B.Com Hons Evening

St Xavier's College, Kolkata

As a student of St.Xavier's College,Kolkata it fills me with immense pride to be part of such a reputed institution. The college provides a great deal of exposure in terms of competition, placements,industry visits etc. But first and foremost a student has to be aware and active from the very beginning. The faculty is much hyped.Baring few teachers B.Com evening faculty is average.But the teachers are very supportive. The staff and administration are not very flexible and understanding. The college is very strict regarding discipline and it holds a tight hold over the student much to be applauded.A student who passes out from this college definitely comes out with a shining and confident personality.

Getting into St.Xavier's college,Kolkata is like getting into school after you have completed your school where discipline is a must with minimum 75% attendance and classes are regular and interactive unlike other colleges in India. The Administration provides their students with every facility for their overall development which includes Organising Seminars both by the students and celebrities ( for e.g; Arun Jaitley delivered his speech at College's auditorium and was an interactive session which was held this January ).Also providing fields for entertainment like hosting many Bollywood Actors and Yearly fest Xavotsav which is a awaited by students all over Kolkata. These events are mainly organised by the students of the college and their are different societies (formed by the students themselves for every department) which manage such events . Overall the college is free from any bureaucracy and red tapism and holds an Autonomous Status which adds much to the credibility of this great college. There are many more things which make this college GREAT.

It is indeed tough to travel 15 km and reach college at 6 am every day... This is what has made me punctual and helped me manage time... Attendance here is mandatory and a minimum of 80% is required in each subject to sit for semester examinations! The faculty has always been helpful and knowledgeable. They have always been readily entertaining doubts. The college has the worst rule of not allowing any grace time for the 1st period which means irrespective of how far you come from if you are late you will not be allowed to attend the 1st period. This college has given me some very good friends for which I am very thankful to the institution . It has helped me develop my public speaking skills by conducting Saturday seminars whereby you get exposure to speak in front of a crowd of 100 odd students and you are marked on your presentation... Overall it been a cherishing experience and I am expecting it to be the same for years to come

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 ambience that gives you the 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.Though recently they are opening a new campus at Rajarhat, Kolkata. With respect to the faculty, Xavier's has a one of the best faculties, that one can have at an undergrad level. Most teachers, at least in my Department, had a clear knowledge in their field and gave an in-depth knowledge of the subject under consideration, which greatly the motivated the students to study dedicatedly for their exams. Xavier's offers extravagant opportunities when it comes to extracurriculars. There are societies and cells for all - be it Debating, Dance, Commerce, Management or Entrepreneurship. This college is better known as a school. Being a pass out B.Com. student at Xavier's, Kolkata, 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 complaint.

One year of hard work and struggle has given me entry in this prestigious college. It satisfies your Ego when your name comes in the first list. Being a Xaverian was a dream and now the small dream has been fulfilled. The first day when I entered the college I could feel a Xaverian walking into me. But eventually, I started hating everything because I was so disappointed with the new faculty, new classmates, New rules and regulations, new college and new city. But now when I have completed my two months here, I feel so contempt. I have learnt so many new things in this two months. This college has been a platform for me. I am the kind of person, who fears to speak out but here in the college there are numerous events taking place, participating even in any one of them gives you so much of Confidence. I am not fully satisfied with the faculty but I am trying to cope up. This college is a very prestigious college and possesses a very heavy name. And like they say, since I have boarded the flight, I should sit back, fasten my seat belt and enjoy the journey. I am looking forward to grabbing every opportunity provided by the college and overcome my weaknesses and strengthen my strengths. And with my head held high, I say I am a proud Xaverian.
