The hostels at Chandigarh University are well-furnished and thoughtfully equipped to support student life. Students get cozy beds, study desks, fast Wi-Fi and well-maintained rooms. The hostel mess serves fresh food and the mess time table is also so perfect  and that too on rotation basis and every type of food is avaliable. Safety is a top priority, with 24/7 security. Apart from essentials, hostels have well-furnished common rooms, separate TV rooms, and dedicated reading spaces with newspapers and magazines. Fitness freaks get a proper gym with trainers. There are night canteens, tuck shops, and even a salon for girls. Visitors also have separate guest rooms with clean bathrooms.

Trust me, there is no difference at all, in fact when you see the campus with your own eyes, it seems more beautiful and amazing as shown on the website. The university is also divided into North Campus, South Campus, GGS Campus and Adesh Campus.The infrastructure is very modern, buildings are new and stylish. Each block has an abundant department, fully air-conditioned classrooms and high-tech labs with upgraded machines and technology and each department also has a well-equipped library. From sports courts to fitness centers, from cafes to food outlets, the campus has everything. The university also encourages extracurricular activities with multiple student-run clubs for different interests, ensuring that every student gets a chance to explore their passion.

Yes, MBA students at Chandigarh University can definitely get scholarships through the CUCET exam. When I applied for my MBA, I also appeared for CUCET, and it turned out to be a great decision. The better you score in CUCET, the higher the scholarship you can get. For example, if you score really well—like above 90—you can get up to 100% scholarship on your tuition fees. Even if your score is slightly lower, like in the 70s or 80s, you can still get 30% to 50% off. It really helps reduce the overall fee burden, especially for a two-year programme like MBA. 

The process is simple—register for the test, appear for it, and if you qualify with a good score, the scholarship automatically applies during admission. I personally found this very helpful, and it makes CU more affordable without compromising on quality.

Yes, Chandigarh University offers admission in some courses and programs without an entrance test. If you want to do a Bachelor of Engineering (B.E.), you need to give CUCET. The same goes for MBA and special MBA programs. Law programs like BA+LLB. BBA+LLB and B.Com+LLB also need CUCET. If you want to do pharmacy courses like Phram D, B Pharmacy, or M. Pharmacy in different specializations, then a test is needed. MBA and special MCA programs also need it. Even for LLM, you must give the test. These are the main programs where the entrance test is mandatory.
For other courses, you don't need to give any test. You can take admission directly. This makes the university a great choice for many students but if you want scholarships, then you can give CUCET.
