How is the course curriculum of Bachelor of Arts [BA] (Sociology) in St Xavier's Mumbai?

The curriculum is very well balanced in terms of relevance to current world topics. In the case of sociology I don't think it prepares you for real world jobs as the Sociology curriculum is very theory based and it doesn't teach a lot of real world applications, but it does thoroughly prepare you for further academic pursues such as purse using your masters in a different country. They teach you to write complex thesis and dissertations which are necessary skills to know. The teaching methods could be improved and a lot of teachers could work on the feedback that they received from the Student feedback forms, as several of the teachers are not good at engaging the students during lectures and often make them fall asleep. The frequency and timing of exams is pretty balanced, the difficulty is also just right but the marking system could be a bit more lenient.

My course wasnt my first choice at all. I was kinda pushed into that direction. But sociology/ anthropology department is the best department. Amazing teaching staff and with relevance to curriculum; very systematic and very thorough. Amazing job with reference to connect the portion with today's times. Teachers go out of their way to make the subject more engrossing and understanding.

The teaching methodology is very application based. The faculty expected students to be prepared for sessions. Most sessions consisted of discussions and exchange of views rather than traditional teaching. The college organized several seminars and symposiums for ensuring industry - academia partnership and helping students interact with practicing professionals
