No, unfortunately, qualifying PU CET (PG) is mandatory for admission to M.Sc. programs offered directly by Panjab University, Chandigarh.  This applies even if you filled out a general application form for PU.

However, there are still a few options to explore for admission to M.Sc. programs:

1. PU Affiliated Colleges: Panjab University is affiliated with numerous colleges across the region. These colleges offer their own M.Sc. programs with separate admission processes. You might be eligible for these programs based on your graduation marks (though individual colleges might have entrance exams). Research affiliated colleges offering your desired M.Sc. program and check their admission criteria on their websites.

2. Other Universities: Consider applying to other universities offering M.Sc. programs. Many universities conduct their own entrance exams, and some might accept your marks for direct admission. Research universities that match your interests and explore their admission processes.
