Christ University Entrance Test 2027

All dates are from CHRIST's own date pages. The 2027 cycle shows Session I only; the university publishes each session separately. The 2025 column is for undergraduate programmes (the PDF seen covers UG April and May 2025 sessions).

MBA has its own schedule: applications 5 September 2026 to 24 January 2027, group discussion and micro presentation on 31 January 2027, written assessment and interview from 31 January to 2 February 2027, final list on 6 February 2027. NRI and international candidates have a separate selection process.

Eligibility is set programme by programme on the university's programme pages (the Eligibility button next to each programme). Every applicant must also meet that programme's subject and mark conditions. Students in Class 12 can apply with Class 10 and Class 11 final marks or Class 12 mid-term marks; final-year bachelor's students can apply for PG programmes with the marks of at least four completed semesters.

Examples from the 2027 programme pages

• B.Tech: a pass in Class 12 with Physics, Mathematics and one of 14 listed subjects, at least 50% aggregate in Physics, Mathematics and that subject, and 50% in Mathematics.
• BCom (Honours/Honours with Research): a pass in the Commerce stream with at least 70%.
• BBA (Honours/Honours with Research) and BA (Psychology, English): a pass in Class 12 in any stream.
• BA LLB (Honours) and BBA LLB (Honours): a pass in any stream with at least 45%.
• BSc Actuarial Science: a pass in the Commerce or Science stream with at least 60%.
• MCA: a bachelor's degree with at least 50%; applicants from non-computer science backgrounds must have studied Mathematics, Computer Science or Business Mathematics.
• LLM: an LLB (three or five years) with at least 50%.

Candidates who take their Class 12 or final degree examinations in March to June 2027 may apply. The university states that the E-Admit card does not mean the eligibility conditions are met; that is the candidate's responsibility.

The patterns below are the latest the university has published. The PDFs carry 2026 in their names and the 2027 selection page links to them; CHRIST has not published separate 2027 patterns. The test is online and, for most programmes, lasts 90 minutes (60 minutes for some postgraduate papers).

Marking

• UG: each question carries 1 mark for a right answer and the PDF states a negative mark of 0.25 for a wrong answer; unattempted questions carry no marks or deduction.
• PG: the PDF states the papers and marks but does not mention negative marking.
• If tests for two applications fall on the same date and time, one test is written and the score is applied to both. If they fall at different times, each is taken separately. The score is not transferable to another date or programme.

CHRIST does not publish a topic-wise syllabus for the entrance test. The pattern PDFs list the sections and marks only, so the sections above are the official guide to what is tested.

• Undergraduate: English, General Knowledge, Current Affairs, Reasoning, Data Analysis and Interpretation, Mathematics, Fundamental Accounting, and programme-specific papers such as Psychology, Economics or Computer Science, Physics and Chemistry for B.Tech.
• Postgraduate: the subject papers named for each programme, such as Psychology topics for the MSc psychology programmes and Mathematics, Logical Reasoning, Computer Science and English for MCA.

The university sends mock test links by email before each session and repeats them on the admit card. Candidates need a working camera, microphone, power backup and stable internet for the whole test.

The entrance test is the first of up to four stages. The 2027 programme lists mark each programme with the stages it needs.

• SA, MP and PI are held in person at the venue chosen in the application, as the admit card says. Candidates who fail to appear at the set time are treated as Not Selected.
• Candidates with several interviews on the same day should report to the first and ask the admissions in-charge to arrange the rest.
• Selected candidates must pay the fee and finish admission formalities within 5 working days of the result, or as the Offer of Admission Card says. The student and at least one parent must be present, with the original documents listed in the offer card, a set of photocopies and two passport-size photographs.
• CHRIST gives no rank list or counselling rounds on these pages; the final selection list is published on the application portal.
