Course Curriculum Overview
The faculty and results were the reasons for making the course appear attractive to me. Many students here lands up at IITs and ISI after clearing their respective exams like IIT Jam and M.Stat. The faculty here is great and have deep knowledge and understanding in their subjects however you might face difficulty in coping up at few moments if you are a non-bengali. Also, some teachers have a high pace of teaching so you might find it difficult to catch things in an instance. Also, some handful of teachers who teach us minor subjects use Bengali throughout. There are practical, mid-semester, and semester exams which take place every semester which is of around 6 months.
Fees and Financial Aid
The semester fees varies for different semesters and for different courses.You do not get any scholarship opportunities from the college itself however you can apply for Inspire scholarship if you scored good in 12th Board examination. Campus provide numerous opportunities for placements.

The library here is the best place to study which is fully air conditioned. Some classes don't have ACs installed. The canteen is a good place to hangout with friends and peers. The campus is however not much comodious as it has it's school affiliated with the college building. Students have to share a common field. Also, there is no badminton court availabe in college.

Admission
As far as I could remember, I filled the application form around May 2023. I applied for two courses, namely B.Sc Mathematics (Hons) and B.Sc Statistics (Hons). The application form was available on official website of St.Xavier's College, Kolkata. The form was very basic and each application charged me Rs 500. The merit list was prepared on the basis of our class 12th board examination percentage. The cutoff varied for different courses and different boards. There was quota for Christian minority students and who belonged to backward classes. The merit for Mathematics was prepared by 2xMathematics% + Aggregate% (out of 300). The cutoff for the first list of Mathematics was as follows- ISC-290 / CBSE-286 / WBHS-290 / OTHER BOARDS-286 The merit for Statistics was prepared by Aggregate%+ Maximum of Maths% or Stats%(out of 200). The cutoff for last list of Stats was- ISC-194 / CBSE-191 / WBHS-194 / OTHER BOARDS-193 I made it in the last merit list of Statistics.
