The Department of Commerce at Christ University, Bengaluru operates under the university's Deemed-to-be University status, offering BCom in multiple specialisations. Christ University is a Jesuit-founded institution on Hosur Road, Bengaluru, holding NAAC A+ accreditation. The Commerce department is one of the largest and most sought-after BCom programmes in Karnataka — applicants consistently exceed seats, with shortlisting cutoffs above 85% in 12th Commerce.
