Question 1

Which college is the best for BBA between Symbiosis, NMIMS and Christ University?

Accepted Answer

According to me, Christ University is the best option. Being a student of this university, I would like to say that Christ has fulfilled all the expectations that I had. At Christ, you will get an overview of the various aspects of business management. This two-year degree will help you to be knowledgeable about accountancy, finance and commerce. You will learn how business operates in the real world. Our university has some of the best faculty who continuously guide you throughout the course. Also, be prepared to solve lots of case studies. Study hard and try to gain practical knowledge as you will be tested rigorously during the midterms. The campus life is awesome at Christ. There is always some fest going on the campus and you can join any of the multiple clubs that are present or create a club of your own.

Question 3

Is Christ University, Bangalore, a good option for B.Tech?

Accepted Answer

Although Christ University has a huge reputation nation-wide, it is mainly known for its management and undergraduate programs.

I decided to pursue my B.Tech from Christ, but I found out that this institution is not the best option in Bangalore for engineering studies. After a lot of research and consultation with my friends, I have curated a list of good engineering colleges in Bangalore which you can consider for your B.Tech.

Here is the list-

MS Ramaiah Institute of Technology
BMS College of Engineering
International Institute of Information Technology (Bangalore)
PES University
RV College of Engineering

Christ is well known in the industry, but it does not have any standing in the job market for engineering courses. It offers average level B.Tech courses. Thus, I would recommend you consider other good engineering colleges in Bangalore for a B.Tech instead of opting for Christ.

Question 4

How is the BSc course at Christ University, Bangalore?

Accepted Answer

I am a BSc. student at Christ University. My experience of pursuing this course at Christ has been a mixed bag.

The faculty for BSc. at Christ is average at best, and the facilities offered to students are not up to the mark. One can approach the respective subject teacher if one wishes to study and research in that particular field.

Some events organized by the university which are related to this field, are quite good in all honesty. Another thing is that Christ University imposes a lot of rules and regulations on students, which can be very burdensome at times.

Overall, Christ University offers a decent BSc. program, and you can opt for the same if you do not come across better options.

Question 5

How is the B.Com with the CA program in Christ University, Bangalore?

Accepted Answer

The B.Com with CA program offered by Christ University, Bangalore is a good course. But the course work is heavy and the institute has strict rules in place regarding attendance.

For their B.Com Finance and Accountancy program, Christ University provides a Chartered Accountant program support and curriculum. Through this program, you will be familiarized with subjects like Accountancy, Company Law, Commercial Law, Taxations, Cost and Management Accounting, etc.

The coursework is designed in a way that your CA foundations will be cleared during the first year. During second year, you will learn about the intermediate level of CA. During your final year, you will undergo an article-ship. The university also offers professional training for 180 days during 5th and 6th semesters. This program has continuous internal assessments through poster making, reviews, essay writing, etc.

Christ University, Bangalore offers good placements for the program. Axxela, Bain capability network, Boston consulting group are the major recruiters for B.Com and CA program. Students usually receive an average CTC of around INR 5.7 LPA.

Question 6

What is the difference between a BBA and BBA (Honours) at Christ University?

Accepted Answer

In terms of syllabus and curriculum, the BBA (Hons) offered by Christ University is better. Most MNCs prefer BBA (Hons) to BBA. This course is ideal for students who want to go abroad after graduation. The BBA (Hons) degree has many options for credit transfer as well.

Other than these there is no such big difference between the two degrees. Both will offer you good exposure and opportunities.

Question 8

How is law at Christ University?

Christ University is a good option for pursuing Law degrees. It has a dedicated law faculty. The student crowd is great. You will get to meet many talented students.

Every Friday, there are extra-curricular activities like group discussion, debate, and extempore. Intra moot courts are organized frequently. Christ also organizes National Moot Court every year. Almost all the top Law schools participate in it.

Various law firms, corporate houses, NGOs, LPOs recruit from the university. Justice & Care Bangalore, Adlaw Partners, GMR Infrastructure Ltd. are some of the major recruiters from Christ University Law placements over the last few years.

Question 9

For a Master’s of Computer Applications (MCA), is NMIMS, Mumbai better or Christ University, Bangalore?

Accepted Answer

Background does not matter much. It is a subjective question as it depends on many factors and the factors may or may not align with one’s goals and preferences. For MCA Christ has an edge over NMIMS. If you are okay with some strict rules and dress codes then for sure Christ is a better choice.

Question 10

Should I do a BBA from Christ University or IBS hyderabad?

Accepted Answer

It’s your attitude towards learning that matters more than the college itself. Yet if I have to comment on the two colleges, I would say Christ University is a fairly good choice. The main reasons are

The fest culture makes you come out of your comfort zones and test your limits and diversify your talents.
The overqualified rules set by the college increase your patience level ten folds
You get to live in Bangalore, the city of innumerable opportunities and dreams.

However, if you are joining the college with the mindset of being taught then you need to rectify it. Here it’s you who has to force yourself to learn no one is going to push you. Anyone who wants to learn about business, in reality, will not be able to gain much from this B School. The B School churns out managers only. Rarely does it give birth to a business owner or entrepreneur despite the university’s module for entrepreneurship in a semester.
