Panjab University (PU) is a collegiate public university located in Chandigarh. Funded through both State and Union governments, it is considered a central, as well as a state university.[3] It originated as an integral part of the University of the Punjab in Lahore, which was founded in 1882. After the partition of India, the University of the Punjab was divided into two distinct institutions, one in each of the two separate nations, with the Indian university initially called East Punjab University (EPU), situated at Shimla. Renamed Panjab University, it relocated to Chandigarh on October 1, 1947.
The university has 78 teaching and research departments and 10 centres/chairs for teaching and research at the main campus located at Chandigarh. It has 188 affiliated colleges spread over the eight districts of Punjab state and union-territory of Chandigarh, with Regional Centres at Muktsar, Ludhiana and Hoshiarpur cities in Punjab state.[4][5] It is one of the well-ranked universities in India.[6]
The campus is residential, spread over 550 acres (2.2 km2) in sector 14 and 25 of the city of Chandigarh. The main administrative and academic buildings are located in sector 14, beside a health centre, a sports complex, hostels and residential housing.[7]

The University of the Punjab was established on 14 October 1882 at Lahore (now in Punjab, Pakistan). After the partition of India in 1947, the university was split with campuses only in the Pakistani Punjab. The government in East Punjab was compelled to bring an ordinance to set up a new university on September 27, 1947.[8] The modern-day Panjab University was then established in Chandigarh of the Indian Punjab named as the "East Panjab University" on October 1, 1947.[8] To distinguish between the two universities, the name of the university on the Indian side, the spelling for 'Punjab' was changed to Panjab. The name was later shortned from East Panjab University to Panjab University. After 1947 the university had no campus of its own for nearly a decade.[9] The administrative office was in Solan and the teaching departments functioned from Hoshiarpur, Jalandhar, Delhi, and Amritsar.
In 1956 the university was relocated to Chandigarh, on a red sandstone campus designed by Pierre Jeanneret under the guidance of Le Corbusier. Until the re-organisation of Punjab in 1966, the university had its regional centres at Rohtak, Shimla, Jalandhar and its affiliated colleges were in the states of Punjab, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh and U.T. of Chandigarh. With the re-organisation of Punjab, the university became an Inter-State Body Corporate catering to the newly organised state of Punjab and union-territory of Chandigarh.
