Students who have appeared for JEE

Main 2026 can submit their scores during the admission process to be considered for JEE-based scholarships, subject to eligibility and seat availability. Admission into these collaborated programs is not restricted exclusively to JEE candidates.

Students who have not appeared for JEE or do not qualify under the scholarship rank slabs can still secure admission through CUCET. Once admitted, all students receive the same industry-driven curriculum, certification opportunities, hands-on training, and placement support. Chandigarh University ensures that access to partnered programs remains inclusive while rewarding merit through scholarships, making these specialised B.E. programs accessible through multiple entry routes.

A good JEE Main score can positively support your application for B.E. emerging engineering fields such as CSE with IoT, Cyber Security, and AI & ML at Chandigarh University, mainly through scholarship eligibility and early counselling. However, it is important to note that admission itself is not restricted to high JEE scorers. Students can also gain entry through CUCET, which remains a primary admission route. CU does not impose strict JEE cutoffs for emerging branches, allowing a wide range of students to apply. Once admitted, students across all entry modes receive the same academic exposure, project opportunities, and placement support. Thus, while a strong JEE score is an advantage financially, it is not a prerequisite for admission.

Yes, JEE Main-qualified students are eligible for merit-based scholarships in specialised B.E. branches such as CSBS (TCS), AI (Microsoft), and Data Science (IBM). The scholarship scheme for 2026–27 awards 100% semester fee for AIR up to 25,000, 75% for 25,001–50,000, 50% for 50,001–75,000, and so on, applicable to limited seats (5% of programme intake). These scholarships provide financial support and academic recognition, enhancing opportunities in high-demand industry-aligned programs. Students without JEE can still access these branches through CUCET, but merit advantages are specifically tied to national-level performance.

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.

Chandigarh University does not explicitly reserve seperate seats exclusively for JEE Main candidates in specialised branches like Biotechnology, Food Technology, or Chemical Engineering. However, JEE qualified students recieve merit-based advantages, including priority counseling and eligibilty for schalorships. Admissions are offered based on overall merit, seat availability, and entrance route (JEE or CUCET), ensuring fairness. This approach maintains academic inclusivity while rewarding students who appear in national-level exams. Chandigarh University's transparent process balances accessibility and merit recognition, allowing JEE and non-JEE students equal opportunity to secure seats in emering and traditional engineering streams.

Chandigarh University does not declare strict JEE Main cutoffs for high-demand B.E. branches like CSE, IT, and AIML. Admission is flexible and not solely dependent on JEE rank. However, for scholarship eligibility, students with All India Ranks up to 1,25,000 may qualify for fee waivers under the JEE-based scholarship scheme. Higher-demand branches may fill faster during counselling, so early application is recommended. Students who do not fall within the scholarship rank range can still secure admission through CUCET. CU's admission strategy prioritises inclusivity and timely access rather than restrictive cutoffs, making competitive branches attainable for motivated students.
