Panjab University envisions being a premier world-class institution, developing and disseminating transformative knowledge “to create future intellectuals, leaders and innovators”. It seeks to address

societal needs and challenges and provide equal access and treatment and a safe environment free of discrimination and inequality.

Its mission thus includes offering teaching programmes in line with national and global priorities. Research collaborations – across disciplines, intra/inter-institutional, national and international – are the cornerstone of this structure.

Transparency, efficiency, accountability in administration; decentralization and autonomy of departments are the keys to good governance.

The Panjab University Calendar comprehensively prescribes the governance structure of the University and the rules and regulations for all aspects of its functioning. The norms and standards for various activities of the university are set by the competent authority such as Senate, syndicate etc.

The Senate, a democratic body comprising elected and nominated members representing all stakeholders, governs the University. The Senate has the power to review the recommendations of the syndicate and the academic council.  They meet quarterly; its annually elected Syndicate meets monthly.

The Vice-Chancellor provides academic leadership and evolved strategies for the academic growth of the university in association with the senate, syndicate, DUI, Registrar, COE, FDO, and Dean of various Faculties, etc. The Dean of University Instruction (DUI) is the Academic Head and works as a nodal centre to scrutinize, supervise and synergize academic and administrative activities of teaching departments of Panjab University and its Regional Centres.

The Registrar heads the Administration of the university in all legal proceedings except where the Senate otherwise resolves to the contrary.

The apex academic body is the Academic Council. Every Academic Faculty has an elected Dean. The Dean College Development Council (DCDC) oversees the affiliated colleges. The Controller of Examinations (COE) oversees the mammoth examination machinery. The Finance and Development Officer (FDO) is a qualified Chartered Accountant.

Dean Alumni Relations and Dean International Students liaise with the rich alumni base of the University and the international students. The residential, social and cultural needs of the students are looked after by the Dean of Student Welfare.

Deans of various faculties duly elected for one year term is instrumental in over-viewing the changes and

updation of the syllabus after the same has been sent by the Board of Studies to the respective Faculties. Deans are also an important part of the Career Advancement Schemes of respective faculties, besides playing a vital role in committees constituted for research development and grants in their respective faculties. Panjab University has eleven faculties, i.e.,  Faculty of Arts; Science; Business Management and Commerce; Education; Languages; Law; Medical Sciences; Pharmaceutical Sciences; Design and Fine Arts; and Dairying, Animal Husbandry and Agriculture.

The University leadership encourages and grooms younger faculty to take up management roles through the co-option of faculty in various committees and offering them positions of responsibility (like Coordinators, Associate Directors, Deputy Directors, Secretary of faculty, etc.). The success of this experiment is evident from the fact that most of the younger faculty who joined PU in the early years of their career are currently holding positions of Deans and Directors. This has helped in managing continuity and change.

To promote excellence in research, the University has initiated several mechanisms like seed money grants, travel grants, and funding support for conferences, seminars, and workshops over the years.

Cardinal Principles governing educational administration at Panjab University are to promote learning keeping in view the concern for Access, Equity, Quality, Relevance and Value based Education. This is reflected through promotion of dynamic, decentralized and transparent governance system centric to students, teachers and goals of Panjab University.

The University at present has 74 departments/institutes/centres and 6 chairs for teaching and research at the main campus located at Chandigarh. The University at present has 202 affiliated colleges spread over various pans of Punjab and has four Regional Centers, at Kauni (rural), Muktsar, Ludhiana and Hoshiarpur. It has six constituent colleges located at Sikhwala (Sri Muktsar Sahib), Balachaur (SBS Nagar), Nihal Singh Wala (Moga), Dharamkot (Moga), Mohkam Khan Wala (Ferozepur) and Guru Harsahai (Ferozepur).

The University follows a decentralized and participative management approach in all academic and administrative activities, initiatives and decision-making by involving Deans, Heads of Departments and faculty members at all levels. The constitution of various statutory bodies speak evidently of the participative nature of management even at the highest levels. The system provides for the continuous involvement of all important functionaries and the faculty in decision-making and policy formulation, as also in the formulation of academic, research, and extension programmes. 

The Panjab University Senate, its governing body, has 46 elected members representing all stakeholders of the University including teachers of the University and its affiliated colleges, college principals, academic faculties, registered graduates and civil society.

All academic decisions are initiated at individual departments where the various committees (academic, administrative and technical) include faculty members at all rungs of seniority. An elected Board of Studies (BoS) recommends curriculum to its Academic Faculty. Academic faculties are headed by elected Deans and include Professors, Chairpersons and elected members to deliberate these and recommend to the apex Academic body, i.e., the Academic Council.

