Christ PU College - Residential, Bangalore is the residential pre-university (PU) wing of the Christ group of institutions, founded on the same educational mission that established CHRIST (Deemed to be University) in 1969. The residential PU college was created to extend Christ’s emphasis on disciplined, holistic education to the two-year pre-university level, providing a blend of strong academics, co-curricular opportunities, and residential life to adolescent boys.
The residential campus is located on the Bengaluru–Mysuru Highway at Kanminike, Kumbalgodu (near Kengeri), on a large, green expanse of approximately 100 acres, developed as part of the Kengeri campus cluster. The campus has been designed to offer a “home away from home” for students, with hostels, classrooms, sports grounds and other student facilities laid out to support focused study and overall personality development.
Christ PU College - Residential was officially established in the mid-2005 as an offshoot of the Christ educational family to serve students from across Karnataka and beyond.
From the start, the college followed the Karnataka Pre-University curriculum while adding the Christ emphasis on values, discipline, and extra-curricular engagement.
Over the years the college has emphasised a balanced programme: rigorous PU academics (Science and Commerce combinations), structured residential life, sports and fitness facilities, and a range of clubs and cultural activities. Its leadership frames the PU College - Residential as part of Christ’s wider mission of Excellence and Service, linking its work closely with the larger university and educational institutions run by the CMI congregation.
