Data Science

Yes, JEE-qualified students can apply for B.E. programs in Artificial Intelligence, Data Science, and Cyber Security at Chandigarh University. CU allows students to use their JEE Main 2026 scores during the admission process, particularly for scholarship consideration and early counselling advantages. These emerging and high-demand specialisations fall under Computer Science Engineering and are open to students applying through both JEE Main and CUCET routes. A good JEE rank can help students secure fee-based scholarships under CU's structured JEE scholarship scheme, while admission eligibility remains flexible. Even students who do not meet the JEE scholarship rank criteria can still pursue these advanced programs through CUCET. Chandigarh University ensures uniform academic standards, industry exposure, and placement support across all specialisations, making AI, Data Science, and Cyber Security accessible to both JEE-qualified and non-JEE students alike.

A JEE Main score supports admission to specialised CSE branches at Chandigarh University. Candidates with high scores are rewarded with merit-based scholarships, preferential counseling, and preferred seat distribution for the competitive programs of Cyber Security, Cloud Computing, and Data Science. While admission in CUCET is available to non-JEE applicants, those gaining an upper hand and professional advantage through JEE qualifications must maximize the benefits in monetary terms and branch selection. The university's industry-aligned syllabus and structured environment guarantee strong academic and career prospects for both JEE and non-JEE applicants.

Hi.

For admission to the B.Tech in Artificial Intelligence and Data Science at Dr. D.Y. Patil Institute of Technology (Pimpri, Pune) via JEE Main under the EWS category, there isn't a single fixed “marks” requirement — instead, admission is based on JEE Main All‑India ranks or equivalent percentile ranks used in centralized counseling (MHT‑CET CAP for Maharashtra). 

Recent Cutoff Trends for AI & Data Science

Here are indicative closing ranks from recent counselling rounds (All‑India quota) for the Artificial Intelligence & Data Science branch:

2025 CAP/MHT‑CET JEE Cutoff (rank)
– Closing rank around ~13,000–14,000 for general seats in AI & Data Science.2024 JEE Main All‑India Cutoff (closing rank)
– AI & Data Science closing ranks around ~133,000 — but this applies to all‑India quota picks outside state CAP, which often fills seats later and with higher ranks.

Hi.

Eligibility for BCA

Most colleges require 10+2 with any stream: Science (PCB/PCM), Commerce, or Arts.

Some colleges prefer Maths at 10+2, but it is not strictly mandatory in many universities for BCA.

Since you have PCB + Computer Science at 10+2, many universities will allow BCA admission, because you have a foundation in computers.

 B.Sc in Data Science

Eligibility:

Many universities require 10+2 with Maths because data Science involves statistics, algorithms, and computational concepts.

Since your 10+2 subjects are PCB + Computer Science, you might face issues in some universities that strictly require Maths.

However, some universities offer foundation or bridge courses in Mathematics for students without Maths in 10+2 — these can make you eligible for B.Sc Data Science.
