St Xavier’s College has started the admission process for its nine postgraduate courses for the 2020-21 academic session, Father Dominic Savio, the principal, said on Tuesday.
Online application forms will be available on the institute’s website till June 20, he said. The courses include two new ones — MA in sociology and MSc in economics.
The final selection will be based on admission tests, which are likely to be held towards the end of June, Savio said. But unlike previous years, the tests will be online this time. There are close to 800 seats in the nine courses.
“We don’t want students to visit the campus for the tests as a precautionary measure against the spread of the coronavirus,” the principal said.
The college offers postgraduate courses in English, Bengali, political science, physics, computer science, microbiology, commerce, sociology and economics.
Students who have cleared undergraduate honours courses in the respective subjects with a minimum of 55 per cent marks (45 per cent for reserved category students) can apply.
