Despite encountering some glitches on the Mumbai University portal, I found the overall admission experience to be smooth. I did not need to call Xavier's helpline number or email them for any assistance. Since I applied online, I did not have to visit the campus in person.”
Person wishing to stay anonymous said, “I applied for the Bachelor of Arts in Psychology because I have a strong interest in the field and enjoy studying human behaviour. I chose to go through the offline admission process because I'm not very tech-savvy. Initially, I did call the Xavier's helpline number to inquire about the admission process, and they were helpful in providing the necessary information. I had to visit the campus on two separate days because there were a few documents I didn't have with me on the first visit. However, I didn't mind coming back since I loved the campus. The offline process was easy as there were people available to guide me through each step.”
