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. 

Academics:

• The students of Ashoka University have been the aces for a long time. 
• The Social Science department (Economics, Political Science, History, and Sociology) is often compared to Delhi University’s Social Science department which is a huge achievement. 
• Their Computer Science course is exceptional and has been approved by the University of Pennsylvania’s CiS. 
• The environment at Ashoka is lively and competitive. 

Faculty:

• The academics in both the universities are similar but Ashoka University has better and higher qualified faculty with numerous research papers to be credited for. 
• They have full-time professors who are helpful and cooperative.

Location:

• The distance of the university from your residence is a huge determining factor.
• Krea University is two and a half hours away from Chennai City and Ashoka University on the other hand is over an hour from Delhi. 
• It is a known fact that Delhi has better transport facilities therefore traveling and transport facilities are not much of an issue.
• Krea University is located in a remote place and the only transportation available is by bus from Chennai. 
• Students who would choose comfort over education would rather strike out this option.

Financial aid:

• The financial aid provided in both universities is limited as it depends on fundings and financial constraints. 
• It is suggested to not rely on it much as it would not be sufficient.

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.

• The hostel, library, students, and, most importantly, the great instructors comprise Ashoka. 
• Particularly the history and literary departments of the University have many great facilities to offer to the students. However, Krea follows a similar pattern for the departments of liberal arts. 
• The current hostels and classrooms of the university are excellent. 
• Some of my friends were in the first batch of the university and their experience was pretty good. 
• The members of the faculty and administrators hired thus far are good. 

I would suggest that you should take into account the location of both these universities before making your decision. 

Krea University has such a diverse group of students. Almost everyone has distinct schedules for the day. According to some of my friends studying there,
