    CGC and CU basically have same management but it differs in terms of fee structure as well as faculty. The fee structure of CU is high in comparison to CGC. CU sure has scholarship opportunities but after the scholarship, fees will be the same as CGC so not much of a difference. As far as placement is concerned, they both conduct their placement drives at the same time and provide similar packages. The faculty of CU is amazing as well. However, the location of both of them might create a difference in choice. CU is accepted for their placements in North Bharat. Well, practiced employees and a much orientating approach cause you to a fa

    Both universities have evolved significantly in recent years, but Chandigarh University, in my opinion, has set several landmarks. Here are a few reasons why- Chandigarh Institution is a private Indian university in Mohali, Punjab, India, which is close to Chandigarh. The university was founded in 2012 by the Punjab State Legislature and is recognised by the University Grants Commission under Section 2 of the UGC ACT 1956, with the power to issue degrees.

    Chandigarh university is a UGC NAAC A+ University, infrastructure and teaching staff the Placement Scenario in CU is pretty good. CU is better than CGC Landran in terms of infrastructure, facilities and courses. Chandigarh University is much more better as it is providing good facilities to their students. They make sure that proper record is maintained of every individual student so that students performance can be improved. CU is much better in this case. From large playgrounds to mammoth building, beautiful gardens and lawns and long roads It will make your campus experience a very good one. The campus is just awesome and beautiful.

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.

Yes, that's one of the main reasons. Chandigarh university's consistent performance in the QS Asia University Rankings has made it a popular choice among students. 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. These rankings reflect real things students care about like how Well graduates are placed (employer reputation), how strong the teaching and research are (academic reputation), and how connected the university is globally (international research network).
