St. Xavier's University has announced that it will begin the classes for undergraduate students from August 9 online.  The university had conducted online tests for admission to various courses that is commerce, management, economics, English and mass communication from July 10 to July 12. It must be noted that St Xavier’s is a private university.

While speaking on online classes, Vice-chancellor Father Felix Raj said, “Students encountering connectivity problems or are unable to afford datapacks can come to the campus and use the university’s connectivity facilities to attend classes.”

The result of the admission test will be announced tomorrow; i.e. July 16. Admissions will begin thereafter and will continue until July 31, he added. 

“Admission will be given on the basis of the tests. However, the student must pass a plus-II examination conducted by a recognised board/council in India and obtain a minimum of 55 per cent marks in the aggregate and also minimum 45 per cent marks in each of the four subjects as mentioned in the eligibility criteria. If it is found that a candidate has been selected on the basis of an admission test but has failed to fulfil the minimum marks criteria then the admission will be cancelled,” he told The Telegraph.

An official of the university said an early start of the classes will help university to cover the syllabus and conduct the semester exams on time later.

“This year we are being able to start classes early as the university is enrolling students through online tests, marking a departure from the practice of selecting students based on their marks in the Class XII board exams,” he said.
