Student should take admission in St. Xavier college for graduation

I got my admission through merit-based. For getting admission, students should get a booklet for registration. Then do a choice filling for your college. once your number is on the merit list you have to go to that particular institution for verification.

A bachelor of science in electronics is the most likely degree for all science students. It's easy as well as have good criteria for getting a job. St. Xavier college has good faculties and the campus is absolutely cool.

The average review

You should complete the 10+2 standard. We find the college website on Google. You can apply for admission on the college website. You should be passed out from school. The college improve its website well this year.

I choose a Bachelor of Computer Applications at this college. There are 1 faculty per 50 or 60 students. The faculty teaches very well. The faculty is supportive. Every faculty did a master's or Ph.D. in its course. Exams are normally not too hard or not easy.

Best college for Bsc

Application forms can be found on sxca website when they are accepting admissions. Admission was based on a merit list and the merit list was based on class 12 marks. In addition to traditional admission methods, such as entrance exams and interviews, colleges can consider alternative methods such as portfolio reviews, essays, and recommendations. This can help to identify students who may not perform well on traditional tests but have other strengths and talents.

Course, curriculum, faculty members, everything is perfect. All teachers are well-qualified. If lectures are attended on regular basis, exams seem pretty easy and every exam is taken on time. I chose physics because of my interests.

My experience at st Xaviers ahmedabad (bca)

Eligibility is 10+2 for any stream. The total admission process is online. Students can apply for BCA through the college website with 450/- registration fees. Within a month college announce merit. In the 2022 year merit for the general was 89% and for obc it was 85%. They didn't take the entrance exam. Of any stream, students can apply for it. There is a special quota for the Christian student. Christian students are eligible at 45%. The admission process takes time about a month after the application form so I think it should be done within 15 days after the application is closed.

I chose this course because I was interested in the field of computers. The faculties are pretty good and supportive and also encourage students for new things to try. Their teaching method is more theoretical and less practical. All faculties are qualified and experienced.