Administrative decisions are taken by a number of committees comprising faculty members from the University as well as affiliated colleges. These include the Regulation Committee, the Affiliation Committee and the Board of Finance.

PU administration has a healthy tradition of conducting regular meetings with the Chairpersons on various aspects of academic and administration, including acedmic scheduling, information sharing on best practices, identifying areas for improvement and feedback analysis.

Representatives of the duly elected Teachers Association and the Non-teaching Staff are invited to many of the important committees of the university, including being nominated to the Senate.

Student participation is ensured through an elected Student Council as per the norms of the Lyngdoh Committee. Students are involved in the framing and revision of Syllabi and their representative is allowed to witness Senate Meetings. Students are included in various committees including the Grievance Cell, Placement Cell, Committee against Sexual Harassment and Committee for prevention of Ragging. Duly elected student Departmental Representatives are also involved in student related activities.

Thus, PU has Developed Decentralised Educational Management which promotes dynamic, decentralized and transparent governance system centric to aspirations of students, industry, society and faculty through restructuring and reengineering. Focus of this process is on devolution of administrative powers with a strong focus on e-governance.

The institute has a student-centric approach and stakeholders are the final beneficiaries of these developments. Activities are planned at the beginning of every academic year through Academic Calendar

and suggestions are sought from faculty members. Keeping with this objective, Panjab University has provided its teachers, research scholars and students on-campus as well as off-campus access to all its e-resources.

The e-library of Panjab University powered by K-nimbus has rich collection of e-resources and databases. The provision of e-library services has improved the research output of Panjab University, visible in the sustained quantum as well as the quality of publications. At the planning stage itself, importance was given to developing a Multidisciplinary innovation ecosystem, which would lead to an incubation centre at an institutional level, project-based learning for students and high-quality research and entrepreneurship. Towards attaining the above-mentioned goals, the university began working towards building an IRINS Portal, having user  friendly features.

PU@IRINS Portal is a joint venture of INFLIBNET and our university where all details regarding publications and citations of Panjab University faculty members have been integrated in a single window. IRINS is a web-based Research Information Management (RIM) service developed by the Information and Library Network (INFLIBNET) Centre. The portal facilitates academic, R&D organizations and scientists to collect, curate and showcase scholarly communication activities and provides an opportunity to create a scholarly network. IRINS is available as free software-as-service to academic and R&D organizations in India. It supports the integration of existing research management systems such as the HR system, course management, grant management system, institutional repository, open and commercial citation databases, scholarly publishers, etc.

It has integrated with academic identities such as ORCID ID, ScopusID, Research ID, Microsoft Academic ID, and Google Scholar ID for ingesting scholarly publications from various sources.

In PU@IRINS, profiles of 923 academicians of PU which include serving and retired faculty members, scientists, library professionals, etc. have been created. The portal has many unique and distinct features, including networking of faculty through a co-author network, map of science network and graphical representation of the productivity of the department and individual faculty members. It has multiple benefits for researchers, institutions and funding agencies who wish to collaborate with us.

For research scholars, it is very beneficial to find supervisors for their research work and research focus of the department/centre of PU where they wish to enrol themselves for PhD work. It supports the faculty members by showcasing their research contributions to the peer group, international community and brings funding opportunities from national and international agencies.

This portal provides a department-level h-index and research contributions of their faculty members which can help the university administration assess the research performance of their respective departments for better decision-making and funding.

PU has taken initiative to develop a system of mentorship by creating a database of distinguished faculty members.  This is also in consonance with the recommendations of National Educational Policy, 2020 and the mandate of the UGC for faculty to register on VIDWAN and IRINS portals for any research funding.

So, building this portal is also a great step for the university to implement one of the recommendations of NEP 2020 and comply with the UGC notification.

IQAC, constituted in the University under the Chairmanship of the Vice Chancellor, functions as a nodal agency of the University for quality-related issues, with a clear mandate to develop measures for quality sustenance and enhancement. The cardinal principles of IQAC cell are to promote quality consciousness among all the stakeholders. It has evolved mechanisms to record and monitor the healthy practices adopted by the various wings of the University. The IQAC Cell also deliberates on various aspects of quality sustenance, quality enhancement and the action which can ensure the quality culture in PU and its various wings.

The University has a constant endeavour to ensure quality at various levels in the University and has been clearly stated in the Vision-2020 document of the University, which has now been thoroughly reviewed and revised as PU Vision-2025. The various wings of the University are empowered to formulate and implement the policies as per the rules of the University to maintain quality.

