Excellent infrastructure and facilities but disappointed with the lack of placements.

Placements: The course as we all know is vast and way different than other popular fields. This is a course which needs proper guidance, which the faculty of this university provides. But if we talk about placements, you might get disappointed a little as we are not offered or rather we do not get enough information regarding placements from this particular course in Bachelors degree.

Infrastructure: Facilities and infrastructures will impress you. All the classrooms have centralised air conditioners, provides Wi-Fi, one can study in the reading room whenever they feel like and lend books from the library as well. The labs and studio are excellent. Hostel rooms are not bad and the food available in the mess and canteen are not very disappointing. You will be encouraged to participate in different kind of events including sports and games.

Faculty: The professors are helpful and knowledgeable as well. You won't hesitate to approach them when required. You will enjoy the course but the industry is such that it might take some time to make you industry ready, but with increasing number of contacts and sources you will get the required help and guidance. The semester exams are not very difficult and you will have to get atleast 40 out of 100 in each paper, failing which you have to appear for arrear tests which are slightly easy and leniently checked.

Honest Review of St. Xavier's University, Kolkata by a Mass Communication student.

Placements: I am pursuing a B.A. in Mass Communication, and my expected graduation year is 2027. 89% of the students in the course were placed, with the highest package offered being 30 LPA in the field of MBA. Top recruiting companies for our course include ABP, Zee, SVF, etc. Additionally, 70% of the students secured internships from companies such as ABP, Zee, SVF, etc. The top roles offered in my course are news reporter, anchor, mass communicator, etc.

Infrastructure: The facilities provided in my college are great. The rooms are Wi-Fi equipped with CCTV monitoring. There is a huge library on the campus with lots of books; it's also been referred to as the knowledge palace. The quality of facilities in my hostel is great as it's a relatively new building equipped with multiple modern facilities. The quality of food in the canteen is great, and there is both non-veg and veg food available. The campus has a special medical centre for injuries, and the nurses and frontline workers there will assist you with your injury and discomfort very well. The college consists of a huge sports team as well.

Faculty: The faculty is great and the curriculum is also very relevant according to today's time. I would say that the teaching quality is average or slightly above average as the professors don't connect deeply with the students and they should be much more free when teaching. Yes, the curriculum is very relevant as it deals with daily challenges and it makes students industry-ready due to the vast varieties of practical work taught by the professors. The semester exams difficulty is moderate and not too tough. There are 2 semesters in a year and each semester has 2 exams. Most of the students pass the exams, hence the pass percentage is high and greater than 95%.

Other: I chose this course because I had an interest in the field of Mass Communication and wanted to progress in this field. The best thing about this course is that students are not under pressure of tough concepts or bounded by syllabus and hence they can understand the topics at their own pace. Also, the subjects included in mass communication are very interesting to learn. The thing that could be improved about the course is by adding more modern things and relatively things, although the syllabus and curriculum are very well organized for the modern date but there still lies some things which should be updated. Every year a major fest (XAVRANG) is held during the months of February or March and it's a huge event, a lot of popular artists perform during this event and a lot of fun takes place. The Campus crowd is very talented and very helping. The campus surroundings are good as well as it's in a relatively good place with malls nearby and the modern Kolkata in sight. Scholarships are given provided that one scores 85% in end sem and so 25% of their total expenditure in college will be paid back. A lot of extracurricular activities are also there which will make any student overwhelmed.
