Yes, the Architecture programme at Chandigarh University is considered quite affordable compared to other private universities.The semester fee for B.Arch is around Rs1,11,000 and for M.Arch it's Rs 57,000, which many students feel is reasonable given the modern labs, design studios, and software training included.CU offers a variety of scholarships including merit-based, national-level entrance exam scholarships like eligible students. Personally, I think the scholarships make the course very accessible, especially for hardworking students, and combined with the hands-on training and industry exposure, rhe fees feels justified for the value you get in learning and career opportunities.

At Chandigarh University, the Bachelor of Architecture is a five-year course, designed to give students enough time to explore architecture fully. The programme balances theory, practical work, and creative projects, so you get to learn everything from design basics to advanced architecture techniques. You also get hands-on experience in studios, workshops, and live projects, which really helps in understanding how architecture works in the real world. If someone wants to go deeper, the Master of Architecture (M.Arch) is available for two years, focusing on specialization. Five years might sound long, but it’s perfect for building confidence, developing a strong portfolio, and learning skills that will help you in future jobs or projects.
