Established in 1969 as Christ College, it undertook path-breaking initiatives in Indian higher education with the introduction of innovative and modern curricula, insistence on academic discipline, imparting of Holistic Education and adoption of global higher education practices with the support of creative and dedicated staff.

Reviews

Placements: Placements are available but as a BBA graduate, the package offered is quite average. Companies like Gartner and Genpact visit the college. Placements are sufficient as BBA graduates plan to do an MBA rather than picking up placements. COX MBA accelerates their package in 2 years.

Infrastructure: The campus is very small, which makes students’ networking more fast.

Faculty: Faculty members are strict, but I guess they must be strict to maintain the decorum. The only corn of this university is attendance criteria, and it is the finest. Almost every faculty is strict, but at one point, they are understanding and supportive.
