Colleges in Chandigarh

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. 

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.
