    On Comparisons
    Q:   Which college is easier to get admission into for a MA course among Azim Premji University and Christ University?
    A: 

    It is tough to compare which university is easier to get admission into for MA courses among Azim Premji University and Christ University. Both of the universities are privately owned and have similar reputations in Bangalore. However, if we compare the admission process, APU Bangalore accepts the scores of the CUET PG entrance examinations for admission to MA courses, and Christ University offers admission on the basis of the Christ University Entrance Test (CUET), Micro Presentation (MP), and Personal Interview (PI) rounds.

    Candidates can choose any of the institutions according to their preferences. The only difference between the admission process of these universities is that APU Bangalore offers admissions through the score of the national-level entrance examination. On the other hand, Christ University MA admissions are based on candidates' scores in the university entrance examination.

    Conclusively, candidates can choose any of the universities because, for some of the MA specialisation Azim Premji University also conducts its in-house entrance examination (Azim Premji University National Entrance Test).

    Q:   Which university is more affordable for MA courses among Joseph's University and Azim Premji University?
    A: 

    The total tuition fee for MA courses at Azim Premji University is INR 2.6 lakh. On the other hand, the total tuition fee for MA courses at Joseph University ranges from INR 1.6 Lacs to INR 2.8 lakh. Hence, it clearly can be seen that the fee structure of both universities is more or less the same. However, the fee for the MA course at St. Joseph University starts from INR 1.6 lakh. The fee structure can be only one component that candidates consider while comparing institutes, but several factors can be taken into account while choosing the best university/college, such as placement packages, seats, ranking of that particular institute, affiliation, accreditation, etc. 

    The fee amount mentioned is sourced from the official website/sanctioning body and is subject to changeTherefore, it is indicative. 

    Q:   Is Azim Premji University best in Karnataka?

    Overall best university for M.A. in the Development Course.
    Placements: A record of 95% placement has been maintained over the last several years in our college. Placements for the 2020-22 batch are offered with an average salary of 22 LPA and a median salary of 12 LPA, up 20% on average, compared to the previous year. Top recruiters are the World Bank, UNO, EY, etc. About 90% of students got internship opportunities.
    Infrastructure: The classroom facilities are average. There are no projectors in B.Teach courses. However, the conference and assembly halls are well-equipped and technologically advanced. The library has a nice collection of books. Don't expect much sport or a canteen.
    Faculty: Educators are supportive, highly skilled, and informed. It is represented in a hands-on manner, allowing students to grasp it easily. The lesson plan is outstanding and supports students in grasping the concepts efficiently and swiftly. It readies students for a profession in the field. Semester exams are quite simple. The percentage of students who passed was 90%.

    Satisfied with placements.
    Placements: Placements are not as strong if compared to TISS. A few good organizations also come like Reliance Foundation, Pradan, Azim Premji Foundation, and FES. Around 90% of people get placed every year. My plan after this course is Ph.D. College provides in-campus and outside-campus internship opportunities. You can get in-campus internships based on your interests and availability. You can earn a good amount for your other expenses. Outside campus, you can also get internships.
    Infrastructure: Hostel rooms are quite decent. Mess food is really bad. Even after so many complaints, I see no change in the quality of the food. The quantity also is not justified as per the price of the food. But staying in the hostel is feasible as the campus is isolated from the city, but you can get a flat on rent at around a 5-6 km radius. Facilities, I feel, there are a few unnecessary luxuries. There is an indoor gym, badminton court, and cricket field.
    Faculty: Many faculty members are either from JNU or have done Ph.D. from abroad. Faculty is really supportive, be it academic or non-academic issues. Their way of delivering lectures is quite different. Overall, my experience with the faculty members has been really good. The curriculum needs a change, I guess. Although it keeps on changing based on the feedback given by students. Some subjects are really great and can be applied on the ground. I must say, the field visits are great.
    Other: I am on a 75% scholarship. I pay around 21,000 every semester for both tuition and accommodation. But, I see that scholarships provided are decreasing every year. And there is a sharp hike in the fee as well.

    The college had good placements and good environment.
    Placements: Almost 99% of students got placements with good salary packages. The state rural livelihoods mission organisation, as well as a big CSR organisation come for placements. About 100% of students got internships. The lowest salary offered is Rs.25000 per month. In our course, most students took livelihood and health.
    Infrastructure: Facilities and infrastructure were awesome at this university. In the library, you could find almost all the books related to the course, internship,s or research. The hostel was too good. The food was awesome. You will get 4 times food which includes evening snacks too. You could find all the sports equipment to play with and the coach help you to learn sports. You could also go to a sports tournament.
    Faculty: The teachers at our university were too good and helped us to understand the topic from the basics. Once you have given attention in class then no need to study again for exams as professors used us to give assignments. By doing assignments, you will be getting easy understanding of the given topic which can help you in exams. There was no difficulty in the semester exams and there were grading marks. Almost every student passed with no tension of passing marks.
    Other: I choose this course because as we know, in India, livelihood, and education is the biggest problem. If people are educated then he/ she is employed, so my scope was to learn how we can bring livelihood scope to group of people so that others can be motivated and unemployment could be decreased. Every year Unmukt is celebrated where a huge crowd can be seen. All the festivals are celebrated by student council.

    Infrastructure: Currently, our university provides hostel only for girls. However, after 3 years, a 40-storeyed hostel will be ready for both boys and girls. The study room is available in the hostel, and the hostel provides a Wi-Fi facility for students. There is a dedicated library with access to various magazines, articles, etc., for free of cost, which is good.
    Faculty: Teachers here are very helpful and friendly. Azim Premji University has one of the top faculty members. Most of the sessions are interactive, which makes learning fun and interesting. The course curriculum is updated every year to make it useful.
