CHRIST, also known as Christ College and Christ University, is a deemed-to-be-university located in Bengaluru, Karnataka, India.[6] Founded in 1969 as Christ College, the UGC conferred autonomy to the college in 2004. On 22 July 2008, it was declared as an institution deemed to be university under section 3 of UGC Act 1956 by the Ministry of Education, Government of India.[7]

Christ is under the management of the priests of the Catholic religious order, Carmelites of Mary Immaculate (CMI), part of Syro Malabar Major Archiepiscopal Church. In 2016, the university was accredited by National Assessment and Accreditation Council with A+ Grade.[8]
