Chandigarh University (CU)

Yes, you can definitely get a scholarship at Chandigarh University for the MBA programme based on your CAT score. When I was applying for an MBA at CU, I learned that they offer scholarships not only through CUCET but also based on national-level entrance exams like CAT, MAT, CMAT, and XAT. If you've scored 80 percentile or above in CAT, you're eligible for a 50% scholarship on the semester fee. A score between 75 and 79.99% gives you a 25% scholarship, and 70 to 74.99% gets you 10% off. However, these scholarships are offered to only 10% of the total intake in each course, so it's a bit competitive and offered on a first-come-first-serve basis. I found this a great opportunity to reduce the cost of the MBA program, especially if you've prepared well for CAT. Just remember to apply early and submit your scorecard during admission.

Yes, B.E. students at Chandigarh University can apply for the CUET-UG scholarship, and it's actually a great option if you've already given CUET. When I was applying, I found out that CU offers scholarships based on CUET score too—not just through their own CUCET exam. If you've scored above the 90th percentile, you can get up to 50% off on your semester fees. Even if your score is between 80 and 89, you're still eligible for a 15-30% scholarship, which really helps with the overall fee. This is open to all undergraduate programs, including B.E., so engineering aspirants like me can definitely benefit from it. Just make sure you upload your CUET scorecard during admission. Also, to keep the scholarship for the next semester, you'll need to maintain a CGPA above 7.5 and follow the academic rules. Overall, it's a big help and worth taking advantage of.

While no university can truly promise 100% placements, Chandigarh University comes very close with its strong placement support and industry connections. I've seen it firsthand—there are over 900+ top companies that visit the campus every year, including Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Deloitte, IBM, and Samsung. What makes CU stand out is the way it trains students for placements—right from the first year, there are personality development sessions, technical workshops, mock interviews, and resume-building help.

Students from top branches like CSE, MBA, and even core engineering often get multiple offers. The university also offers special pre-placement bootcamps and internship opportunities that convert into job offers. Many students have bagged high packages—some even up to ?50 LPA and above. While 100% placements can't be guaranteed, if you're serious about your preparation, CU provides every possible platform and support to help you land a good job. That's what impressed me most.

Yes, MBA students at Chandigarh University can definitely get scholarships through the CUCET exam. When I applied for my MBA, I also appeared for CUCET, and it turned out to be a great decision. The better you score in CUCET, the higher the scholarship you can get. For example, if you score really well—like above 90—you can get up to 100% scholarship on your tuition fees. Even if your score is slightly lower, like in the 70s or 80s, you can still get 30% to 50% off. It really helps reduce the overall fee burden, especially for a two-year programme like MBA. 

The process is simple—register for the test, appear for it, and if you qualify with a good score, the scholarship automatically applies during admission. I personally found this very helpful, and it makes CU more affordable without compromising on quality.

And you know that the department also has a training and placement coordinator, faculties, HODs of every department also put a lot of effort in training the students. The faculty members also motivate students every time and even support them.

Yes, it provides MBA in HR, Finance, and Marketing. Well, that's not it; there is more; mix and match as well. They have a fully loaded dual-specialization option.
