At a Glance

St. Xavier’s College, Ahmedabad, established in 1955, offers programmes in Arts-Humanities, Sciences, Computer Sciences and Commerce. Being one of the first colleges in the state of Gujarat to have been accredited by NAAC in the year 2001 with five stars, it has thereafter been an impetus to maintain a continuum of quality education and grow with every accreditation and the Autonomy status. The academic autonomy has allowed the institution to foray into higher realms of education.

Jesuit identity

Jesuit education is rooted in the 500 + years old Ignatian pedagogy.  It is a heritage of educating and caring for the whole person, preparing students to become persons for and with others, with well-developed minds, generous hearts and reflective souls that find God in all things. It focuses on the concept of ‘more’ with the pursuit of excellence in everything that they do. The Jesuit legacy of academic excellence requires students to go deeper, think critically and solve problems creatively in the service of humanity.
