Is Chandigarh University the only private university from North India to achieve such a high position in the QS Asia University Rankings2026

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.

The cutoff changes every year and we are in 2025, so you should know the cutoff for NCHMCT JEE 2025. For NCHMCT JEE 2025, the closing rank for Chandigarh University is around 11195 for the B.Sc. (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. If we see older figures, the 2022 cutoff stayed close to 10201 as the opening rank in Round 1 and about 10382 as the closing rank in Round 2.

Being ranked as the No.1 private university in India for three years in a row gives students confidence that they're joining a university recognised for its academic quality, global research, and strong placements.

Chandigarh University is unique in that it consistently maintains an upward trend among Asian universities and has been ranked as the top private university in India for three consecutive years. Employer Reputation, which ranks first among private universities in India and 53rd in Asia, is one of the key indicators that the university scored highly on. Among Indian private universities, CU also achieved the second-best academic reputation. Chandigarh University has demonstrated its steady ascent in Asia's academic landscape with ongoing improvements in global parameters.
