    Hi Akhil,
    Yes you should definitely go for CAT examination but make sure that you score minimum of 50% in your graduation. You need to decide as to which course you want to go for PGDM or MS and also it would be appreciated if you provide us with more details regarding your background or your field of interest to guide you more properly.

    Dear Akhil, You need 50% in graduation to appear for CAT. You need to have 90 plus percentile for admission to a good IIM. In case, you fail to get this percentile, try for admission in private universities like Lovely, Manipal, VIT, where other than the CAT/ MAT/ XAT tests they offer you admission simply on GDPI or their own tests too. All these are world-class universities with modern infrastructure, good placements and studies congenial environment. Some of them even offer good scholarships. Check their websites for more details. Good luck.

    It's your choice, you might go for CAT, but most of the IIMS see academic records, for the top 3 IIMS. You have to score 90/90/80, in your class 10th, class 12th and B.Tech respectively. But, for safe side, you have to score at least 99 percentile.

    Yes, you may attempt it. But, you may get top ranked colleges, as they look for decent and consistent academic records. Instead, try to get some work experience, and then go for MBA. This would nullify the academic criteria to some extent.

Hi...

I need to clarify first: are you asking about admission to Chandigarh University for B.Tech/B.E, or admission to a medical/paramedical course (like B.Sc Nursing, MBBS, BPT, etc.)

The marks required and exam rules differ a lot depending on the stream.

Chandigarh University follows a holistic admission approach, giving importance to both Class 12 performance and JEE Main scores, depending on the route chosen. For JEE-qualified students, the JEE score primarily determines merit-based scholarships and priority counseling, while Class 12 marks ensure eligibility verification. For students not appearing in JEE, Class 12 performance, particularly in PCM subjects, becomes the primary eligibility criterion, alongside CUCET scores for CSE programs. This dual-focus system allows students with strong 12th marks but no JEE score to secure admission, while rewarding JEE participants with merit a

Yes, for B.E. admission at Chandigarh University, students must meet the basic eligibility criteria of Class 12, irrespective of their JEE score. Generally, candidates should have passed 10+2 with Physics and Mathematics as compulsory subjects, along with one additional relevant subject. The minimum percentage requirement is as per regulatory norms and may vary slightly by program, but JEE scores alone do not override academic eligibility. Even for students applying with JEE Main 2026 ranks for scholarship consideration, meeting the 12th standard eligibility is mandatory. CU maintains this balance to ensure academic readiness while kee
