HI,

For BA, there are no entrance tests or interviews. You may have a meeting with the principal which is not very formal. For admission, once the HSC results are out, you need to fill the Mumbai university form which is on the MU website. Also fill the college form online on the college website.

Addmission process is simple in the month of may Xavier releases its application form just fill the form accordingly then register yourself with mumbai university by opening the MU portal (*many forget to register with mu and without this in addmission process they can make you not elegible also even if you clear the cutoffs*)

Then wait for cutoffs if you clear the cutoffs then with all your educational certificates (original) along with a printed copy of mumbai university form and Xaviers application form go to the addmission department

Eligibility :A minimum of 45% marks in H.S.C from Maharashtra Board or any other recognized board.

Hope it helps:)
