Ashoka University is a far better choice than institutes like NMIMS and Symbiosis. Yes, it's a fact Ashoka has short existence when compared with the other two institutes.
Ashoka University is entirely on a charitable drive by the group of big reputed entrepreneurs who motivate to make a radical change in the history of the Indian college education scenario. It focuses on better education rather than money-making students.
Symbiosis and others can not match Ashoka's record as you can see its alumni are in top companies. You will get good opportunities and exposure in Ashoka than in other institutes. Co-curricular activities and sports are the best part of the student in the institute, as you see in brochures on the website are the same.
Krea University is a newly established university, students tend to have their doubts while opting for it. Ashoka University on the other hand is a well-known esteemed university and is a brand tag in itself resulting in a huge number of aspirants.

Krea University is undoubtedly a rising to the top university and would be filled with challenges if you opt for it. For now, Ashoka University seems to suit better for any student.
Ashoka University is established in a better manner with its campus, facilities, and members of faculty. Here are some of the facts about both Ashoka and Krea.
I would suggest that you should take into account the location of both these universities before making your decision.
With the hit of COVID-19 all over the world, things were just getting worse. Ashoka University did a splendid job in the area and flourished in certain aspects.
Smooth transition -
Professors’ efforts -
Exams -
So, Ashoka University ensured doing its best in every aspect and has succeeded in doing so. It is not easy to change the way of things overnight. Offline teaching has been a traditional method of teaching. It was challenging for so many institutes in India to change their path from offline to online.
Ashoka University's acceptance rate is 8-9%. Getting selected depends entirely on how you present yourself. There are students who get admission with 61%, while there are instances where students with even 97% got rejected. Ashoka University searches for students who show promise and scope for development.

Students of B.Sc(H) in CS can pursue Post Graduate Diplomas, Masters, Doctor of Philosophy, and Certificate courses in subjects related to CS. The job opportunities for a student of a B.

The interview round of Ashoka University is usually casual. The aim of the interview is to check you are who you portrayed yourself as in the application. During the interview, they ask about books, movies, what are your strengths and weaknesses, etc. If you have any questions, you can ask then at the end of interview. Usually the interview duration is around 15 mins - 45 mins.
The major differentiating factor between the two is that while Ashoka is a reputed university that has made a name for itself Krea University is comparatively new to people and has yet to achieve that place.
Certain points that one can consider while comparing the above two institutes are:
FACULTY:
Apparently since Ashoka University is much older and more reputed than Krea University it provides elite professors to its students. Although the faculty at Krea is also amazing it still lacks when compared to that of Ashoka’s.
FEE STRUCTURE:
Apparently, Ashoka university is a bit more expensive than Krea University. Although both universities have provisions for education loans, financial aid etc. (refer to college brochure for details). Also, the details of fee structure for the mentioned course in respective colleges is as follows:
INTERNATIONAL EXPOSURE:
Interacting people with different backgrounds is one of the essential components of Liberal Arts.
Ashoka’s Summer Abroad/Semester Abroad programs provide students with these opportunities. This is because they also have tie-ups with some of the best institutes of the world including University of Pennsylvania, Yale University, University of California-Berkeley etc. which also provides their students to attend guest lectures from the professors of best universities of the world.
However, Krea University has also partnered with some elite international organisations (i.e. the Academic Internship Council (AIC), University College Cork (UCC), Australia Council for the Arts and University of Wellington (UoW) New Zealand India Research Institute (NZIRI)). And the number is yet to increase with time.
STUDENT GROUP AND PLACEMENTS:
Since Ashoka has established a name for itself it attracts mostly the best students of the country due to its past records and reputation which is a feat that Krea University will take some time to achieve since it is a newly established university (for UG in liberal arts).
Ashoka University maintains a decent track record of placements including recruiters such as RBL BANK, Albright Stonebridge Group (ASG), Microsoft Research (SGO), McKinsey & Co, Ernst & Young (EY), Bloomberg Quint, Mu Sigma, Boston Consulting Group etc. with average package offers ranging from 7-9 LPA.
Whereas since the first batch of liberal arts at Krea was incepted in the year 2018 the placements scenario is yet to unfold.
OP Jindal and Ashoka University both offer decent bachelor's programs in Economics. But the syllabus and education approach of the programs are quite different.
Overall, OP Jindal will be a better option for pursuing a UG degree in Economics.
