Hi.

Yes, if you are qualified under Chandigarh University (CU), and you meet the eligibility criteria, you can apply for specialised CSE‑branches like Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning (AI & ML), Data Science, or Cyber Security — even as a “JEE‑qualified” (or JEE‑appeared) student. But a few caveats apply.

What CU offers — these specialisations exist

CU lists B.E. / B.Tech (Hons) programmes in CSE with specialisations in AI & ML, Data Science, Cyber Security (among others) under its “specialized‑programs / IBM‑collaborated courses.” 

On their website, CU's eligibility criteria for these specialisations require 10+2 with Physics and Mathematics (plus one of Chemistry / CS / IT / Biology / related) at specified aggregate — irrespective of whether admissions are via CUCET or JEE.
