First of all, let me clarify that Chandigarh University Psychology students are not subject to any particular, stringent attendance policies or regulations.  I understand that attendance must be at least 75%. You will not be permitted to take exams even if you are an excellent student if you have poor attendance. Because they didn't take this seriously, I witnessed a few students struggle. Regular attendance at classes is therefore always preferable. It protects you from last-minute stress and keeps you up to date on assignments, studio sessions, and practical work—all of which are crucial for the fine arts. Because fine arts is more about practice than theory, regular attendance also enhances learning.

As far as I know, subjects which are taught in Psychology programme at Chandigarh University are: Biological Basis of Behaviour, Academic Writing in Psychology, Spirituality, Mythology and Yoga Psychology, Personality and Self Theories, and Psychology of Social Media. As students move ahead, they study Applied Social Psychology, Experimental Psychology, Music and Dance Psychology, Media Psychology, Consumer Psychology and Advertising, Communication Skill, and Design Thinking and Creativity for Innovation. The course also adds Basics of Statistics, Guidance and Counselling, Ethics in Psychology, Sports Psychology, Organisational Psychology, Artificial Intelligence and Psychology, Cognitive Psychology, Psychological First Aid, Educational Psychology, and Workplace Behaviour and Cultural Influences, etc. 

Every university has its own rules, and dress code is also one of them. Fine Arts students at Chandigarh University need to follow a set pattern for clothing. They have to wear a uniform on Wednesday. The uniform includes a white shirt, grey pants, red tie, and a navy blazer during winters. This dress is usually bought from inside the campus. On normal days, they do not need to wear the uniform but still must keep a formal and simple dressing. Casual dressing like jeans, shirts, or trousers is allowed, but shorts, patkas, and caps are not. The purpose of such rules is to maintain equality among students and keep a professional culture.

Fine Arts at Chandigarh University prepares students for v=careers in galleries and creative agencies by giving then practical exposure throughtout the course. Students regularly participte in art exhibitions, which builds curatorial experience that galleries value. Many graduates have secured positions where they assist the exhibition planning, manage collections, or create visual material for cultural organizations. On the creative agency side, Fine Arts students are trained in applied art, making them suitable for roles in concept development, digital campaigns and advertising design. Agencies prefer CU graduates because of their multidisciplinary approach, as they can handle both traditional sketches and digital artwork. The placement team ensures students meet with agencies that specialize in media, branding, and cultural projects. This balance of gallery-related and agency-based opportunities ensure Fine Arts graduates from CU are not limited but enjoy varied roles after completing their degree

Chandigarh University does focus on preparing Industrial Design students for interviews along with portfolio building. Students work on portfolios throughout their course including projects, sketches and prototypes which they use to present their skills to employers. The university also offers training sessions and mock interviews to help students improve their confidence and presentation. These sessions cover how to explain your work clearly and professionally. Guidance from faculty and industry experts helps students know what employers expect. This preparation is useful not only for campus placements but also for internships and freelance opportunities, as students learn both how to show their work and how to talk about it effectively.

A non-science background is not a barrier if you want to join Fashion Design at Chandigarh University. The admission criteria clearly state that students from any stream are eligible as long as they have scored 50% or above in their 12th board exams. This includes students who studied commerce, arts, or even vocational subjects. The programme is structured to start with the fundamentals of design, fabrics, and techniques, so there is no disadvantage for non-science students. In fact, many students from commerce or arts backgrounds pursue this course and do well because creativity, imagination, and interest in design are more important than your stream in school. So yes, you can definitely take admission if you have the required percentage.

The students of Fine Arts in Chandigarh University are getting an array of opportunities to unleash this side of creativity. The department gives inputs on different arts like painting, sculpture, graphic or applied arts. There is an off-classroom learning facility through studios to practice the art skill given to them. Workshops, seminars, and expert talk provide for the faculty and students to interact and share ideas. In addition to these, the students undertake a study of the history of art so that they can understand the very roots of creativity. Further, in the last semester, they will be getting hands-on training in galleries or studios. The students could participate in cultural events organized by the University-where they can present a performance or even display their work. All these 'ahoo' moments help Fine Arts students to grow and translate-theory into practice.
