What is the admission criteria for Bachelor of Commerce (B.Com.) at Loyola College?

Hi...

• Merit-Based Selection: The primary criterion for admission is the marks obtained in the Class 12 board examination (HSC or equivalent).
• Eligibility: You must have passed your Class 12 board exams with English as a compulsory subject and typically a minimum aggregate of 50%.
• No Entrance Exam: There is generally no specific entrance test for the B.A. English course; the selection is purely based on academic performance in Class 12.
• Competitive Scores: Due to high demand and limited seats (around 70), securing admission often requires high academic scores. For the general category, scores in the range of 90-95% or higher in the Class 12 board exams are often necessary to be considered for admission in the most preferred Shift-I programs.
• Reservation Policy: As a Christian minority institution, Loyola College provides preference and lower cutoffs for Roman Catholic Christian candidates, followed by other reservation categories (SC/ST/BC/MBC). This means the "cutoff" varies significantly depending on your category.
• Application Process: Candidates must apply online via the official Loyola College website during the application period. Shortlisted candidates are then called for document verification and potentially an interview.
