Chandigarh University — University School of Business (MBA), Mohali

Chandigarh University’s MBA door is the textbook private-university model done transparently: one own test, CUCET, that doubles as the scholarship instrument, and a published grid that tells you to the rupee what your score saves. Where this campus earns its place in our verified map is that the arithmetic is public — a 90.01-plus CUCET score wipes the semester fee entirely, and every lower slab is printed.

What should an applicant plan for?

The bar is a bachelor’s degree at 50%, and the route is three steps: sign up, book a CUCET slot, sit the test. The result drives two things at once — admission and the scholarship slab. We verified the MBA Business Analytics programme run in association with IBM: Rs 1,89,500 per semester across two years, with examination, security and uniform charges printed alongside. Phase I of the CUCET 2026 grid is marked closed on the page; Phase II runs the same top slab (100% scholarship at 90.01-100) with thinner discounts below it — so a strong early score is literally worth more.

The honesty discipline matters more here than at most campuses, because this university advertises hard. Its homepage claims 10,000+ offers in batch 2024-25 and a Rs 1.7 crore international package; we opened no audited MBA placement report, so those numbers sit on our page labelled as claims. The fee grid, by contrast, is published and checkable — build your decision on the number you can verify. The tricity guide places this door beside the government university twenty minutes away.

One caution we print everywhere: CUCET’s own grid is the entire discount system. Anyone offering a Chandigarh University ‘package seat’ priced differently from what your CUCET score earns on the published grid is inventing the difference.
