It depends on whether you will be pursuing an undergraduate course or postgraduate degree. If you are aiming to pursue an undergraduate degree, then you will be asked questions based on your knowledge of classes 11th and 12th. For postgraduate students, you will be asked questions from your graduation course. Be thorough with the basics as the interviewers want to test your knowledge of the subject. The questions are not very tricky and if you have an understanding of the subject, then you will be able to answer the question easily. Also, you will be tested on your communication skills and how well you can convey the answers to the interviewer. Do not lose your confidence, if you are not able to answer a few questions then let the interviewer know and they will ask you different questions. Do not be nervous as the interviewers are very friendly. 

According to me, Christ University is the best option. Being a student of this university, I would like to say that Christ has fulfilled all the expectations that I had. At Christ, you will get an overview of the various aspects of business management. This two-year degree will help you to be knowledgeable about accountancy, finance and commerce. You will learn how business operates in the real world. Our university has some of the best faculty who continuously guide you throughout the course. Also, be prepared to solve lots of case studies. Study hard and try to gain practical knowledge as you will be tested rigorously during the midterms. The campus life is awesome at Christ. There is always some fest going on the campus and you can join any of the multiple clubs that are present or create a club of your own.

Although Christ University has a huge reputation nation-wide, it is mainly known for its management and undergraduate programs. 

I decided to pursue my B.Tech from Christ, but I found out that this institution is not the best option in Bangalore for engineering studies. After a lot of research and consultation with my friends, I have curated a list of good engineering colleges in Bangalore which you can consider for your B.Tech. 

Here is the list-

• MS Ramaiah Institute of Technology
• BMS College of Engineering
• International Institute of Information Technology (Bangalore)
• PES University
• RV College of Engineering

Christ is well known in the industry, but it does not have any standing in the job market for engineering courses. It offers average level B.Tech courses. Thus, I would recommend you consider other good engineering colleges in Bangalore for a B.Tech instead of opting for Christ. 

I am a BSc. student at Christ University. My experience of pursuing this course at Christ has been a mixed bag.

The faculty for BSc. at Christ is average at best, and the facilities offered to students are not up to the mark. One can approach the respective subject teacher if one wishes to study and research in that particular field. 

Some events organized by the university which are related to this field, are quite good in all honesty. Another thing is that Christ University imposes a lot of rules and regulations on students, which can be very burdensome at times.

Overall, Christ University offers a decent BSc. program, and you can opt for the same if you do not come across better options.

Christ University entrance test, CUET is conducted each year for most of the UG and PG courses. The examination duration is 90 mins. So, you will get 45 seconds for each question. The questions asked in the test are usually difficult. 

The question pattern will depend on the course. Generally, there are short essay-type questions. Christ University changes its examination pattern regularly as well. 

For preparation, be thorough with your basics and stay updated with the current affairs as much as you can. 

Due to the lockdown, Christ University took admission interviews online. The interview includes a micro presentation. You will be given 60 seconds to brainstorm your micro presentation topic and then you will have to talk about it for 90 seconds. 

The interview usually starts with an introduction round. Students are asked questions about their background, achievements, work experience, etc. There will be questions on the subjects you had in +2 level. The difficulty level of the questions is moderate. At the end of the interview, they usually ask questions like - ‘What makes you a good fit for Christ University?’ or ‘Will you be able to adapt to the environment here?’

Every college has its own set of pros and cons. Both Christ University and XIME are well-known reputed institutions. It depends on the course that you aim to pursue to compare which is better. When it comes to campus life, Christ is the winner. The beautiful green campus with acres of active campus life of the students being involved in multiple extracurricular activities, seminars and workshops is what attracts the students. However, the fee structure of Christ is a bit higher as compared to XIME. Both colleges are known to provide good placement to their students and are visited by top recruiters. However, it again depends on your course of preference. Go through the websites of both colleges and talk to seniors who can guide you with some other queries which you may have.
