Students today are in a dilemma between uncertainty and urgency concerning the competitive academic world. Final examination results have delayed, college options seem to close, and financial worries are at an all-time high. But here comes good news: many doors are closing, yet one is still wide open. It is Chandigarh University, which is among the youngest and ambitious institutions of India. It gives a second chance by the unique entrance exam, CUCET.

The exam is not only an entrance exam but an opportunity to enter a globally ranked university with scholarship support up to 100 percent, even at this time of admission.

What is CUCET?

Chandigarh University Common Entrance Test (CUCET) is a national-level examination conducted for admission into various undergraduate and postgraduate programs at Chandigarh University. It serves as an entrance exam for certain professional courses, where it performs a dual function:

  1. Admission Assessment: Tests a student's suitability for admission to key programs.
  2. Scholarship Eligibility: Merit-based assessment for the allocation of scholarships up to 100%.

Programs Where CUCET is Compulsory

CUCET is compulsory for the following programs:

  • Engineering: Bachelor of Engineering (B.E.)
  • Management: MBA & Specialised MBA Programs
  • Law: Integrated Programs (BA+LLB, BBA+LLB, B.Com+LLB)
  • Pharmacy: Pharm.D., B. Pharmacy, and Master of Pharmacy (Pharmacology, Pharmaceutics, Industrial Pharmacy, Pharmaceutical Chemistry)
  • Computer Applications: Master of Computer Applications (MCA) and Specialised MCA Programs
  • Law: Master of Law (LLM)

According to these programs, every student is encouraged to take the CUCET as a qualification for admission.

Benefits of CUCET: One Exam, Multiple Advantages

CUCET has rewards for both academic excellence and financial need. Here are the primary advantages of appearing for CUCET:

  1. Get Access to Globally Ranked Education

Through the CUCET, students gain entry to study at Chandigarh University, which is ranked among the top institutions in India in several national and international rankings, including the NIRF and QS.

  1. Considerable Financial Support

With merit-based scholarships, students can alleviate financial burdens by up to 100%.

  1. Goodifier to Your Resume, Getting Recognised

A scholarship serves as a "flag" for one's hard work and dedication; hence, it can be a valuable addition when pursuing placements and other business ventures.

  1. More Attempts for Better Results

The fact that a student is permitted to appear twice per phase and also apply in more than one phase (CUCET - I and CUCET - II) enhances their chances of qualifying for an upper scholarship bracket.

CUCET 2025 Phase II Scholarship Slabs

The second phase of the 2025 CUCET is now live and will continue until the end of the admission cycle. The scholarship slabs based on your score in CUCET are:
