Yes, there is a proper dress code followed at Karunya University. It is as follows:
However, during functions at the university or any special occasions, you should wear University uniforms (blue blazers and ties). T-shirts or jeans of any type including cargo and low waist trousers are not permitted.
You must wear lab uniforms on lab days which will be mostly 3 days a week. ID cards are compulsory to carry with or wear.
Here are a few things every 1st year should keep in mind at Karunya University:
Hope you have a good time here.
College life at Karunya University is the same for both boys and girls. You will have to follow the dress code, attendance, and morning prayers.
When it comes to hostels, girls and boys have different rules. Overall rules for girls are more strict. Girls have curfews around 6-6:30. Boys can stay outside for longer. You will also be under CCTV surveillance on campus.
Overall, if you choose your friends wisely, you can have a good time during your stay at the institute.
I completed my B.Tech from Karunya University, but I can tell you a bit about Sathyabama as well.
Sathyabama offers decent academics, good quality mess food, and good placements. But it is located very far away from the main city (Chennai). Moreover, its infrastructure is not up to the mark. Its biggest disadvantage is that students of the opposite gender are penalized for even interacting with each other. Boys and girls are separated right from the counseling process.
Karunya University is located in a beautiful and serene landscape, and surrounded by mountains on all sides. It has good infrastructure and quality education. Its placements are average. Its hostels are good, and the mess food is good as well. It has strict rules only for first years. It has a diverse student population, with students from other Indian states and countries as well. Hostel is mandatory for B.Techs, but not for some degrees.
It charges high fees, and some of its departments have poor placements. The rules are very strict about clean shaving. The faculty takes out personal grudges on students’ internal grades. Most of the hostels are located far away from the campus.
According to me, Anna University affiliated colleges are much more affordable for B.Tech studies. So you may consider them instead of these two universities.
There are many activities that you can do during the weekends at Karunya University.
Other than that students usually complete their assignments, wash clothes, binge-watch favorite series, and spend time with their friends, during weekends.
I have a few friends who graduated from Karunya University and according to them, it is a decent university for pursuing your MBA. The academics and teaching methodology employed at the institute is great.
However, the placement record of the university is not that great. The companies that come to campus placement for MBA are very few in number. But if you have the required skills you can get off-campus placement. According to the recent placement highlights the highest CTC offered at the institute is 25 LPA.
The Management of Karunya University changes the dress code for girls frequently. It depends on their mood. Some days kurti and leggings are allowed while some days they are scolded for wearing tight leggings. They won’t even let you sit for class with such clothes.
Girls are expected to wear a Salwar Kameez or Churidar with a dupatta pinned at the shoulders. They also have to wear the university blazer on special occasions. They also have to wear a lab uniform in the laboratory classes and wear their ID cards all the time.
Hope this helps you!

Pros
It’s one of the best places for nature lovers as it’s surrounded by beautiful nature and great climate.
Cons
I feel Karunya needs some changes and suggestions that would push the university to a better position.
My cousin is currently in the second year of his course at Karunya University. This answer is based on his experience as a fresher at the university.
These are some of the things that you should know as a frasher.
Karunya University is a Christian minority institution, but it treats everyone with the same respect. There is no partiality between the students of different religions. There are students from all over India so you can expect an extremely diverse experience.
Such multicultural exposure is very beneficial in the long run. Moreover, its serene location makes it a heaven for nature lovers.
