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.
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 college does have a placement cell. It provides some in campus placements . Rarely 2% students get in campus placements. Rest have to find jobs pn their own. You wi have to do alot of interships and gain practical skills to be placed
Diffrent companies have different criteria, limited companies comes in campus such as bootcoding Pvt.Ltd , and some small companies arrived. Highest package giving by companies is 4 LPA lowest package is 3LPA and average package is 2.5LPA. about 20% of students got placed. Searching a job after my course computation.
The faculty members are supporting but inexperienced the experienced professionals have left the college long time ago. This is one of the old colleges in Pune. The semesters are generally proactive extracurricular activities are less and are given not much priority .
There are the placements are done in the final year of college, You are eligible for the appear in the placements drive you have to score good scores in the semester exams. There are the lowest 3LPA and highest 6LPA packages are offered by the companies like TCS, Infosys, Wipro, BOAT, SBI , Ultra Tech, Mahindra, Capgemini etc. Students have to maintain their SGPA up to 8.0 CGPA.
engineering course curriculum is very old specially for university batch students my batch get admission in 2022 at that our college is not get autonomous status. passing semester exams is little hard in university compare to autonomous batch. faculties teachings methods are very old. And not practical learning provided.
