I chose this college because of the exposure I get in this college is way too much and next level . I don't think any other college can give this much exposure . I have cute ipmat jipmat these entrance exams and I also got shortlisted for iim ranchi but I didn't go because XAVIER'S IS A BRAND and it holds a prestige because of its discipline . For bcom Xavier's considers the marks of class 12th boards , the cutoffs of which are very high . First list cutoff goes 93%ish and last list goes 88ish . The cutoffs are less for reserved categories.

As a resident of Kolkata i applied to literally every well-known college in existence in Kolkata. Starting from Presidency to jadavpur to Lady Prabourne to Gokhale to Loreto to St Xavier's and all the others which i coulnd't get to name. The colleges i got into were Jadavpur, Shri Shiksayatan, LBC, Asutosh, Scottish Church, St. Paul's Cathedral and finally Xavier's(my dream institute). The difference was in all of the rest colleges i got into BSc economics whereas SXC was the only college to offer me a seat in BSc Statistics Honors. The cut off was 96% for my year for ISC students(year 2022) and i scored 95% hence lost hope but my name came in the extended 2nd list of candidates being summoned for admission. Admission process was pretty simple just had to visit the college and pay the initial joining amount in the office and started attending classes from the next day after having met the HOD(Ma'am Durba Bhattacharya) that day. Admission is solely on the basis of marks obtained.

St. Xavier's has always been a part of my life as i had studied in St. Xavier's School from class 1 till class 12 and thus i wanted to also complete my bachelor's from St. Xavier's itself. So basically it was my love for the name of Xavier's.
