Christ Bannerghatta Campus Bannerghatta Road Bangalore Answered Questions

Lean operations and systems constitute the highest percentage of work ex students. So there's a great competition in getting placed in the top companies. LOS mainly brings in more of systems roles rather than operations roles. Good companies like HUL, TCS, Oracle, LG etc. come for placements. Highest package till now has been 8.9 lpa with NTT data for a student with 2.5 years work ex. Few companies come exclusively for experienced people like Facebook, HSBC, NTT data, Oracle etc. Sometimes they restrict the work ex upto 2.5 years as they might think he/she is over qualified. There are good number of companies that came with package ranged in between 6-7 lpa but don't expect much higher package until unless you are really talented enough.

HR in Christ is competitively not great as compared to other specialisations. The course structure and in terms of academics is good, but the placements process is slow at pace. Very few companies come and recruit HR students in Christ compared to other specialisations. But the few companies which come good ones like MTR, Sundaram Fasteners, Wipro, TCS, HUL etc. with an average package of 5.5 lpa.

Finance is all related to numbers and analysing according to those numbers. Background is not an issue while opting for Finance. Christ teaches you all the basics and terms in the first trimester. If you can pick them up soon and have an inclination towards the subject, you can thrive very well in finance. Present batch has more than 40% non B.Com students who got placed in very good companies like Oracel, EY, KPMG etc. And you have enough time to decide on your specialisation i.e. till the end of second trimester. So, you can check how compatible you are with finance and then decide on it.
