Welcome to Christ

There was an entrance examination by the University itself held for the me during the month if February in abudhabi , being an BRI student. The entrance exam was a test on knowledge of various subjects which included basic accounting, English, problem solving and creative writing . What mattered was teh interview which had micro presentation as it's main component. The topic was given on the spot and the interviewers looked on how confident you are in front of them , even if you didn't have clear knowledge on the topic.

My course is Bcom Professional which is an integrated course OF Bcom with CIMA and insurance/CS. It's well planned and gives us an advantage of a 10 paper exemption from the overall 17 papers of CIMA. This helps us to complete all these 3 courses within 3 years with proper coaching.

No our college does not offer any internship opportunities. However , it is encouraged by the college faculty to take up internship outside the college . Our classes are from 6:30-12 and then 1-3 for 3 days a week and other days just from 6:30-12 . This gives us ample time to go for internships or part time jobs after college.

The placements were good from the college. The companies which came to the college as per my knowledge alone are KPMG , PWC , Tata AIG, Earnest and Young , Dell , Wipro and more. Students were placed with good packages of about 4-8 lakh per annum.

Christ university is better known for its fests and extracurricular opportunities than academics. If you just looking for a place to study, Christ is not the right place. Christ is for those who want to develop multi dimensionaly. Cultural fests like Darpan , Blossoms are held every year. Business festing is is held in oru department . Our department especially gives a lot of opportunities to showcase our talents and also go for tests outside the college even outside Karnataka.

The fees is expensive when it come to our department that is the department of professional studies. As I told ours being an integrated course ,The fees is expensive . We have Sri Lankan faculty for CIMA classes. We pay more than 2 lakh a year and myself , being an NRI pay around 3 lakh per year. Also , we need to pay for the exam fees for Insurance /Cs and CIMA in addition to the fees.

I don't stay in the college hostel. There are plenty of hostels and paying guests facilities around Christ Univeristy. The college hostel is very cheap and also very huge , clean a nd hygienic . They have single, double and triple sharing . Triple sharing is as cheap as around 40000 per year. But they do not have any mess facility. People staying in mess can have food from the canteen.

The exams happen twice a semester . Mid sems and end sems are the exams that happen. More than that want matters is CIA - Continous internal assessment . There are 3 CIAs every semester , the 2nd one being the Mid semester exam . CIAs are quite hectic to be honest, especially when the assignments are to be done in groups. CIAs are marked out of 20 and Mid semesters are put of 50 and end semesters are put of 100. On addition to this 5 marks are for attendance

We had to first send our applications and the entrance was in February for NRI students. The first one was an entrance test , then we had creative writing . Next was the interview which had micro presentation and for some courses it included group discussions as well.

The faculty is really good for some subjects and average for others. After all , it isn't school anymore and you would have to rely on your self more than on your teachers for passing your exams. However, most of the teachers circulate notes which are quite sufficient to pass. Our college does not give any textbooks . We will have to get them from the library or teachers use worksheets to teach us . Teachers are strict here , and strict with marking as well. So even if you write your exams really well , some of them might end up marking you less than what you expect. Teachers are of course well qualified and knowledgeable. The only concern is that some teachers despite being highly qualified , are not able to deliver that to students effectively.
