Candidates can follow these steps to check the cutoff:
What is the cutoff for St Xaviers Mumbai?
With merit-based admission to most of the courses offered by the SXC Mumbai, there is not the same cutoff for all programmes. For some of the popular programmes like BSc, BMS, BAF, etc., the 2025 cutoff ranges from 65% to as high as 97.20%, while for some programmes, the cutoff was quite low. This autonomous institute also offers quotas for the Christian Minority, Special Category, and Students with disabilities. For the Christian minority and SWDs, the cutoff for any programme is lower than usual. If you consider the previous years, then except for 2021, there was not such a high cutoff in recent years for any programmes. However, since 2024, the St Xaviers Mumbai Cutoff remains quite higher than expected.
Does St Xaviers Mumbai release separate cutoffs for minority and reserved categories?
Yes, the SXC Mumbai releases separate cutoffs for the students of minority and reserved categories. St Xavier's Mumbai provides a quota system for Christian minorities, Special Category and Students With Disabilities for admissions to St Xaviers Mumbai courses. While the cutoff for the general category students of both Maharashtra and Other boards is quite high for almost any course, for the Christian Minority and SWDs, it is quite low. However, in some cases, such as for admissions to most of the MA, BA programmes or flagship courses like BAF, even the Christian Minorities or SWDs are not spared, with the cutoff ranging from 84% to over 90%.
Is there a separate cutoff in St Xaviers Mumbai for students from other boards (CBSE/ICSE)?
Yes, St Xavier’s College, Mumbai, publishes board-specific merit lists for UG admissions. Students from CBSE, ICSE, and other national boards are evaluated separately from Maharashtra State Board applicants. Cutoffs for other boards, be they CBSE, ICSE, or other state boards, usually go higher than others. The highest cutoff for the other boards in the 2025 admissions was 98.80%, while for other categories, it was not so competitive.
How many rounds of cutoff are released for UG admissions in SXC Mumbai?
St Xavier’s typically releases 3 rounds of merit-based cutoff lists for undergraduate programmes. The 1st list includes top scorers and fills a majority of seats. If seats remain, 2nd and 3rd lists follow, each with slightly lower cutoffs. These lists are published on the official website with category-wise and board-wise breakdowns. Applicants must confirm admission within the stipulated time after each round. For self-financed programmes requiring XET, merit lists are based on combined entrance and academic scores.
Is the cutoff in St Xaviers Mumbai different for aided vs. self-financed courses?
Yes, aided and self-financed courses at St Xavier’s Mumbai have different cutoff criteria, and that provides different cutoffs for these two types of courses. Aided programmes under BA and BSc are purely merit-based, with cutoffs based on Class XII marks. Self-financed programmes such as BMS, BMM, and B.Sc. IT, MA Psychology, MA Public Policy, BA English & Psychology, etc. require the Xavier Entrance Test (XET), interview, SOP, and final selection are based on a weighted score: 60% XET + 40% academic marks. These programmes often have higher cutoffs due to limited seats and high demand. Separate merit lists are published for each course, board, and category. Moreover, cutoffs for the aided programmes are uniform, while for the self-funded programmes, there are different cutoffs.
Is there any cutoff for admission to the PG courses in SXC Mumbai?
Postgraduate programmes like MA Psychology and MA Public Policy at St Xavier’s College, Mumbai, do not have fixed percentage cutoffs. Instead, admissions are based on a composite merit score that includes entrance test performance (XET), UG academic marks, and interview or SOP evaluation. For MA Psychology, the entrance test carries 70% weightage, while Semester V marks contribute 30%. Final merit lists rank candidates based on this score.
