St. Xavier's College Kolkata Park Street Answered Questions

Hi Ayushi,
There is actually no such course. It's an ancillary in the college. But there is a BA in Journalism and Mass Communication course in St. Xavier's University, Kolkata. You can get the details on the website of SXUK.
Minimum marks required for applying for the BSc hons in Mass Communication and Videography in SXCKOL is 60%. So for that, you are not eligible.
All the best.

Hi Reyan,
Both the institutes are good in their own ways. But considering your choice, Journalism, I would suggest AAFT. They have BA in Journalism and Mass Communication, which is more journalism centric.
Whereas the course SXCKOL offers is mass communication-centric and journalism, as you know, is a part of mass communication.
I would suggest you visit the websites of the institues and look at the syllabus. Then you decide.
All the best.

Hi Swaraj,
In addition to the fees one can have anything and everything he/she wants to but there's nothing compulsory. If you want to buy a DSLR you can. It will help anyway but you also have the option to not to buy. Having a pc with certain software will be great as you may practice and work with them. But you don't wanna have them it totally depends on you.
In addition to the fees, you will need some amount of money as you have to contribute to making various films throughout the course period. How much will you pay as a contribution and how cheap can you make the films; totally depends on you.
If you ask me what was my extra expenditures, I would say it's not much. I got a DSLR that was my personal one which I used for the course works and I contributed near about 10,000 throughout 6 semesters to make films.
All the best.

Hi Shekhar, you can apply. One can apply from any recognised board. Go through the eligibility criteria of the particular subject you want to opt. If you are eligible you can apply for sure and rest depends on the merit list. You can take admission if you are selected. All the best.

You can do CA course along with your B.Com honours from Xavier's but you have to consider following points:
1. While taking admission in CA you have to write a letter to ICAI for the course i.e. B.Com you are doing from Xavier's.
2. In Xavier's College you can submit your registration letter which you will receive from ICAI in order to get some concession regarding attendance because for professional course there is some concession in the attendance.
