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:
Faculty:
Location:
Financial aid:
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.
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,
Everyone has a varied schedule for studying and finishing assignments that are due. You will see a diverse group of people, some of whom may be wandering around campus or sitting inside the library or other establishments such as Longue till it shuts.
Saturdays and Sundays are non-working days at Krea University, some students may sleep all day or go out and do other activities. Every day is exciting, enjoyable, surprising, intriguing, and incredible at Krea University.
One of my friends is from Krea University. According to him and after doing some research online I gathered the following things.
Based on the family income of the students, Krea University offers financial aid to support them. They have initiated a work-study program as well. The campus has a great serene environment creating a calm, positive atmosphere all over the campus.
This answer is based on what my brother experienced during his immersion day at Krea University.
My brother thought their method of picking candidates was quite interesting and unique. He was never bored during the sessions because he learned a lot from the professors and the student debates.
One of my friends studied at Krea University. According to him, their U.G programme admissions process is both unique and innovative.
The following is the procedure for admission:
Due to the current pandemic, the UG admissions at Krea University will be done via online mode, for the time being, to comply with regulations implemented by the concerned authorities in the interest of the health and safety of the applicants and staff members of Krea University.
One of my friends studied at Krea University. According to him, it is well-known for offering a wide range of curriculums to its students.
The academic structure is such that provides students with enough time to discover their passion and interest in channeling their creativity for the betterment of their future. Some of the clubs active in the campus are Conversation, Dance, Fine arts, Gaming, I&E (Innovation and entrepreneurship), Literary Arts, Media Arts, and many more.
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.
