Kristu Jayanti is set to expand into Engineering, Allied Health Sciences, as mentioned by the Vice-Chancellor, Fr. Augustine George, Monday, during the inaugural session following attainment of Deemed University Status.

“Our concentration will be the improvement of our strong academic foundation, and it comprises three pillars: academic strength, integration, and outcome-based education. We will diversify our programs into the fields of engineering, allied health sciences, and some other emerging areas. These areas are not random additions to the portfolio the institution currently offers,” said Fr. Augustine.

The university has also announced that another campus will be opened, which is a 50-minute drive away from the existing campus, to accommodate its management courses. "Currently, we don't have any plans to open any campuses abroad, but we are considering incorporating some of our colleges that are functioning in Tamil Nadu and Kerala, which are managed by our group, KJU," he stated.

Additionally, the university will also strengthen its orientation towards research. "A mature university is measured not only by what is taught but by what is discovered. We are challenged to do more by asking the question: How did you contribute to the knowledge economy of the country? And the other question is: How do we turn this knowledge into wealth? The answer is research. We are committed to ensuring we develop the infrastructure and framework to do active research and succeed in this area," he concluded.

It is the second institution within the city to attain deemed-to-be university status, following Christ, and is managed by the Carmelites of Mary Immaculate.

The university has come a long way, especially if we remember the time when it began with nine students in the year 1999. "I remember the time when we selected the land, which was literally a deserted place. Then the institute attained autonomy in 2021, got A++ accreditation in NAAC, and now the deemed status in 2025," said the chancellor of the university, Fr. Abraham Vettiyankal.
