Founded in 1860, SXCS is one of Kolkata’s oldest and most prestigious Jesuit boys’ schools. The school is affiliated with the Council for the Indian School Certificate Examinations (CISCE) for higher classes (XI–XII), which is a strong academic board. The school emphasizes character, morality, and social responsibility, consistent with its Jesuit ethos
St. Xavier’s Collegiate School
Eligibility
Admission offered in which class
Performance-Based: Admission to Class XI (senior school) “depends on the students’ academic performance, behaviour, and the discretion of the Principal” for stream allocation.
Streams: Since the school follows CISCE for XI–XII, students choose a stream (Science, Commerce, Humanities) — stream allotment is likely based on past academic performance.
Class 10
Time of Application
Brief Prepration for the Test
No Public Fixed XI Application Window
No Public Entrance Test: The school’s official “Admission” page does not mention a written entrance test for Class XI. Their admission text only mentions academic performance and behaviour.
Merit + Discretion: Selection for Class XI likely leans heavily on Class X board / previous school performance, plus interview / school assessment by the Principal.
Since behaviour is part of the criteria, students may be evaluated on non-academic attributes (discipline, school ethos fit).
