Should you pick B.Sc Data Science at Christ University?
This course suits students who enjoy maths and want a data job in a big tech city.
Pick it if:
You want a data job in a tech city: the campus is in Bangalore, where many analytics and tech firms hire, so an internship is a short trip away.
You want work experience before you finish: the university makes an industry internship compulsory for every student on this course.
You are from Karnataka: you pay INR 98,000 a year instead of INR 1.18 Lakhs, so the full course costs INR 4 Lakhs.
You want pay that covers the fee: the median UG pay of INR 5.36 LPA is more than the full fee of INR 4.80 Lakhs, as the ROI tile shows.
Skip it if:
You want a small batch at placement time: the university placed 2,783 of 5,056 UG graduates in one year, so you compete with a very large batch.
You need a hostel with food: no Christ hostel has a mess, and you get a room for one year at a time.
You need a job offer for sure: 55% of UG graduates were placed in 2023-24, so plan your own job search or higher studies too.
You will wait for your Class 12 result to apply: the first selection round comes in December, so waiting leaves you only the later rounds.
Counsellor's advice
If you have Maths in Class 12, apply in Selection Process I and keep a second college in your plan. If you are from Karnataka, keep your domicile certificate ready so you pay the lower fee.

In short
Jain places a larger share of its UG graduates, but its median pay is a little lower and its fee is not published. If Christ University gives you an offer, take it and keep Jain as your Bangalore backup.
In short
NMIMS charges more, pays a little more at the median and ranks higher in NIRF. If a Mumbai campus and the higher fee suit your family, try NMIMS; if not, take the Christ University seat.
In short
Amity ranks higher in NIRF but costs more than twice as much for four years. If the fee is a worry, take the Christ University seat and keep Amity only as a backup.
In short
Symbiosis ranks higher in NIRF, but its median UG pay is lower and its fee for this course is not published. If you want a Pune campus, check the Symbiosis fee first; if not, take the Christ University seat.
Fees and pay can change. Check each college site before you decide.

Can I pursue LLB from Christ University without BBA or BA?
Rohan TiwariLLM from Christ University (2016 Batch)
No, you cannot pursue LLB from Christ University without BBA or BA. My name is Rohan Tiwari. I have completed an LLM from Christ University. This is the same question that I had before.
Christ University, Bangalore offers different law courses including integrated LLB and LLM. School of love Christ University does not offer a direct LLB course. Candidates wishing to pursue LLB course must have to complete 10 + 2 or any Bachelors Degree for minimum 3 years. One cannot opt LLB without any prior Bachelor's degree. But if anyone likes to do only LLB then they have to spend 1 year extra which means that if someone has intentionally or unintentionally completed a 3-years degree course like BA, BCom, BBA, etc. then one can pursue a 3 years LLB course. So I have done BA Hons from Pune University but due to the transfer of my father, we relocated to Bangalore and later on I got interested in Law studies so I opted for a 3-years LLB course at Christ University. I spent 6-years for BA and LLB courses. So according to my experience it is better to pursue integrated LLB courses with BBA / BA or BCom, etc.
Is School of Law, Christ University good for BA LLB?

The law course at SLCU also provides Moot course facilities to allow students to gain practical knowledge.
As of my personal experience, SLCU Christ University also has only the best eligible candidates because admissions are offered through entrance based only which allow only limited and most eligible students to get the admission.
SLCU Christ University also offers lucrative decent placements with high ROI (Return of Investment).
The average placement package offered at SLCU Christ University ranges between INR 6 - 12 LPA. Bosch Limited, SBI Life Insurance, Karvy Group, etc. are some top recruiters in SLCU Christ University placements.

As a Christ University student, I would like to answer this question for you.
I have completed an MBA in Human Resources Management from Christ University in 2019. As per my knowledge, experience plays an important role in MBA admission into any top College/ University like Christ.
MBA Admissions at Christ University are entrance-based. Aspirants must qualify an MBA entrance and face GD PI rounds to get admission. For some MBA specializations and Executive MBA, one may also be asked for a minimum of 1-2 years of work experience in the relevant field.
After my bachelor's, I started working in a 4-star hotel and took a break from my studies. There I worked for 2 years and gained important knowledge and skills. I was given preference over other candidates because of my work experience.
This is how work experience plays a role in MBA admissions at Christ University.
