This selection process takes place from February to May. During the Entrance Test (ET), candidates will be required to answer multiple-choice questions online, with a duration of 90 minutes. The Micro Presentation (MP) involves the candidate speaking for 90 seconds on a topic given by the panel. The PI lasts for 10 minutes for UG programs and 15 minutes for PG programs.
The date and time for the selection process are automatically generated by the system. The link for ET/MP_PI will only be updated on the admit card, and no communication regarding the MP_PI date and time will be sent via email or SMS. Candidates must have their original marks cards and a photo ID available for verification at any stage of the selection process.
All candidates are advised to take the mock test, which will be sent to their registered email address two or three days before the chosen test date, to ensure system compatibility and avoid technical issues during the actual test. The Entrance Test will be proctored, and students must use a system/laptop with a camera, not a mobile phone. It is the responsibility of the candidate to ensure the availability of a camera, microphone, power backup, and a stable internet connection during the Entrance Test, Micro Presentation, and Personal Interview.
The results of the selection process will be made available on https://app.christuniversity.in as per the important dates section. Selected candidates will receive an E-Offer of admission, which will remain valid until the specified date mentioned in the offer of admission.
