Entrance Exams & Admissions : This is true that anyone can get into CU. Getting into CU is not a tough job but to remain in CU is tough. CU is really strong in its disciplinary grounds and manages a very strong student care forum. Examinations are conducted very seriously and only eligibles are promoted. Any student having a 60% or above in their 10+2 can get into CU and for reserved categories, it is 5% less. CU does not have any entrance examination. It conducts an examination known as CUCET prior to admission for scholarship purposes. the admission procedure is very simple and online. Online and offline admission forms are available which needs to be filled and after the first-semester payment is done, admission is completed. No cutoff as such. For Btech courses the student must have PCMB in their 10+2.

Entrance Exams & Admissions : The elebility criteria for getting into CU is not that hard to meet. It only needs the student to acquire a 65% or above in their 10+2 for general students and for reseerved catagories the criteria gets redeemed by 5%. 1) Btech in CSE/ECE/Civil/Mechanical/mechatronis require PCB in 10+2 whereas BE in biotech or foodtech doesn't have any such criteria as it can be PCB or PCM or PCMB. From this year chandigarh universiy has arranged for a common entrace test which is applicable for scholarship purposes.(CUCET) To avail merit based scholarships student must attempt CUCET prior to admission. 2) There is no entrance examination. CUCET( chandigarh university common entrance test) is conducted by the university only for students willing to take up scholarships. 3) Typical cutoff for any course is 65% or above in 10+2 for general category and 55% for reserved catagories.
