• Advantage: It is away from the city's traffic chaos, providing a massive, lush green campus environment that city-center colleges (like SJCL or BILS) cannot match.
• Infrastructure: World-class buildings, digital libraries, and a dedicated Moot Court Hall that rivals National Law Schools.

C. Holistic "Jayantian" Culture

• USP: It is not just about books. The "Jayantian" culture emphasizes soft skills, dress codes (formals are mandatory), and punctuality.
• Outcome: Recruiters love "Jayantians" because they are groomed to be corporate-ready professionals from Day 1.

The Selection Procedure (3-Step Model)

Step 1: Online Application (The "First Mover" Advantage)

• Timeline: Applications for the 2026 batch are expected to open in Late February.
• Action: Visit kristujayanti.edu.in -> Admissions -> Law.
• Cost:₹1,200 (Non-refundable).

Step 2: The "Counseling" / Interview

• Once the application is reviewed, the student will receive an email for an Interview/Counseling Session.
• Mode: Usually offline at the Kothanur campus (for Bangaloreans) or online (for outstation students, subject to policy).
• What they ask:
  • "Why Law?"
  • "Why Kristu Jayanti?"
  • Basic questions on current affairs (e.g., "Who is the Chief Justice of India?").
  • Verdict: They look for Discipline and Language Fluency more than legal knowledge.

Step 3: Provisional Admission & Seat Blocking

• If selected, you will receive a "Provisional Admission Offer" via email.
• Deadline: You must pay the first-year fee (approx. ₹1.20 Lakhs) within 3 to 7 working days.
• Action: If you don't pay, the seat passes to the next candidate. This is where most delays happen.
