Hello Rebecca Mariam Joe, Kristu Jayanthi College was founded in the year 1991. It is managed by a trust called Bodhi Niketan Trust. The college is affiliated to Bengaluru North University. With this one would imagine that the college offers courses that have been designed by this university. The college is accredited with A+ by NAAC in the year 2021. However the college got autonomous status in the year 2013 and as a result it can formulate its own courses and syllabus. 

The college has divided Science faculty into following streams :-

Dept of life sciences 

Dept of forensic science 

Dept of computer science 

Dept of physical sciences

Each of these streams offer different combinations for pursuing BSc. But unfortunately what you are seeking is not available, meaning at least two of physics chemistry and maths, for doing your graduation in BSc. 

The courses as they are mention appears to be designed for giving students what the industry requires in today's age and hence they appear to be having great opportunities for placements. I would urge you to consider this aspect before rejecting the courses available in this college. 

Best wishes to you.
