Panjab University

Overview

Panjab University (PU) is a collegiate public state university located in Chandigarh, India. Funded through both State and Union governments, it is considered a state university. It traces its origins to the University of the Punjab in Lahore, which was founded in 1882. After the partition of India, the university was established on 1 October 1947, and called East Punjab University. Initially headquartered at a cantonment in Solan with teaching departments scattered across northern India, it later relocated to a newly built self-contained campus in sector 14, Chandigarh, and was renamed Panjab University. It is accredited by NAAC A++ grade. It is considered the No. 1 university in Punjab and Haryana.
