Complete Guide to Get Through St. Xavier's Entrance Exam and Interview with Personal Experience
What are expected SEE result for the selection?
SEE result is the controversial topic for the selection. It matters but you need not to lose hope if you have a low scores in some of the subjects below the eligibility criteria. There are lots of my friend who have even lower grades in STEM subjects but did good in their interview and got selected. Selection for the entrance examination is totally on merit basis and SEE result is not considered in the entrance test. After cracking entrance exam, interview is the crucial phase if you have low scores. In my case I have luckily perfect and minimal score to be eligible and done great in interview (first interview experience). So, I was pretty sure for my selection after my interview.
Eligibility criteria for selection
- Must have grade A or above in Science, Maths, Opt. maths and English
- Must have at least B+ or above in other subjects
What if I do not have selected Opt. math as an optional subject?
It does not affect too much in your selection just focus on the opt. maths topics to crack entrance exam and do good in the interview to get selected. There are lots of my friend who got selected who had ever studied Opt. maths in their entrance preparation.
How much result of grade 8 matters?
It does not effects at all. I have considerable low score and would get rejected if grade 8 result would be considered. In my case, I was batch of lockdown that is also the reason why it didn’t effected my selection.
Remember that, your selection depend on your interviewer after selection in entrance test which is totally on merit basis. So, you need to convince them through your personality.

There are lots of institutes that provide bridge course and some of them specially provides St. Xavier’s college entrance preparation. Top institutions providing St. Xavier’s entrance tests are Intel institute, Tesla institute, etc. Even though, institute does not affect your study too much.

What is the course for entrance of St. Xavier’s College?
Talking frankly, there is no any complete course provided by institution for their entrance test. All of the entrance preparation institutes provide courses to the students by observing past year questions. But there is a misconception that questions are asked from grade 11 in considerable amount, truth is that you need to know snippets of course of grade 11 only and that is enough to ace your entrance. Talking about my experience, I had enrolled in online course and all the institute focuses on grade 11 as they are supposed to fill the gap between the course of grade 10 and 11. This practice put the students in dilemma about the course and overview of entrance. Since I was feeling difficulties to study grade 11 course as a beginner, I used to see only overview of grade 11 course and get focused on grade 8, 9 and 10 courses which was lead in the entrance test question by taking about 80% to 90% area of the question. But, there was difference in the way of asking questions by adding difficulties in questions. English questions are too tough that I had found in my point of view.
