Chandigarh University (CU)

Hi, First check the eligibility and for doing B.Ed, we need graduation or post graduation degree with equired minimum marks. You have done M.Com and definitely you are eligible for the same. If you want to do B.Ed from Chandigarh University, then it is a good option. University B.Ed programme is NCTE recognised and the course has been designed to give the students hands on learning experience to prepare them for teaching profession. You have many oppotunities to attend seminars, workshops, exchange programs. Not only this but also there are options like internships, CTET/STET preparation, smart classrooms and research projects. 

So you can apply online as the process is very simple. There is admission portal on University's website, fill the form, upload the required documents and pay the fee and after that as per the process, University will confirm your admission. 

To consider if it is worth pursuing BTech at Chandigarh University or not, applicants can evaluate it on various factors, such as ranking, fee structure, rating, etc.. Check out some of the factors for evaluation, which can help students make an informed choice. 

Ranking: The BTech course at Chandigarh University has been ranked by various ranking bodies in the field of 'Engineering'. Moreover, as per the NIRF ranking of the previous three years, the improvement in the ranks can be seen. For a better detailed view, check out the table below:

BTech Fees: The total tuition fees for BTech courses at Chandigarh University range from INR 5.7 Lacs to INR 14 lakh. Thus, the one-year tuition fee costs between INR 1.42 Lacs and INR 3.5 lakh. Moreover, the highest placements package secured by the BTech graduates in the academic year 2024 was INR 54.75 LPA, and INR 9.54 LPA as an average package. Thus, the ROI of the university for the BTech course is moderate and justified. 

Yes, quaifying NATA (National Apptitude Test in Architecture) is complusory to get a scholarship for B.Arch at Chandigarh University.

To be eligible for admission to the B.Arch program, you must qualify either NATA or JEE (Main) Paper, as per the council of Architecture norms. However, when it comes to scholarships, Chandigarh University offers them speciffically based on your NATA score (or JEE Paper 2 percentile under a simiar bracket).

So, if you are aiming for a merit-based scholarship, you'll need to appear for NATA or JEE Paper 2, and your score must fall within the prescribed ranges (e.g., 150+ in NATA = 40% scholarship on academic fees).

In short:

• NATA or JEE Paper is mandatory for admission.
• For scholarship, NATA (or JEE PAper 2) performance is the key deciding factor. 

Yes if you have appeared for CUET-PG and scored well, you can get a scholarship for the MBA programme at Chandigarh University. When I was applying, I found out that CU offers upto 50% scholarship on the semester fee for students scoring 90% and above in CUET-PG. The regular semester fee for MBA is around  Rs. 1,05,000, so with a 50% scholarship, your fee would come down to approximately to Rs. 52,500 per semester. If your score is between 85–89.99%,  you get a 30% waiver, and with 80-84.99%, it's 15% off. Even if your score is between 70–79.99%, you will still get a 10% scholarship, which helps.

This is separate from any CUCET-based scholarship, and you need to submit your CUET-PG scorecard while applying. I found this option super helpful, especially since the MBA programme already offers good ROI through placements. This step of offering scholarships of Chandigarh University makes education more easily accessible for more and more students on the basis of their academic merits.

Yes, if you've scored above 150 in NATA, you'll get a 40% scholarship on the academic fee at Chandigarh University for the B.Arch program. I looked into this while applying, and it's a great benefit for students with good scores. The full academics fee for B.Arch is usually around Rs 1,30,000 per semester, so with a 40% scholarship, you'll only need to pay around Rs 78,000 per semester (approx.). This does not include hostel charges or other additional fees like exam or registration charges, which are separate.

Just make sure to apply early because scholarships are limited and offered on a first-come, first-served basis. You'll need to upload your NATA scorecard at the time of admission to claim the benefit. For me, this scholarship really helped bring down the cost while still getting quality education with good infrastructure and faculty support in the Architecture department.
