B.Com Hons St Xavier's College, Kolkata

It is in my opinion undoubtedly one of the best institutions in the State if one looks forward to study in the Commerce field. With an orderly and systematic course it makes our study very interesting and productive. Also there to help us with our course is the superb faculty that the college provides us with. 'Discipline' is one of the essentials in this college. College life is hectic but it is fun, strenuous but memorable and i find all that a student looks for, in my college. It really feels great and proud to be a part of this college.

I am an alumini of this college which is considered one of the best colleges of our country. It's teaching faculty was exceptionally well and was very much students oriented. The campus was beautiful with a lot of greenery representing the heart of Kolkata. The placements were very good and a lot of top companies used to visit our campus and offered decent pay scales. Alltogether it is a wonderful college to graduate from and you need to work really hard for securing a seat there.

Basically, this college has a nice atmosphere of toppers and over achievers. You don't get to talk to any person who takes life easy. And you are looked down at if you are of the present generation 'chilled dude' category. It is the ambiance that gives you a zeal to be someone, to be one of your kind.Coming to the infrastructure, Xavier's lacks it. The building is an outdated British structure. The college campus is pretty small and is shared with St. Xavier's Collegiate School. All in all, there is no campus charm of cool cafes or large playgrounds.With respect to the faculty, Xavier's has a few best and maximum average teachers. Most teachers, at least in my Department, resort to spoon-feeding to better the performance of their students which generally, lowers the motivation of the students to study for their exams. But the brilliant students do not generally give in to such easy methods for easy marks.Xavier's offers extravagant opportunities when it comes to extra curriculars. There are societies and cells for all - be it Debating, Dance, Commerce, Management or Entrepreneurship.This college is better known as a school.I can assure you of the fact that this college will try to discipline you in ways in which even your Alma mater wouldn't have tried to. In the B.Com. department(s), the students are made to sit Roll No. wise in the classrooms. Their attendance is taken on the basis of visible heads on the respective seats. Marks allotment for class attendance is another strict disciplinary measure because the top notch students here compete for the 5% marks too.Overall, this college in the heart of Kolkata i.e. Park Street, shall be a new journey. One may enjoy it and may also groan about the lack of college life here. But the tag of the college, of being a Xaverian,satisfies every complain.

The infrastructure of the college is very developed. The campus surroundings are quiet and healthy which is helpful for studies. There are some departments under development to accommodate a large number of students. The classrooms are well constructed, air conditioned and have space for about 150 students. It has a well-organized library with easy book search and reading facility. The college has an excellent hostel and sports facility. Placements are sure for students. Faculty members are just superb.

The audacity here is not to learn but to undergo, not to suppress but to express, more to reason and more to celebrate. Here, the personality speaks not the student and the soul communicates not the person. St. Xavier’s College weaves a thread of qualities and punctuates one towards perfection. The rudiments of success get inherited. A senior student of St. Xavier’s rightly says it to me, “You’re the words you speak, the wisdom you gain, the knowledge you impart, you’re the lives you touch, the people you influence, you’re the world you’ve made better, you’re a Xaverian.” The day I entered the vibrant campus of this college as its student, I felt a bit uncanny. Exalting minds encircled me in the class. A casket full of intelligence and knowledge seemed to have seated here. I realized that making a mark amidst such students stands out to be a laborious task. New friends were made and thoughts were shared. The worm of curiosity and enthusiasm led to exploration of the college with friends from college to the canteen, and finally the ‘Green Benches’- a place where a lot happens!!
