I had applied in colleges accross different cities like, Madras Christian College (Chennai), Sacred heart college (kochi), Wilson college (Mumbai), etc. I chose St. Xavier's College as that was my first preference and i always wanted to explore Mumbai and also Xavier's had such a good name which made it more easier to choose it from the rest. The infrastructure, the fame, name and faculty were few of the reasons that I chose Xavier's. There was an entrance exam for my course which is BAMCJ
The course curriculum is formed in such a manner that it gets updated very often to include all the new things in media. As it is more to the practical side it really helps us to be prepared for the real world. The curriculum includes various aspects of mass communication and journalism like radio, audio visual production, film appreciation, sociology,etc.
The college did have a internship placement cell which shared opportunities accross various fields for students. Some of them had stipends as well. Jp Morgan, Accenture are few of the companies which offered work.
Yes, Xavier's does offer placements to students of all courses but the students of BMS, BA economics and BScIT courses get placed the most. The placement process starts from the third year, 5th semester. The highest package offered is around 24LPA and the least would be 4-5LPA. Around 30% of students get placed out of the people who option for placements.
The fees for BAMCJ the first year was around 37,000 in 2022, then in the second year the fees was 35,571 and in the last year the fees was 52000. This year the fees of all the courses had increased this year(2024) and now the first year fees for BAMCJ is 72000, for the second year it is around 50k-60k and for third year it is 52000. Their was an entrance exam for BAMCJ, BMS and BSCIT courses which was conducted across various cities. The registration fees for application process was around 500.
The overall experience for me was not that great. Colleges in Mumbai do not have much of a campus life (except IIT Bombay ofc) and all the fests were also extremely commercial. The most famous fests would be Malhar, Zeitgeist, MVM, Zephyrus, etc. As for the library it is pretty good in terms of its availability of academic books and journals. The technical facilities available are also pretty decent. In terms of sports Xavier's had basketball, volleyball football and badminton competitions and for extra curricular activities Xavier's had a department known as ECC which involves a mandatory amount of points which students have to collect every year. There are different groups and clubs like social service league, AICUF, student council, etc.. but again I believe that these are not that greatly organised and are biased.
Placement Offers were Good on Records till now Collage has its own Placement Department. The Placement Department is operated by professionals. It aims at providing placement to students in reputed companies with handsome packages around 80% placement was done in our batch. All the students got chance to prove themselves in campus placements. Companies like Amazon, TCS, IBM, Make my trip, Amazon, flipkart, Infosys, HDFC, ICICI etc. visit the campus offers an average package ranges 3 - 4.5 LPA going on to Highest was 28 - 45 LPA Companies conduct interview sessions, GD, test for selection of students.
Placement was Good as there is a placement cell in the college that looks on managing placement for students by inviting Companies from different sectors Companies like Amazon Deloitte, Accenture, Reliance, HCL, Hyundai, HDFC bank, YES Bank, Axis bank etc. These companies make a number of offers to students offers an average package ranges 3 LPA and highest was 28 - 32 LPA. Companies conduct interview sessions, practical test, GD for selection of students and students needs to qualify all rounds to get selected also Internship opportunities was provided by college to give students practical experience and to give knowledge. Internship was also provided by college to give students practical experience and knowledge about current changing environment.
i chose computer engineering because i was interested in the technical field and wanted to build my career in engineering. the faculty were qualified and helpful, and their teaching was a mix of thoery ,ppts and practical. term exams were conducted on time and the difficulty was moderate
Placement opportunities are not so widely discussed by our faculty. My plan after the program is to appear for ugc net exam and to become an assistant professor. The minimum salary for assistance professor post is approx 35000.
The placements & job opportunities in the campus placements is good in our college like honestly it is good and also it is reason for students to take admission because there are many company coming to college. The average package is around i will say is 4.5lpa of all branches and here ENTC and MECHANICAL branch have more than 96% placement rate The highest package is of 22lpa which was from CS. The ground reality the percentage of students placed from this college is around 70% like the core branches students have higher placement rates and technincal branches placement rate is of around 70%-80% the core branches students also gets placed in tech. The main recruiters are TCS,ESDS,WIPRO,TECH MAHINDRA,INFOSYS,L&T and more. NVIDIA was also there but last year they banned the college because some students cheated in online interview.
I haven't reached my placement stage yet but from what I have seen the college doesn't wait until the final year to start preparing students. We have coding sessions, skills building workshops and career guidance from the beginning. Seniors also share their experiences which gives us a better idea of what to expect. I feel the college is helping us build the right foundation for internships and placements. At the same time, I think getting a good job also depends on how much effort we put into improving our own skills. So far I feel I am on the right track
no placement data is present now but many of students are working on their own projects and few are cracked the internships and now currently serving their period on the companies and it's really great opportunities.
The number of companies coming for campus placements go down with each passing year. The companies that do come (TresVista mostly) are quite poor in terms of work ethic and payout methods. This year, around 40-45 students from the graduating batch got campus placement out of the 110-120 that applied.
Psychology as a field is highly recognized and growing sector after the lockdown,people are more focused on mental health,thus bhavans was the best option as they have Psychology department set for almost 20years which makes them more experienced. The teaching method of Dr.kranti Gawali the hod is excellent.
Student must pass all the Sem for the placement or college is new thats why there was no records about placement, My after the degree to be a indie game developer and build an aweosom game with the help of C++
