About Christ (Deemed to be University), Kengeri Campus

Christ (Deemed to be University) traces back to Christ College, founded in 1969, and was granted deemed-university status by the UGC in 2008. Its School of Engineering and Technology operates from the Kengeri Campus, a 78.5-acre site on Mysore Road at Kanmanike, Kumbalgodu, about 25 km from the university’s Central Campus on Hosur Road. The Kengeri Campus was started in September 2009 and also houses the School of Architecture and School of Business and Management.

As a deemed-to-be university, Christ sets its own syllabus and conducts its own admission process rather than following VTU. It is approved by AICTE, has NBA-accredited programmes, and is accredited by NAAC with an A+ grade (university-wide). Reported NIRF 2025 rankings for Christ’s engineering programme range from about 60 to 76 depending on the source; check the latest NIRF disclosure for the confirmed figure.
