Hey Safiul,
Congratulations on scoring such amazing marks. I am sure you have 100% chances for applying in St. Xavier's College, Kolkata for B.A in English honors. About the merit listing part I am not sure though now as it depends on the cut-off and all. All I can say is you can calculate your index percentage from the link given below. The cut off stays pretty high every year.

Hey Sanchari!
Sorry to disappoint you, no one can really count the number of seats available. All depends on your merit.
On the other hand, 2nd or 3rd list will be available only if there is any vacancy, otherwise not!
I hope you get through the eligibility criteria and secure a place in Xavier's.
Wishing you good luck!

Hi Dhira,
There is a little chance for you to get into Xavier. Whatsoever, don't lose hope, you have 100% chance for applying other Xavier's. I'm not sure about the merit list.
If not the first list, you may get a chance in the second list(if any). The cut-offs are pretty high. It was around 92% last year.
Don't worry, you still have chances.
Wishing you good luck!

Hi Ritesh, Congratulations on completing class 12th with commerce stream. The cut-off changes every year. There is no fixed cut-off. Whatever it is, the cut-off for B.Com stays quite high than many other colleges. Give it a try. You may get the chance easily. All the best.

Hi Sayak,
BA in Journalism and B.Sc in Mass Communication and Videography are not similar at all. These are totally different.
SXCKOL doesn't have BA Journalism course solely. It's an ancillary subject offered with BA (Hons) courses and B.Sc MCV course. If you want to opt for a journalism-oriented course then go for the B.Sc one. If there is anything other than this in your mind then go for BA and have journalism as an ancillary for half duration. The honours won't be in Journalism though.
Yes, the course is available for commerce students. People say if you have science in XI-XII then you can go anywhere, but if you have commerce, you cannot do a course related to science field. But here, it is not applicable. You can opt for a B.Sc course.
Anyway, go through the given link:

All the best.
Feel free to ask if you have any further queries.
