St. Xavier's College Kolkata Park Street Answered Questions

Hi Kirti,

According to that, a candidate applying for honours course must have obtained a minimum of 60% marks with 45% marks in at least four subjects including English and Maths/Business Maths/Statistics and must have passed in all subjects as per the respective board/council pass marks.
For applying to B.Com, Maths / Business Maths / Statistics is compulsory in HSC.
For applying to B.Com and BMS in the college (Park Street Campus), Maths/B.Maths/Stats is compulsory at +2 level for calculation of the aggregate.
However, for applying to B.Com and BMS at the University (New Town Campus), Maths/B.Maths/Stats is not compulsory in +2 level for calculation of the aggregate.
So, you are eligible for B.Com (Hons) in St. Xavier's University, Kolkata.
All the best.

Hi Avinash,
BBA at SXCKOL just got its new name, Bachelor of Management Studies, but everything else will remain the same.
Anyway, having Maths at +2 level is an important requirement for this course as you have it, you are eligible.
I would suggest that you go through this link:

It would show you the way of getting admission.
All the best.

Hi Subhamay,
Yes, it is available now.
I appreciate your interest and it has a similarity with mine.
Anyway, the unfortunate part is that you can hardly find any college or university which offers this course at UG level and even at PG level in India.
I would suggest that you pursue B.Sc in Mass Communication & Videography course at SXCKOL. It would help you a lot with your career. BA in Journalism is not a single course. Journalism is there in the said course and also with other BA honours courses, such as Bengali, English, Pol. Sc. & Sociology.
Best wishes for your HS result.
All the best.

Hi Sachin,
Preparation for the test is not necessary if you do certain things regularly like reading newspaper or going through news in paper, TV, internet, etc. Watching films like Indian, Foreign, etc. and having a writing habit writing in the sense kind of creative writing. If you are not habituated with this things then start. Basically, half of the question paper has GK & current affairs, objective questions on films & entertainment.The other half has creative writing, topics or situations are given one has to write on those.
I guess you got a clear picture of the preparation. If not, then please go through news; all kinds of news, read little bit of GK, watch films if you don't have time then at least know about classic, famous, recent, etc. films, film-entertainment related awards, etc. Write on a regular basis on current topics. Be creative through words.
Lastly, one thing I want to say that I haven't 'prepared' (so called prepared) but I was there in the top 3 among thousands of candidates. So, don't take pressure. Sometimes, your daily life makes you prepared.
All the best.
