if i get 90+ score in boards and 40-50 marks in entrance will i be able to get a seat in PU chandigarh campus?
Based on your academic performance—scoring above 90% in your Class 12 board exams and obtaining 40–50 marks in the entrance exam—your chances of securing admission to Panjab University (PU) Chandigarh depend on several factors, including the specific course you're interested in, the competitiveness of that course, and the category under which you're applying.
For undergraduate programs like B.Sc. (Hons.) and B.Pharm, PU considers both board exam marks and entrance exam scores. The typical weightage is 25% for Class 12 marks and 75% for the entrance exam (PU-CET UG).
The minimum qualifying marks in the entrance exam are for General Category : 15% of total marks, for SC/ST/PwD/BC Categories : 10% of total marks
Assuming the entrance exam is out of 120 marks, this translates to:
-
General Category : 18 marks
-
Reserved Categories : 12 marks
With a score of 40–50 in the entrance exam, you surpass the minimum qualifying marks. However, admission is competitive, and higher scores improve your chances.
Admission cutoffs vary by course and year. For instance, in previous years, the cutoff for B.Pharm was higher due to limited seats and high demand. Conversely, some B.Sc. programs may have lower cutoffs.
I would suggest that you should keep checking for updates about the cut offs .
If you have scored 90% or more in your Class 12 boards and get around 40–50 marks in the PU CET entrance exam, getting a seat in Panjab University (PU) Chandigarh main campus might be difficult for highly competitive courses like B.Sc. (Hons.) or B.Pharmacy. PU gives more weight to the entrance exam (75%) and only 25% to board marks. Since your entrance score is on the lower side, your chances depend on the course, cut-off trends, and your category. You may still get a seat in less competitive courses or in later counselling rounds.
