Admission
Chandigarh University (CU) Admission Overview 2025
For the academic year 2025, admission to all undergraduate (UG) and postgraduate (PG) programs at Chandigarh University will primarily be conducted through the Chandigarh University Common Entrance Test (CUCET). The university holds admissions in two phases each year.
While CUCET is the main route for entry, CU also considers scores from various national-level entrance tests—such as JEE Main, NATA, CAT, MAT, XAT, and others—for scholarship purposes. Whether these scores are valid for direct admission must be confirmed with the university’s admission office, as the official website does not provide explicit details on this point.
The university offers over 200 programs across disciplines like Engineering, Management, Commerce, Law, and more at the UG, PG, and doctoral levels. CU also runs several industry-integrated programs, including specialized MBA and Computer Science & Engineering courses in collaboration with IBM, UpGrad, Virtusa, SHRM, and others.