While following the bottom-up approach, the Boards of Studies of respective departments, Research Promotion Cells (RPC), Departmental Research Monitoring Committees (RMCs), Departmental

Committees and other stakeholders define and deploy the quality benchmarks. The IQAC on the University campus ensures the successful implementation of these policies and provides requisite information to facilitate decision making.

The following illustrations exhibit practices institutionalized at PU as a result of IQAC initiatives:

  1. Use and enrichment of ICT infrastructure for teaching-learning-administrative Processes:

The IQAC has been instrumental towards the successful implementation of modern technology in the University’s administrative functioning through ICT.

IQAC has developed Panjab University Information Resource Portal (IRP), which is an innovative way to collect and organize information from 74 teaching Departments as well as administrative organs.The details about the faculty and administration, can be accessed for quick decision making. This portal also helps IQAC to collect, organize and submit information to NIRF-MHRD, NAAC, AISHEMHRD, Times-Higher Education and QS World Rankings, etc.in a timely and efficient manner.

Automation of admission, financial and examination processes, and upgradation of Wi-Fi and LAN facilities have significantly contributed to an enhanced quality of teaching-learning experience.

Web Link for IRP at PU: http://irb.pu.ac.in/ (Intranet).

  1. Implementation of a Sound Feedback System

The IQAC collects the feedback of various stakeholders (Students, Teachers, Alumni, Employers and Parents) to assess outcomes of its teaching-learning processes and the performance of the students and teachers. Realizing the importance of feedback in teaching and research in the present-day competitive academic environment, the IQAC has evolved, identified and implemented a system of obtaining feedback from the stakeholders and prepare action taken reports, which are analysed at various fora, including meetings with the Chairpersons. In pursuance of the direction of the University, every effort is made to remain in touch with the stakeholders to collect as much feedback from them as possible to ensure commitment and sincerity among the academic community. The feedback received is scrutinized, analyzed and utilized for quality enhancement and improvement in various aspects such as curriculum enrichment, infrastructural facilities, augmentation of research facilities which result in student progression and enhancing societal contributions of the university. Weblink for Feedback forms are available on IQAC website.

  1. Leveraging ICT for improving academic and administrative functioning. Notable  initiative was the introduction and implementation of ICT based University Management System for all the students and faculty and the second was the introduction of the Panjab University Information Resource Portal (IRB)( http://irb.pu.ac.in/ (Intranet)), which is an innovative way to collect and organize Information from 74 teaching Departments and administrative wings.
  2. Encouraging and ensuring continual reforms in teaching-learning methodologies by laying impetus on the adoption of ICT and participatory learning in teaching practices as well as computerisation of the examination.
  3. For Honours School system, Engineering courses as well as UIAMS and UBS, the answer sheetsare duly shown to students to their satisfaction after evaluation. Thus, these scripts after examination are retained in the Department concerned for evaluation by the internal teachers and the answer books are shown to students after evaluation. The awards are finalized after sorting out/removing the queries/doubt of students, if any, regarding evaluation. With this system, the checking of answer books and re-evaluation of answer books are no longer required resulting in saving time and providing much-required transparency in evaluation. The university adopts the method of spot evaluation (Central) and dispatches answer books for evaluation at the residence of examiners. Double evaluation is adopted in case of such students who wish their scripts to be re-evaluated.
  4. Panjab University has constituted a grievance redressal cell at campus to handle grievances of students and staff. To reduce students’ grievances and to counsel them, there is a mechanism in place through which students are assigned to each teacher, who act as the mentors.
  5. Panjab University has also launched an online examination grievance-monitoring system toredress examination-related queries in a time-bound manner. The University has set up a special cell headed by a Senior Professor to handle complaints of sexual harassment on campus. Another special cell is there to handle complaints of ragging on the campus and its hostels. Not only does it generate opinion among students against ragging but also hears all such complaints.
  6. More than 85% of faculty have completed their PhD/Superspeciality degrees.
  1. Huge improvement regarding sanitation in hostels and washrooms on the campus, by periofic repairs and maintainence. Approx. Rs. 133 crore have been utilised for renovation and maintenece of the infrastructure. Bio-gas plant with capacity of 1 ton has been installed near boys hostel no. 3.
  2. Four new hostels in Sector-25 have been constructed so as to enhance availability of rooms forstudents. Well-furnished reading rooms have been constructed in each hostel. This is an indicator that PU is a preferred educational destination of students from far flung areas.
  3. IQAC co-ordinated development of Course outcomes (COs) and Programme outcomes (POs) in order to lay emphasis on skills to be imparted to students through teaching-learning pedagogy.
