A comprehensive guide for admission in Department of Commerce, Christ University

I choose this course as it was integrated with US-CMA. The add-on course was facilitated by an external training institute called miles education. This course would have increased the employability of the students. The department of commerce has around one teacher for every 50 students. All of the teachers are highly qualified with a minimum of a master's degree. Most of the teachers have a PhD degree in place and they're continuously working on research projects as well. The teaching method is very much in coherence with the demand of the job sector today. Term exams were held every 6 months with a mid-semester exam happening between those six months. It wasn't difficult to pass the exam if the student was aware of what has been taught in the classes.

The students become eligible for campus placements at the start of their final year and the companies start visiting one after the other. Mostly by the end of the penultimate semester, half of the candidates who have applied are placed and the remaining placements happen in the final semester. The college even provides opportunities to students who are not placed even after graduation. The number of companies visiting for placements is north of 50 and almost 1000+ offers were made in the department of commerce alone. The highest package hovered around 15 LPA and the average would be around 5.5 LPA. The prominent companies to take the graduates are Deloitte, KPMG, PWC, EY, Bain, BCG, McKinsey, ICICI Bank, Tresvista, Standard Chartered Bank, South Indian Bank, etc. 80% of the students who have applied get placed during the placement process. My plans are to higher studies after the degree.

The fees increase by around 5% each year but only for new admissions. The fees have to be paid at the start of the academic year. The cost of living in Bangalore would also come up to rupees 250000 per year approximately. There was a merit scholarship awarded to the top 3 meritorious students in each class. There was also a provision for extracurricular scholarships as well as need-based financial scholarships. For this candidates needed to apply separately to the class teachers and heads of departments.

Life on the campus is very vibrant and we get to know people from various cultures. There are fest happening across departments every month and participation is sometimes restricted but in the annual fest of the departments, there is a variety of competitions as well as very grand prizes are up for grabs. The name of the annual business first or department of commerce is PRAYAS. A part from that there is a cultural fest called MITIGE and then there are fests like blossoms and in blooms which happen across the university. There are two libraries on the campus one on four floors and another one on two floors making it 6 floors of books across subjects. The library also has access to various magazines and journals. There is a University team for every sport and the university hosts many inter University competitions. Also, there is a club for every hobby and interest.

So for Christ University, there is an entrance examination called CUET which stands for Christ University entrance test. First of all, there is a test and then a personal interview round with faculty members. A candidate must qualify both to get admission. The application form can be found on the website of Christ University. The application fee for Indian students is around 1500 rupees. The application dates are in multiple rounds with first-round starting somewhere in November or December. The process is held entirely online.

The topics for GD mostly revolved around current business happenings as I was in a commerce course. Interview questions were also based mostly on the subjects we have read in our High school syllabus as well as the current business happenings. There weren't any other criteria for admission but the admission was based entirely on your performance in the entrance test and interview. The preparation for these rounds also was not very hectic as such. Simple awareness of subjects of High school and business and economics-related news would suffice.
