Admission to the Bachelor of Commerce (B.Com) program at St. Xavier’s College (SXC), Kolkata is merit-based, focusing on Class 12 board marks. Applicants typically need a minimum of 90% for consideration, though cutoffs can start from 95% and go as low as 89% across various lists, depending on the stream and board (CBSE, CISCE). The first list generally features higher cutoff percentages, around 93%-95%, while CBSE cutoffs have been slightly stricter than CISCE.

Maths and English are mandatory among the best four subjects considered. There are no entrance exams for B.Com; the admission relies entirely on 12th-grade scores. The admission process is predominantly online, requiring applicants to submit forms through the college's website where all necessary details, including timelines and application fees, are provided. Cutoff lists are published sequentially until seats are filled, and document verification is mandatory upon selection. Reservations might influence cutoffs slightly lower for specific categories, but these details need to be verified through the official website.

The admission process is efficient, if somewhat traditional in communication, and is completed before the semester begins in mid-July. There is no direct or management quota mentioned for the B.Com program, and the college emphasizes strict discipline with a 75% attendance requirement.

SXC Kolkata is a gem of a college.

Student Snaps:

Admission:

I thought of pursuing engineering and therefore have WBUJEE and JEE both. However, Kolkata engineering colleges apart from Jadavpur University is not worth it and since I got rejection from there, I made SXC to be the place. With just making it to cut-off as it was 93% in boards and I had exactly that. I was given one day to think for it but I didn't took a minute before finalizing admission here.

SXC is invaluable to me!

Admission i tried at almost all the colleges of Kolkata. Goenka was also in my mind as there the classes are in the morning and even St Xavier's Private University as well. However, my parents told me to study in a college affiliated to Calcutta University as that brings more value to the degree. My marks too were in the cut-off par list as for evening batch it was 87% and I had 90.

SXC is an old pedigree!

There are no entrances like the Delhi University which I gave as well. Here admission are based on 12th percentage and the subjects that we have had. So, for general category in 2025 admission 92.7% from any board was the cut-off. For OBC it was 81 and for SC/ST students it was 73%.

KESHAV MAHESWARI

SXC Kolkata is a niche college!!

My everything was for SXC as I knew the cut-off will be in range of early 90s. This year the cut-off for morning college was 92%. If one has to pursue B.Com (Hons), he should have had English and Maths as his/her electives as otherwise admission are not allowed for B.Com (Hons).

SXC means love with hardship!

I applied at SXC bit I wanted morning college. Unfortunately cut-off for was morning was 94 and i had 90. So, luckily the college works in 2 shifts and hence I got admission in th evening one. So eligibility for general category for evening college is minimum of 87%.

SXC is super special!

With 95 plus percentage my first choice was always SXC. College also provides admission based on 12th marks. Goenka and other colleges were also the option but SXC was my first option and then it was SXC University.

St. Xavier's College Kolkata Review

I chose this college over other colleges due to its high reputation, especially regarding the B.Com course. The college also has a very prestigious range of alumni and good placement opportunities. It consistently ranks among the top colleges in our country, most recently gaining the 6th position on the NIRF scale. The college also has a well-reputed faculty and a record of good teaching. The college admission process was fairly simple. It was an online process - and included filling up a detailed admission form along with online submission of necessary documents. After that came the payment of the application fee. The selection lists containing the names of selected students came out a few weeks later, with a link for the payment of the admission fee for the first semester. Following that was the physical verification of documents, on completion of which the admission process was formally complete.

Through my Eyes

Admission process went pretty smoothly. I did not apply for any other colleges per say although i did prepare for many other competitive examinations. I scored a decent rank in comedk which could have fetched me a good college in Bangalore but i chose St. Xavier's college to stay in my own city.

B.Sc, Mass Communication And Videography

My experience at St. Xavier's

Mass Communication is one of the only subjects that St. Xavier's offers entrance exams for. The rest are all based on the marks obtained by the student in their 12th grade board examinations. I was rejected by Jadavpur University from the english department because I could not qualify and comparative literature because I did not have 2 different languages in my 12th grade. Presidency College english Department also I failed to qualify in.
