Vice Chancellor's Message
The annual Handbook of Information of Panjab University is the first
source of information for new students enrolling at the Campus. I sought a copy
of such a handbook fifty years ago as I enrolled in Physics Honours School in
1968. I am not hesitant to confess that I did not know the importance and
uniqueness of Honours School System approved by the governing bodies of PU
fifty years earlier in 1918 at Lahore. The teachers on behalf of the University in
several subjects were appointed for the first time as the Honours School System
got introduced in different disciplines of Science and Humanities in 1919. The
University departments in different subjects came into being as inter-collegiate
entities, which were headed either by University teachers or senior faculty
members drawn from Government College along with other affiliated colleges at
Lahore. A small number of students in a given subject from different colleges in
Lahore were enticed to enroll at a PU Honours School and these motivated
students stayed on to get their master's degree from their chosen Honours
School. Each of these students had to complete a piece of research to become
eligible for the coveted M.Sc. (Honours School) degree. The University
departments also enrolled students for the traditional two years Master's
programmes, which were not very different from the present day M.A./M.Sc.
programmes at PU Campus and its PG affiliated Colleges. The postgraduate
courses in Engineering, Pharmacy, Dentistry, Medical, etc. were typically
offered only by affiliated colleges. In a sense, the PU campus as we see it today
did not exist at Lahore, however, as a notion, it completes its centenary this year.
The present University Departments have already started to plan for the
commemoration of centenary year of campus based academic activities.
Coincidently, 2019 is also going to be the birth centenary year of (late) Prof. Ram
Chand Paul, FNA, FASc, FNASc, FRSc, an eminent chemist and the Vice
Chancellor, PU having had the longest tenure (1974-84). We have approached
Government of India for the release of a postal stamp to commemorate the birth
centenary of Prof. Ram Chand Paul, and we expect it to happen next year.
The students enrolling at the Campus this year would have
opportunities to experience a large variety of academic events during next two
years. Numerous iconic alumni of PU along with the well-wishers of PU from
within India and abroad would get invited for special academic occasions. The
universities all across the globe, with whom PU have signed MoUs in recent
years would be enticed to hold bilateral meetings in different subjects as a part of
centenary year commemoration. It would indeed be an exciting period for the
PU students, staff, alumni, civic society as well as communities from partner
institutes of PU in Chandigarh Region Innovation and Knowledge Cluster
(CRIKC) and Universities-National Research Lab (U-NRL) Hub (North West).
Handbook of Information-2018, like previous years, provides details on
Hon'ble Shri M. Venkaiah Naidu, Vice President of India and
various courses of study as well as the profile of the key facilities available. I
would encourage you to visit our website to learn more about our illustrious Chancellor, Panjab University, Chandigarh
history, teaching and research strengths, academic networks and our vibrant,
cosmopolitan campus.
I look forward to welcome you to our University.

Brief History and Present Infrastructure
One of the oldest Universities in India, the Panjab University (PU) initiated at Lahore in 1882, has a long tradition of pursuing
excellence in teaching and research in science and technology, humanities, social sciences, performing arts and sports. The
University supports excellence and innovation in academic programmes, promotes excellence in research, scholarship and
teaching. The University is committed to attract and support the best students and faculty, who excel at teaching and research.
In independent India, Panjab University with its Campus at Chandigarh and nearly two hundred colleges in Punjab state and
Chandigarh U.T., has served various societal needs with distinction. The glorious traditions of the University established
during the period of more than 133 years of its long service to the nation since its inception are a source of inspiration for the
present generation of faculty members and students. By virtue of its history, experience, achievements and philosophy, the
Panjab University has a national character and it enjoys an international stature drawing both faculty and students from all
over the country and different parts of the globe. Its faculty includes some of the most distinguished scientists and academicians.
It continues to attract celebrated scholars at the campus. Over the years, the reputation of the Panjab University has grown
to emerge as an institution at the pinnacle in innovative teaching, research and community outreach.
In Chandigarh, the newly built capital of Punjab, a beautiful red sandstone campus was designed for the Panjab University by
Pierre Jeanneret under the general guidance of Le Corbusier. Panjab University moved here during 1958-1960. Till the re-
organisation of Punjab in 1966, the University had its regional centres at Rohtak, Shimla and Jalandhar and its affiliated
colleges were located in the States of Punjab, Haryana and Himachal Pradesh and the Union Territory of Chandigarh. With the
re-organization of Punjab, the University became an Inter-State Body Corporate subsequent to the creation of a separate
Punjab and Haryana. Currently the Panjab University has affiliated colleges in the Union Territory of Chandigarh and some
parts of Punjab.
The Panjab University Campus at Chandigarh accommodates 78 teaching and research departments/institutes/centres besides
four independent Chairs for research. The University School of Open Learning, a multi-disciplinary department, caters to
more than 22,000 distance learners and offers 23 traditional and job oriented courses. The university has 194 affiliated and
6 constituent colleges spread over Punjab and Chandigarh besides Regional Centres at Muktsar, Ludhiana, Hoshiarpur
and Kauni. In addition, there is the Vishveshavaranand Vishwa Bandhu Institute of Sanskrit and Indological Studies at
Hoshiarpur.
The Campus
Panjab University is located in Sector 14 and Sector 25 of Chandigarh, spread across an area of almost 550 acres.
The layout of two campuses of the University has been conceived to meet the academic, administrative, sports/recreational,
residential and other requirements of a growing University. To make it self-contained, infrastructural facilities like its own
Shopping Centre, Health Centre, Bank, Post office, Swimming Pool, Gymnasium, Sports Grounds, Botanical Gardens, well
maintained parks, Open Air Theatre, Guest Houses, Faculty House, Seminar Complexes, Alumni House, Community Centre and
a school, have been provided. Besides these facilities, the University Campus has 8 hostels for boys, 9 hostels for girls, a
Working Women's Hostel, one International Hostel and 2 Sports hostels.
A cluster of prominent buildings like the Gandhi Bhawan, the Fine Arts Museum, the University Library and the Student Centre
form the hub of social interaction. The Gandhi Bhawan, Student Centre, the University Library and the University Administrative
Block are also considered part of the architectural heritage of Chandigarh, being examples of modernism in architecture as it
was interpreted by Le Corbusier and those who worked with him.
The Fine Arts Museum, with its series of small galleries arranged around a courtyard, each gallery having a hyperbolic
paraboloid roof (umbrella shaped), is not only an architectural but a structural marvel as well.
