Chandigarh University has been awarded as the Best Student-Friendly University, which indeed it is. It is Asia's fastest-growing private university which has achieved a lot in a short period of time. Talking about my personal experience, the university is entirely residential for students including all facilities and offers a wide range of exposure. I would list down few viewpoints which would answer why you should join Chandigarh university.
1. Academics: CU follows industry-oriented course curriculum based on the input of industry experts. The faculties are experienced which focuses on enhancing project-based and experiential learning. They also encourage students to involve in research learning.
2. Campus life: Along with academics, students can actively participate in the various events organised in the campus like Tech Events, Youth Summits, Sports& Adventure etc. and explore their talent and interests. Live in concerts including famous Bollywood celebrities add immense enjoyment to the college life.
3. Global Exposure: CU welcomes students from across India and from more than 37 countries. The university has signed MOUs with many international institutions which provide students to avail for international semester exchange programs and international internship programs providing global exposure and variability in their course.
4. Fee Structure: CU offers an affordable fee structure than many other private engineering colleges along with various scholarship programs like COVID19 Warrior Scheme, merit-based, CUCET based, Wards of Defence personnel etc. The university also aids students financially by providing educational loans. CU also offers 6.5 times ROI, highest in the region and comparable to IITs, IIMs and NITs.

Best colleges for MBA are IIM, FMS, JBIMS, PUMBA, DMS IIT etc. Most of the top b school require CAT/ CMAT/GMAT / MH-CET score but in this pandemic situation they are accepeting MAT score also and many school are giving admission on basis of graduation marks and own entrance test. For shortlisting b school you can refer nirf b school and other rankings. First you choose which type of MBA you want then short list b school. Brand value of b school is crucial. In this situation distance MBA from colleges like Symbosis, NMJMS, IGNOU, KUK, Pondicherry university is also a better option than going from any b school. Actually it is also about ROI. If one take admission in tier 3 b school whose fees is equal to average placement and the college provide decent exposure to business skills and quality teaching then something is better than nothing and one can ho for it. Best wishes.

PIBM accepts CAT, XAT,CMAT, MAT, MH-CET scores. In case if the student has scored less than the accepted score, he or she can appear for PIBM's internal assessment test PMAT. The selection procedure at PIBM pays attention to certain factors like previous academic records, aptitude test, interviews, groups discussion, and work experience. It helps the institute to understand the current level of a student on these parameters, who is taking the admission. So, if you haven't scored good marks in CAT but want to take admission then you can still go ahead with the application process and the college will check your capabilities during the selection process.
