University Profile
Punjabi University Patiala, one of the premier institutions of higher education in the north of India. The PunjabiUniversity, located in the erstwhile princely city of Patiala, in the south-east of Punjab, was established on April the 30th 1962. After the Hebrew University of Israel, this is the only University to be named after a language. Although, initially, the main task before the University was to develop and promote the language of the Punjabi people, it has since evolved into a multi-faceted multi-faculty educational institution with over sixty-five teaching and research departments.
The University has a modern well planned campus located about seven kilometers from the Patiala city, called the City of Gardens. The campus is spread over about 316 acres with imposing buildings in lush green, pollution- free environment away from the hustle and bustle of city life.
PunjabiUniversity has established the first ever overseas centre for teaching of Punjabi as a foreign language at Espanola, New Mexico. The PunjabiUniversity takes pride in the achievement of Five Star status awarded by the NAAC.
