Should you pick BA Hons English at Christ University?
This course suits students who enjoy reading and writing and want a job with words, in media, publishing or teaching.
Pick it if:
You want a job in writing or publishing: the university names publishing, journalism, content writing, UX writing and Ed-Tech as the jobs this course leads to.
You like films and digital work as much as books: the course teaches cinema, linguistics and digital humanities next to literature from the first year.
You want pay that is going up: the UG 3-year median pay rose three years in a row, to INR 5.61 LPA for the latest batch.
You want internships near the campus: the campus is in Bangalore, where many media, publishing and tech companies take interns.
Skip it if:
You are counting on a campus job: only 53% of the latest UG 3-year batch was placed, and many students chose higher studies instead.
You want a small university: the university is very big, with thousands of students in each UG batch, so you must ask for help yourself.
You will wait for your Class 12 result to apply: the first test comes in December, so apply in Selection Process I while still in school.
You want only a three-year degree: this is the four-year honours track, so the fourth year adds one more year of fees.
Counsellor's advice
If you clear Selection Process I, pay the fee within five working days. If a fourth year of fees is hard, ask about the three-year BA before you pay.

Is Bangalore a good city for this course?▾
Yes, for internships in media, publishing and tech writing. Many of these companies have offices in the city, so you can take part-time internships during the course. If you prefer a small town and a quiet campus, this city may feel too busy.
How do I get admission to this course?▾
Apply online, then write the university's own entrance test. If you clear it, you take a skill assessment and a personal interview. The result comes within 48 hours of the last step, and you must pay the fee within five working days.

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.
