CORPORATE PRODIGY

Today's youth are tomorrow's future. With this vision, the society expands its horizons beyond college. Corporate Prodigy, an event designed exclusively for the high school students, aims to give them the experience of undergraduate level corporate events even before entering the college. Prestigious schools across the country compete with each other to prove themselves as young ambassadors. They also get an opportunity to head-start their corporate careers.

 

INCEPTION

 

For the newly inducted first years, Inception is the most important management simulation. At Xavier's Commerce Society, we attempt to put students' critical thinking and composure to test. The simulations give them a taste of the business world and what they can expect if they continue on their current path. This event has established a reputation as one of the most competitive events at St. Xavier's College (Autonomous), Kolkata, and we will continue to do everything we can to retain the elite status of the event.

INDUCTIONS

Inductions is an exclusive recruitment program designed for the first- year students of St. Xavier's College as a doorway to join the Xavier's Commerce Society, and be a part of this distinguished legacy. Each individual is assessed through rounds structured to identify and form a group of individuals who reflect sheer will and determination, to steer the wheel of fortune of the society.

INNOVISION

 

Innovision is a series of seminars that acts as a guide for students from various streams to explore career opportunities and establish a better understanding of the corporate world. In a week-long session, eminent personalities from an array of fields conduct interactive careeroriented seminars to impart their knowledge of the industry with years of experience in hands. Successful names in the corporate world have been a part of our endeavour over the years like PwC, Tata Digital, Reliance Industries, Deloitte, KPMG, to name a few

 

CASE CONSTRUE

 

Case Construe, a case-study based event, is the precursor to Insignia, where students from all around the globe compete to prove their mettle in the various realms of the corporate world. It is an event conducted exclusively on an online platform testing students on various aspects of business with an opportunity to win remunerative cash prizes.

 

X-PEDITION

The society strongly believes in the practicality of the knowledge gained and has always emphasised on continual learning beyond the four walls of the classroom. Keeping the same in mind, it also organises visits to the factories of renowned companies, so that the students can understand the magnitude of work that goes on behind the scenes. Taking education beyond the campus, X-Pedition strives to provide the students with an insight into reality.

INAYAT

 

The Xavier's Commerce Society organises 'Inayat' - a transformative 3-day social drive that radiates kindness in multiple ways. From the initial food distribution, where over 250 meals were shared with those in need, to the tender moments spent at an old age home fostering intergenerational connections, and culminating in a joy-filled carnival for girls at an underprivileged school, every act became a ripple of positivity. 'Inayat' is not just an event, it showcases the powerful effect of everyone's kindness. We create a collage of joy and love, proving that even small acts can make a huge difference.

 

INTELLEGENTSIA

Intelligentsia is a panel discussion that brings together eminent minds and icons from the world of business and beyond to discuss a topic of great relevance in recent events. It promises to surpass expectations and create a phenomenal impact on the audiences with the motion being chosen so as to complement the theme of society's annual journal, Youthink, which is launched in this event.
