Should you pick MCA at Christ University?
This course suits students who want an IT job in Bangalore and are ready for a strict, busy campus routine.
Pick it if:
You want an IT job in Bangalore: Dell, Accenture, Infosys and Deloitte are among the firms that hire on this campus, and the city's tech parks are close by.
You do not have a NIMCET score: Christ University holds its own online assessment and interview, so no national or state MCA test is needed.
You studied a degree other than computer science: you can still apply if you took Maths, Statistics, Computer Science or Business Maths in Class 12 or your degree.
You want a steady placement record: NIRF data shows 93% of the PG batch placed at a median pay of INR 6.65 LPA.
Skip it if:
You want a small batch with close placement help: the university has over 38,000 students, so MCA students share the placement office with many other courses.
You expect product company pay from day one: the PG median is INR 6.65 LPA, so most offers sit near that figure and not at top product company pay.
You want meals with your hostel room: the Christ hostels do not serve food, so you pay for meals outside on top of the room fee.
You plan to think for a week after the offer: the fee must be paid within 5 working days of the offer, or you lose the seat.
Counsellor's advice
If you have 50% in your degree and a Maths or computer science subject, apply in the first selection round. If the offer comes, check the hostel room and the laptop cost before you pay within 5 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.

SLCU Christ University also offers lucrative decent placements with high ROI (Return of Investment).
The average placement package offered at SLCU Christ University ranges between INR 6 - 12 LPA. Bosch Limited, SBI Life Insurance, Karvy Group, etc. are some top recruiters in SLCU Christ University placements.

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.
