Chandigarh University (CU) Answered Questions

Hi.No — JEE Main is not mandatory for taking admission in CU. Most official sources state that admission is based on CUCET (or class 12 marks in some cases), not on JEE. CU may accept scores from national‑level exams (including JEE Main) or strong class 12 results in some cases — but primarily in the context of scholarships or sometimes as an alternate admission pathway. For example, candidates with very high 10+2 marks (reportedly > 90%) may get exemption from CUCET — in which case admission may proceed via merit rather than entrance test.

Hi.Because industry-collaborated programs are just specialised versions of CU's engineering offerings:Admission to them is via CUCET, same as regular B.E./B.Tech courses.A JEE Main score alone — without appearing in (or qualifying) CUCET — is not enough to guarantee admission (according to official policy as of 2025).Using JEE Main may help for scholarship eligibility or possibly as a merit-consideration — but admission seat allotment appears based on CUCET.
