Does Mangalmay Institute of Management and Technology accept JEE Main scores for BTech?

Hi.

Yes, a good JEE Main score does increase your chances of admission in emerging engineering fields at Chandigarh University (CU), though it is not mandatory.

 How JEE Main Helps at Chandigarh University

Higher Admission Priority

• CU accepts students through multiple routes:

  • CUCET (CU's own entrance test)

  • JEE Main score

  • Merit-based (Class 12 marks)

• A good JEE Main percentile gives you:

  • Faster seat allotment

  • Higher preference in competitive/specialized branches

Better Chances in Emerging / High-Demand Branches

For newer and popular programs like:

• CSE (AI & ML)

• CSE (Data Science)

• CSE (Cyber Security)

• Robotics & Automation

• IoT / Cloud Computing / DevOps

 Seats fill up quickly, so a strong JEE Main score improves your odds, especially if you apply early.

Scholarships & Fee Benefits

• CU offers scholarships based on JEE Main percentile

• Higher percentile = higher tuition fee waiver

• This is one of the biggest advantages of submitting a good JEE score

No Cutoff Barrier (Unlike NITs/IIITs)

• CU does not have rigid JEE cutoffs like government colleges

• Even a moderate JEE score can help if:

  • Your Class 12 marks are decent

  • Seats are available in the chosen specialization

Hi.

JEE Main (Phase‑2) percentile works for admission to Chandigarh University (CU) — especially for top B.Tech branches like CSE/IT:

1. JEE Main Is Not Mandatory

Chandigarh University does not strictly require a JEE Main Phase 2 percentile score just to be eligible for admission. The basic eligibility for B.Tech (including CSE/IT) is:

• 50% or above in Class 12 (PCM) (for general category). 

This means even if you don't have a JEE Main score, you can still get admission by appearing in the CUCET (Chandigarh University Common Entrance Test) — CU's own entrance pathway. 

2. How JEE Main Helps

If you do have a JEE Main score, CU may use it for:

• Better chances of branch preference (like CSE/IT)

• JEE‑based scholarships (especially for higher percentiles) 

Some unofficial past data and student discussions suggest:

• For popular branches like CSE/IT, a higher JEE Main percentile (e.g., ~85–90+) improves chances of selection on merit lists (if seats are competitive). 

• But students with lower percentiles have also reported getting seats (often with scholarships determined differently).

Hi.

1. Chandigarh University does not run JEE Main counselling

Chandigarh University has its own admission process (usually through its entrance exam CUCET, or merit-based criteria). It does not organise central JEE Main counselling like JoSAA or state counselling bodies do — those are separate from CU's process. 

2. CU Counselling (for its own entrance/merit)

• The CUCET counselling for Chandigarh University admissions is typically scheduled after the CU entrance exam results are declared.

• That means CU usually calls candidates for counselling once its own results and merit lists are out, not based on JEE Main results.

3. JEE Main Counselling Is Separate (e.g., JAC or JoSAA)

If you are talking about engineering admissions based on JEE Main, that is done through other counselling authorities — for example:

• JAC (Joint Admission Committee), Chandigarh counselling — for eligible engineering seats in Chandigarh area institutions — is based on JEE Main scores and runs its own schedule. 

• JoSAA counselling (for IITs/NITs/IIITs etc.) also happens after JEE Main/Advanced results.
