Is Phase 2 JEE Main percentile required for top branches at Chandigarh University?

<p>No, Phase 2 JEE Main percentile is not strictly required for admission to top B.E. branches at Chandigarh University. The university considers the best percentile from either Phase 1 or Phase 2 for admission, merit-based scholarships, and counseling priority. This means that if a student performs well in Phase 1, that score alone can be used to secure admission in high-demand branches like CSE, AI, Data Science, Cyber Security, IT, and other specialised programs. However, students who attempt Phase 2 and improve their percentile can update their application to maximize merit recognition, scholarship eligibility, and priority in seat allocation. Chandigarh University's system ensures flexibility, fairness, and professional handling of all JEE Main scores, allowing top-performing students to benefit while maintaining equal access for other eligible candidates through CUCET or direct eligibility.</p>

<p>No, &nbsp;Phase 2 JEE Main percentile is not mandatory&nbsp;to secure admission into&nbsp;top B.E. branches&nbsp;at Chandigarh University. Admission to popular programs such as CSE and its specialisations is available through&nbsp;CUCET, irrespective of JEE performance. Phase 2 JEE scores are mainly relevant for students seeking&nbsp;higher scholarship benefits&nbsp;based on improved All India Rank. CU does not impose rigid JEE cutoffs for branch allocation. Instead, it follows a merit-based yet inclusive admission framework that allows capable students from different academic backgrounds to apply. Students who perform better in Phase 2 can update their scores for scholarship reassessment, but those who do not appear are not restricted from admission. This balanced approach ensures access without unnecessary pressure.</p>

<p>Hi.</p><p data-start="0" data-end="154">JEE Main (Phase‑2) percentile works for admission to Chandigarh University (CU) — especially for top B.Tech branches like CSE/IT:</p><h3 data-start="156" data-end="198">1.
