Should you pick the PG Diploma in International Education at Christ University?

This course suits working school teachers who want to teach in IB schools and can study on weekends.

Pick it if:
You teach in an IB school or want to: the IB recognises this diploma for its Educator Certificate in the Diploma Programme, the paper IB schools ask teachers for.
You want to keep your school job: classes are online and the campus workshops fall on weekends in Bangalore, so you study while you teach.
You live in Karnataka: your total is INR 1.13 Lakhs, while a student from another state pays INR 1.33 Lakhs for the same course.
You want an internship inside an IB school: the second semester has a 240-hour internship, and certificate students do it in an IB Diploma Programme school.
Skip it if:
You teach primary or middle school IB classes: the certificate covers the Diploma Programme, the last two school years, not the younger IB years.
You want a placement record before you pay: the university has no placement figures for this diploma, and the INR 6.98 LPA median covers all two-year PG courses.
You cannot reach Bangalore on weekends: the campus workshops are part of the course, so living far away adds travel costs on top of the fee.
You will take time to decide after the offer: the fee must be paid within five working days of the offer, or the seat goes to the next teacher.
Counsellor's advice
If you teach the last two school years in an IB school, apply when the form opens and keep your mark sheets ready. If you teach younger classes, ask the admission office in writing which certificate you get before you pay.

ITARI finishes in fewer months and does not ask for teaching years, but it does not publish its fee. If you want a published fee and a university diploma, take Christ University; if you are new to teaching, ask ITARI for its fee.

Manav Rachna asks for the same marks and teaching years and finishes a month sooner. If you live near Delhi, ask Manav Rachna for its fee first; if you live in the south, Christ University saves you the travel.
In short
Azim Premji University offers part-time education diplomas, and none of them gives an IB certificate. If you need the IB certificate, take Christ University; if you want assessment or early childhood work, ask Azim Premji University for its fee.
In short
We found no Symbiosis figures for an IB-linked teacher diploma to set against this one. If the IB certificate is your goal, take Christ University; if you want a Pune campus, ask Symbiosis in writing what it offers teachers.

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.

I can say it is one of the top private universities to do LLM courses because of its education Quality, teaching methods, etc. SLCU offers decent placements with lucrative offers and high ROI. The Department has a seperate placement cells which guides and trains students for placements, how to face Group discussions for interviews, etc. Right from the final semester SLCU's active placement cells starts teaching students; how to sit for the interview, to talk and negotiate for high package, building an attractive CV, etc. The average CTC package when I completed my graduation at SLCU Christ University was between INR 4 - 7 LPA and for sure it is above INR 7 LPA these 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.

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.
