Chandrasekaran has been charged with breaking and entering in the nighttime, a felony that carries a maximum sentence of twenty years in jail.
His trial will take place after the spring semester begins.
Chandrasekaran also confirmed that he has been the subject of an Administrative Board action, though the results of Ad Board hearings are confidential.
Chandrasekaran said he does not yet have a lawyer, but he does not see his situation as desperate.
"I'm not particularly worried," he said.
