Hi.

CU admissions for B.E./B.Tech (and most UG courses) are based on its own entrance test CUCET. 

According to CU's 2026 admission criteria page, to get admission you must apply through CUCET; that's the standard path for all engineering programmes. 

While CU does accept JEE Main rank/scores, that acceptance is primarily for the purpose of scholarship eligibility (merit-based fee waiver) rather than for seat allotment.

The official “JEE-Mains Performance Based Scholarship” scheme mentions that at most 5% of total intake seats in each course are offered under that scheme.

CUCET is mandatory for admission — you can't skip it just because you have a JEE Main score. 

The 5% “JEE-based” seats are scholarship-seats, not a separate admission quota that reserves seats for JEE-qualified students regardless of CUCET.

The rest of the seats (≈ 95%) are allotted based on CUCET performance; all applicants, JEE-qualified or not, compete in those seats equally through CUCET.
