XET

Candidates must have passed or appeared for the Class 12 (HSC) or an equivalent examination from a recognised board. Applicants awaiting their Class 12 results may also apply, subject to fulfilling the eligibility requirements at the time of admission. Admission is granted only after successful verification of marks, documents, and eligibility conditions specified by St. Xavier’s College.

XET cutoffs are calculated as a composite score: 60% weightage from the XET entrance test + 40% weightage from Class 12 marks. Since St. Xavier's is a linguistic/religious minority institution, cutoffs are published separately for Christian and General categories (not the typical OBC/SC/ST state-reservation categories used by government colleges). Figures below reflect the 2026 first merit list for BMS (B.Com in Management Studies) and will be updated once 2027 cutoffs are released.

Unlike national exams such as NPAT, XET is a single-institution entrance test conducted exclusively by St. Xavier's College, Mumbai, for its own undergraduate programs (BMS, BAMCJ, B.Sc IT, B.Sc DSAI, and select PG courses). It is not accepted by any other college or university.

St. Xavier's XET counselling is a merit-list-driven process handled directly by the college — there is no separate centralized counselling round like in MHT-CET or MBA CAP. Step 1 — Merit List Release Once XET results are declared, St. Xavier's publishes category-wise merit lists on its official admission portal. The composite score used is 60% XET marks + 40% Class 12 marks. Merit lists are released across multiple rounds (typically 2–3), starting with the First Merit List. Step 2 — Check Your Rank & Category Log in using your application number and check where you stand within your category (General, Christian, SWD, sports quota, management quota, etc.). Each category has its own separate cutoff, so compare your composite score against the relevant cutoff for your category, not the overall list. Step 3 — Document Verification Shortlisted candidates must report (often with a parent/guardian) for document verification at the college. Required documents typically include: - Class 10 and Class 12 marksheets (or provisional/appearing certificate) - School/college leaving certificate - Date of birth proof - Category certificate (if applicable — Christian, SC/ST/OBC, EWS, SWD, etc.) - Passport-size photographs - XET admit card and scorecard Step 4 — Seat Confirmation & Fee Payment After successful document verification, candidates must pay the admission fee within the specified deadline to confirm their seat. Missing this deadline forfeits the offered seat, and it moves to the next round. Step 5 — Subsequent Rounds (if applicable) If seats remain vacant after Round 1, the college releases a second (and sometimes third) merit list, drawing from the waitlist. Candidates who weren't shortlisted in Round 1 should keep checking the portal rather than assuming they're out — round-wise cutoffs typically drop as rounds progress. Step 6 — Reporting & Enrollment Once fees are paid and documents are verified, candidates complete final enrollment formalities and are officially admitted to the program (BMS / BAMCJ / B.Sc IT / B.Sc DSAI, as applicable). Important Notes: - All communication is through the candidate's login dashboard and registered email/phone — check regularly during results season. - St. Xavier's does NOT conduct group discussions or personal interviews for BMS/BAMCJ admission — selection is purely score-based. - Preference in borderline cases may be given to students from Xavier's affiliated schools, as per college policy. - There is no separate "willingness" or "choice-filling" step like centralized counselling systems — your program/course choice is fixed at the time of XET registration itself.
