Yes, you can take admission in Chandigarh University for CSE. The process is too easy. The first thing is checking your eligibility, which generally requires completing 12th with physics, chemistry, and mathematics and having at least around 60% marks. Once that part is clear, you can apply through their entrance test (CUCET). What's good is that CU offers several specializations in CSE, like AI, cyber security, data science, etc., so you can pick what interests you the most. If you're unsure, the best way is to call their admission helpline or even visit the campus. You'll also get details about hostels, scholarships, and other facilities directly when you go.

I'd say Chandigarh University is affordable compared to many private universities in India. The fee structure is reasonable, and the good part is that they have a lot of scholarship options. Through CUCET, which doubles as an entrance and scholarship test, you can actually get up to 100% tuition fee waiver depending on your score. Apart from that, there are merit-based scholarships for students with high marks in 12th, scholarships for JEE or CAT rank holders, as well as support for defence backgrounds and sports achievers. So if you plan smartly and apply for these, your overall cost can come down a lot. That's why many students find CU to be a budget-friendly option for higher studies.
