Should you pick MBA Executive at Christ University?

This course suits working managers in Bangalore who want an MBA without leaving their job.

Pick it if:
You want to grow in the job you have: classes sit on weekends and some other days, so you study in Bangalore without leaving your company.
You want a name recruiters check first: this was the first executive MBA in India to get NBA accreditation, and it sits in a NAAC A+ university.
You want a general manager's view, not one subject: there is no specialisation, so all four semesters cover every area of management through cases and projects.
You already work in Bangalore with two years behind you: you can apply without any entrance score, which saves you a whole exam season.
Skip it if:
You are counting on a campus job offer: the course is built for people who already work, and the university publishes no placement data for it.
You are paying the fee yourself on a small salary: the full fee is close to one year of the median pay of Christ's management graduates.
You have only one year of work and no score: you cannot apply this year, so write MAT, CAT or GMAT first.
You work outside Bangalore: the two-year route asks that you work in Bangalore, and every class is on the Hosur Road campus.
Counsellor's advice
If you have two years of work in Bangalore and your company backs you, apply as soon as the form opens. If you plan to change jobs, ask the Office of Admissions about the class days before you pay the fee.

In short
JAIN CMS asks for the same marks and one year of work, but it ranks lower in NIRF and mixes online classes. If you want every class on campus, keep Christ University first.
In short
Alliance ranks a little below Christ University in NIRF, and its fee is not published here. If the NIRF rank decides it for you, pick Christ University; check the Alliance fee on its site first.
In short
PES teaches its Executive MBA on weekends too, but it takes six months longer and is not in the NIRF Management list. If time matters, Christ University finishes sooner.
In short
DSU costs much less and finishes in 17 months, but it is not in the NIRF Management list. If the fee is your main limit, apply to DSU too; if the ranking matters more, take Christ University.

Fees and pay can change. Check each college site before you decide.

SLCU Christ University is one of the best private Law colleges in India. SLCU Law ranking by IIRF is 16 out of 50 in India in 2024 and it was ranked #17 out of 70 by India Today in 2023.

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.

Do I need Work Experience to be selected by Christ University for an MBA?

Shahzad KhanMBA Human Resources Management from Christ University (2017 - 2019 Batch)

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.
