450 year old tradition of education...

An A-plus accreditation by the National Assessment and Accreditation Council is just one of the reasons why St Xavier’s is a popular name in academic circles.

Principal Fr Frazer Mascarenhas says the college boasts of a 450-year-old Jesuit tradition of education that concentrates on the overall personality development of the students. “Our focus isn’t on students becoming toppers, but we are interested in students loving the subject he or she is interested in,’’ he says. A committed faculty is the college’s USP, he adds.

The college boasts of a long list of co-curricular and extracurricular activities. It is well known for the inter-collegiate festival Malhar that puts on display the creative streak. Those with a social bent can turn to the Social Service League, while the Honours programme inculcates a habit of research.

The heritage campus, with its architectural beauty, also houses the Indian Music Group, which promotes and documents classical music and hosts the annual Janfest. TNN
