I chose St. Xavier's College, Mumbai, for its reputation, alumni network, experienced faculty, and strong placement opportunities. The exposure here is incredible. For BMS admission, we had an entrance exam (100 marks) covering general knowledge, logical reasoning, critical thinking, and English literature. The final score was based on 60% entrance exam marks and 40% 12th standard marks, with no interview. BA and BSc admissions are based on 12th marks and an interview. Preparing involved current affairs, mock tests, and reading. The college offers diverse exposure and strong academics but can be competitive and sometimes lacks individual attention

I was a bit scared as I heard the cutoffs are usually high like above 80 but luckily I got in at 71.83 as the cutoff fell a lot this year. The PI was easy like only simple questions like why you want this sub or College that it nothing complicated.
