Is there anything that I need to know before taking admission in this college for B.Sc in mass communication & videography for batch 2017?

Yes. There are lot of things which you have to keep in mind. First I must tell you that St. Xavier's College Calcutta is one of the best Mass Communication college in India. Most importantly you have to know the eligibility criteria of application. Last year it was 60% in 10+2 level. As there is an admission test you have to prepare for that (only if you want to prepare seriously). One doesn't need to prepare if he/she reads newspaper daily or goes through the news on a daily basis and watch films (Indian, foreign). The paper is set with some Basic questions from popular films, current affairs. Creative writing covers almost half of the paper so you have to write well with creativity. If you writes regularly then it'll be easy for you but if you don't then don't worry you have been writing your exam papers for years. You must know that our prestigious institution has reached another height as it'll be St. Xavier's University from 2017(next session). So you'll be a student of a university which can provide you lot of facilities and you must know that the fees of the course is more than Rs 2.5 lakhs (less than 3 Lakhs) for 3 years. So you or your family have to be ready financially. All the best.
