I got 90.7 percentile score in JEE Mains 2019, can I get admission in Cummins College CS?

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.

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.

Hi.

Yes, you can get a scholarship at Chandigarh University (CU) if you have a good JEE Main score, even if that score is from Phase 1 of JEE Main. 

 1) Merit Scholarship Based on JEE Main Rank

Chandigarh University offers scholarships specifically for engineering students based on their JEE Main All India Rank (AIR) — this is separate from CU's own entrance test (CUCET). 

Typical Scholarship Slabs for B.Tech (Engineering)

 These scholarships are automatically available if you submit your JEE Main score at the time of admission.

 2) Phase of JEE Main Doesn't Matter

• CU doesn't differentiate Phase 1 vs. Phase 2 JEE Main results — what matters is your final AIR or percentile from JEE Main.

• So yes, a good score from Phase 1 is completely valid for scholarship eligibility so long as your final submitted result is strong.

 3) Scholarship Isn't Guaranteed Just by Score Alone

To actually receive and continue the scholarship, you typically must:

 Submit your JEE Main score during admission
 Meet eligibility criteria (like board marks and course requirements)
 Maintain a minimum GPA/CGA during the course (e.g., 7.5 CGPA or equivalent) — otherwise the scholarship might be discontinued.

Hi.

Yes, you can absolutely apply to Chandigarh University (CU) right after your JEE Main Phase 1 result. 

You do not need to wait for Phase 2.

 How It Works at Chandigarh University

 Admission After Phase 1

• CU allows applications as soon as you have a valid JEE Main score

• Phase 1 score is fully accepted for:

  • Admission consideration

  • Branch allotment

  • Scholarship evaluation

 Option to Update Later

• If you appear for JEE Main Phase 2 and score better:

  • You can update/upload your improved score

  • CU will then consider your best percentile/AIR

 Benefits of Applying Early (After Phase 1)

 Higher chance of getting top branches (CSE, AI, DS, Cyber, etc.)
 Better availability of JEE-based scholarships (limited seats)
 Early seat confirmation and flexibility
You stay safe even if Phase 2 doesn't improve much
