The National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC) gave St. Xavier’s a ‘A+’ grade in 2006.

Francis Xavier, a Spanish Jesuit saint from the 16th century, is the inspiration behind the college’s name.

German Jesuits founded Xavier’s in 1869, and between 1884 and 1914, it expanded quickly. The First World War (1914–1918) saw the arrest of German Jesuit priests, which disrupted the administration.  In the 1930s, the college underwent significant growth.
