“I have had very personal relationship with Christ University since 2014-15. Right from my first visit to the impressive campus, I am always overwhelmed by the never ending enthusiasm of the Professors, to inculcate continuous creative thinking in the energetic and restless students who come from diverse upbringing, to achieve excellence in their field of study. I have keenly observed that the institution adopts novel training methodologies to bring out the latent intelligence of the students by regularly bringing in domain experts to interact with them. One of the activities that impresses me is the unique Insurance Club organised by the students to bring the best minds of the Insurance Industry, within India and abroad. I am also impressed by the Faculty who take pride, rightly so, in getting their highly competent students placed for internships and permanent appointment as well, around the globe. The students also derive enormous pride and satisfaction in publishing their research findings on the latest disruptions in the dynamic insurance field. I wish the Professors and the students never ending glory.”
