest was 1.2 LPA rupees. there were no well known recruits out there, and I wasn't offered a placement, so I don't know much about the placements part, but studying at St. Xavier's gives you a better reputation .
Infrastructure: The facilities weren't the best, as there were very dirty toilets, most of the classroom projectors never worked, and it was a messy environment. Overall, there is a lot of scope for improvement, and I know they can improve on this, and there are a lot of classrooms and books in the library.
Faculty: Not all the teachers were helpful, as they would only teach the students that were scoring well and being attentive, and they used to not give attention to the weak students like me. The first semester was too hard, and the pass percentage was precisely 97 percent.
Other: I chose this course as I wanted to learn more about accounting, but I kept failing, so I dropped out in between, and now I'm doing a different course, and I wish they would give us more events, a shorter period, and a longer interval, as no one could eat anything as the canteen was full of rushes and had fewer items of food.

Bachelor of Architecture (B.Arch.) - Batch of 2029

Review for Goa College of Architecture.
Placements: The architecture is a construction field where we are trained more for designing. The batch was amazing but don't expect class unity; nobody is trustworthy. They hire those who are skilled based on how fast they are in software and construction. It is a government college, and they aren't offering campus placements.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure is very minimal. The college doesn't have a proper campus, whereas there are two running colleges under the same campus. The college doesn't provide Wi-Fi for the students, and other facilities, including the canteen, have minimal space, which cannot fit many students and with limited items. The college doesn't provide hostel service, but the good things are the library and the classrooms.
Faculty: The faculty at the college is exceptional, comprising experienced professors with expertise. Most of them hold master's degrees. They ensure that the students receive high-quality education. The faculty-to-student ratio is approximately 1:15, allowing personalized attention. There are viva exams almost every 2 weeks, so the faculty helps well with the work.
Other: This is the only architecture college in Goa. It is situated in the capital city, Panjim, which is easily accessible by public transport. The college also provides bus service free of cost. There are also many events at the college, including a fest called Vistara.
