MBA/PGDM

No other university can compete with Chandigarh University when it comes to MBA as the department offers very unique courses like Business Analytics, FinTech and Strategic HR, all collaborated with top companies like IBM and AON. I would also like to tell you that an MBA programme is not just about books; they're about real-world skills. And you know what the placements are really breaking records as students are placed in MNCs such as Amazon, Flipkart, Reliance, HDFC Bank, etc. with very high packages. CU also gives global exposure. It has programs with international universities where you can study abroad and learn new things. This opens up so many opportunities.The teachers at CU are very helpful. They guide you with everything, from studies to internships and career planning.

If you get admission for an MBA course in a private college through PGCET (Karnataka Post Graduate Common Entrance Test), the fees will be charged as per government-approved PGCET quota.

Generally:

• Government/University colleges: Around Rs 55,000 – Rs 70,000 per year.
• Private colleges (PGCET quota): Around Rs 1,00,000 – Rs 1,50,000 per year, depending on the college.
• Management quota (direct admission): Much higher, usually Rs 2.5 – Rs 5 Lacs per year or more, depending on reputation.

So, if you secure admission through PGCET counseling in a private college, you will pay the lower government-fixed fees (around Rs 1 – 1.5 Lacs per year), not the high management quota fee.
