Yes, Chandigarh University considers your 12th-grade marks for admission to the Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) program. The university uses a merit screening process, which looks at your 12th marks along with your CUCET (Chandigarh University Common Entrance Test) score. To be eligible, you need at least 50% in your 10+2 or equivalent exams. Once you meet the eligibility, you can appear for CUCET, and then the university evaluates your application based on both your 12th marks and your CUCET score.

Absolutely! Having a humanities background is no barrier to pursuing Fine Arts at Chandigarh University.

The programme welcomes students from all streams, including humanities, as long as they meet the minimum requirement of 50% marks in their 12th exams. Many humanities students find the programme a natural extension of their academic interests, as the curriculum often connects with cultural, historical, and social themes. For example, a student who studied history might bring unique perspectives into courses like painting or applied arts.

The university values creativity and passion over specific subjects studied in school. Admission doesn't require a mandatory entrance test, although CUCET can help secure scholarships if you choose to take it. This makes it easy for humanities students to transition into Fine Arts and build careers in areas like illustration, advertising, and creative media.

Yes, you can get admission in Fine Arts at Chandigarh University even if you did not study Maths in 12th. For this course, subject choice in school does not matter much. The main eligibility is very simple. A student should have passed 10+2 or an equivalent exam in any stream from a recognised board with at least 50% marks in total. Even students who have done a three-year Diploma in any branch with minimum 50% marks are also eligible to apply. So, whether you had Science, Commerce, Humanities, or any other stream, you can still go for Fine Arts. This course is made for students who are interested in creativity, drawing, painting, or design.

Yes, Science students are fully eligible to join Chandigarh University's Industrial Design course, and in fact, many of the program's modules align well with their background. Students with Physics, Chemistry, or Mathematics in their 10+2 often excel because the curriculum integrates aspects of technology, materials, and user-centered design. Having a scientific foundation helps them understand ergonomics, structural design, and product mechanics more effectively. The course doesn't require prior experience in art or design—passion and creative thinking are more important. Science students can explore design specializations like UI/UX, wearable technology, and consumer product innovation, where technical knowledge is a major advantage. Admission requires at least 50% marks in 12th and performing well in the CUCET exam. Their analytical mindset often complements the design process, leading to successful careers in diverse industries like consumer goods, electronics, and transportation design.
