Central University of Punjab - [CUP]: 5 answered questions

What is the possibility of getting an M.Sc. in physics seat in Central University of Rajasthan, Karnataka and Punjab, if I am securing 33 marks in the CUCET 2018?

Rina Majumder

21 Dec 21

The chances are less but it does not mean that you cannot get admission. Securing a seat in CURAJ with 33 marks is difficult but you can easily get that in Central University of Punjab (CUPB).

During the first, second and third rounds of counseling, you may or may not get seats but after that the university conducts an open counseling and spot admission.

Every year, seats remain vacant in almost each and every course in CUPB. You may get a seat in the third round of counseling or after that in open counseling.

How is the girl’s hostel facility at the Central University of Punjab? What are the rules of the hostel?

Rina Majumder

11 Apr 23

Central University of Punjab has recently moved to a new permanent campus, which has cabins constructed at every free space possible, such as the sports hall and parking areas. Doctoral students are given a single-seated room (cabin) until the year 2016, while master's students are given a room on a sharing basis.

The rules for the hostel are relatively lenient now compared to the past. Girls are allowed to study in the library even after midnight, but they are not permitted to roam around the campus after dinner. There is no nightlife available on campus, but students can use the library or stay in their rooms to study. The hostels and campus offer Wi-Fi, RO water, and geysers. However, air conditioning or ducting in the rooms is not possible since the cabins are temporary, portable structures. During the summer, the temperature can reach up to 46 degrees Celsius, making the rooms feel like a furnace unless a cooler is used.

Overall, the facilities are good enough to survive, but they are not enough to have a great time. If you cannot compromise on hostel facilities, it is recommended that you look for another university since Bathinda is not a very developed or urbanized city, but more like a town.

How much mark is required to get a seat at the University of Central Punjab and University of Rajasthan in M.Sc physics for CUCET 2018?

Deepika Chauhan

21 Dec 21

It cannot be exactly said how much marks you need to get admission in Central University of Punjab (CUPB) or Central University of Rajasthan (CURAJ).

You should at least have a score of 50% marks if you are from the Unreserved category. It is not that difficult.

The paper contains two sections in which the first section contains 25% questions for general awareness and the second section contains subject matter with 75% weightage.

Almost every year some seats always stay vacant in CUP-B so try scoring more than 45% to secure a seat in this institution.
