I recently applied to Chandigarh University, so I can share what I learned about the admission process. The university has its own entrance test called CUCET, which is required for most courses. For engineering (like B.E.), you need to have passed 12th with Physics, Maths, and one other Science subject. For BBA, BCA, and B.Com, 12th pass in any stream with at least 50% marks is usually enough. If you're going for design or architecture, subjects like Maths or drawing might be required, plus you'll need a valid NATA score for B.Arch.

Yes, CUCET is compulsory for Chandigarh University admissions. The university conducts the CUCET test for both scholarships and admissions to its courses. The test is conducted for courses in the fields of Engineering, Archcitecture, Law, Pharmacy, etc. Students with valid NEET/ NATA/ JEE scores can get admission into the BOptom, BPT, BArch courses without appearing for CUCET.
Chandigarh University (CU) admissions are generally based on CUCET scores for most of the courses. Students need to appear for the test or submit scores of any other accepted exams as stated by the university. Hence, in some cases, you may get admission in CU without CUCET. The CUCET test is also a scholarship test and if you want to get the scholarship benefits offered by the university based on CUCET scores, then you will have to appear for the exam.
