Christ University, earlier known as Christ College, is a private deemed university located in Bengaluru, Karnataka, India.[9] Founded in 1969 by the CMI Fathers on the Dharmaram Campus, it was declared as an institution deemed to be university under section 3 of UGC Act 1956.[10]

Christ was one of the first institutions in India to be accredited in 1998 by the National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC), and subsequently in 2004, 2016 and 2022 had been awarded Grade 'A+' on 4-point scale.[15]
