    All branches are equally good and has equal opportunities. what matters is your interest, explore it and then shortlist a few then I will help you further
    sorry to say but with these marks you mentioned it will be difficult to get a good college. I suggest you to work hard and get a good JEE score as well as apply for improvement in boards.

    Please be very careful while choosing your branch and take care of the below points:
    1. Don't take a branch that is a derivative of some other beach, like Industrial engineering, Instrumentation, Biotech, Automobile or Aeronautical. Most of the Indian companies are service-based, so none of them look for such skill set.
    2. Choose from Mechanical, Civil, Electronics, CS, IS but not electrical and chemical, again you won't find jobs, in electrical and the subjects taught are tough too.
    3. Go through the curriculum of all the above-mentioned branch, relate them to the subjects you studied in class 11th and 12th. Try to figure out what all yo

Heyyy riya
Absolutely! Having a humanities background is no barrier to pursuing Fine Arts at Chandigarh University.

The programme welcomes students from all streams, including humanities, as long as they meet the minimum requirement of 50% marks in their 12th exams. Many humanities students find the programme a natural extension of their academic interests, as the curriculum often connects with cultural, historical, and social themes. For example, a student who studied history might bring unique perspectives into courses like painting or applied arts.

The university values creativity and passion over specific subjects studied in school.

Yes, you can get admission in Fine Arts at Chandigarh University even if you did not study Maths in 12th. For this course, subject choice in school does not matter much.
