Good faculty, especially for Sociology in the BA department. Xavier’s is however better known for Bcom and Economics. It’s a pretty strict place, with a particular dress code. Personally though, I found it quite alright. Attendance is extremely strict and punctuality is essential.
Placements aren’t bad, and here is a decent enough stress on extracurricular activities. You need a required number of extracurricular credits (as well as a social service credit) in order to graduate.
The location is excellent; it’s in the heart of the city, with plenty of student friendly options for food and drink.
Apply if you are okay with a hectic semester system and some amount of rules and regulations.
