Should you pick MA English at Christ University?

This course suits students who like reading and writing and want a job in content, media or teaching.

Pick it if:
You want a writing job in a tech city: Bengaluru has many tech firms with content teams, and the corporate track trains you for that work.
You want a clear link from course to job: the university lists three tracks with their own starting pay, from content to newsrooms to teaching.
You come from a non-English degree: the course takes any subject, so a science or commerce graduate can apply with 50% marks.
You live in Karnataka: you pay less tuition than students from other states, so your total is much lower.
Skip it if:
You want a fixed campus job at the end: the university gives no median pay for this course alone, so the job depends on your own internships.
You are counting on the 93% placement figure: it covers all 2-year PG courses of the university, not this course alone.
You need hostel meals: the university hostels have a common kitchen to warm food, so you arrange your own meals.
You plan to apply in the last round: each round fills seats, so fewer are left and you still sit a fresh test and interview.
Counsellor's advice
If you want this course, apply in an early round and keep the fee ready. If the offer comes, pay within five working days, or you lose the seat.

In short
St Joseph's costs INR 12,000 more and its PG median pay is lower, but it takes 40% aggregate with 50% in English. If your degree marks are under 50%, apply to St Joseph's; if they are 50% or more, Christ University gives you more for the fee.
In short
Mount Carmel costs less and its PG median pay is a little higher, but a smaller share of its PG batch got placed. If the fee is your main worry, apply to both and compare the two offers before you pay.
In short
Kristu Jayanti costs INR 63,000 less and reports higher PG pay, but it needs English in your degree. If you studied English, apply there too; if you did not, Christ University takes any subject.
In short
Jain sits one place above Christ University in NIRF and reports higher PG pay, but its site does not list this course's fee. If you consider Jain, get the full fee in writing before you pay anything.

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.
