I ignored the filename, and pasted https://christuniversity.in/uploads/course/
into FF. Here's the text copy/pasted off the page that was displayed.

Just a data point.

So, same results as before -- one IP works, the other does not, and I
got lucky with the FQDN (a previous test got the wrong IPv4 address and
timed out).
Testing Firefox:
https://christuniversity.in/uploads/course/
https://103.105.225.131/uploads/course/
https://111.93.136.229/uploads/course/
All three time out.
Doing whois searches on the A record IP addresses:
1. https://www.whois.com/whois/103.105.225.131
The IPv4 address holder appears to be a small ISP with 4 @ IPv4 class C
ranges (1,024 addresses). It appears nothing is connected to the
christuniversity.in IPv4 address.
2. https://www.whois.com/whois/111.93.136.229
The IPv4 address holder appears to be a larger ISP with 1 @ IPv4 class B
range (65,535 addresses). It appears there is a host connected to the
christuniversity.in IPv4 address, but I cannot connect to its web server.
STFW for information about DNS A (Address) records, I see:

What is a DNS A record?
...
The vast majority of websites only have one A record, but it is possible
to have several. Some higher profile websites will have several
different A records as part of a technique called round robin load
balancing, which can distribute request traffic to one of several IP
addresses, each hosting identical content.
So, two DNS A records for the same FQDN is allowed and can be useful.

I find it strange that there are no A records for:
ns1.christuniversity.in
ns2.christuniversity.in

Those IPv4 addresses do match the existing A record addresses.

Perhaps admin at christuniversity.in is a working e-mail address?

AIUI TXT records are tied to authentication and authorization for
various Internet services.
Doing the same lookup for my domain (holgerdanske.com), I only see a
portion of the DNS records that I see via my hosting provider's control
panel. So, there could be more DNS records for christuniversity.in that
we are not seeing.
