    Joining Air Force is a dream of lots of Indian youth. Especially, as a career in a flying branch. After doing 12th, you may have many options for doing Airforce pilot. But ranked among the best college for airline and airport management in Punjab, Chandigarh University is the best for doing air force pilot. The university is project based and experimental learning. Advanced technologies & integration for premium placements.

    After +2 students can apply for it by giving NDA exams. Other than this, graduates from a well- respected can apply for it after giving CDS and UPSC exams.

    The university provides experiental learning and industrial based education under guidance of spectacular faculties.
    Moreover, it provides special training to candidates for preparation of UPSC and CDS exams.

    As per IAF is concerned, I don't want to give you false consolation as it is not that easy to join Indian Air Force as a Pilot. There are four ways through which candidates can become an Indian Air Force (IAF), the pilot. National Defence Academy (NDA), Combined Defence Services Exam (CDSE), NCC entry and Short Service Commission Entry (SSC) are the courses that are the only path to get into IAF as a Flying Officer.
    Now if you don't get cleared NDA after 12th, you can try CDSE but for that, you need to be graduate. There is no boundation of a particular bachelor's degree, so any course technical preferably can be chosen.

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.

(Hons.) Hotel and Hospitality Management course. This number comes from the latest available round-wise data and gives a basic idea of the expected range.
