IK Gujral Punjab Technical University

IK Gujral Punjab Technical University in Jalandhar, established in 1997, is the state technical university to which a large share of Punjab's engineering and professional colleges are affiliated, alongside its own campus teaching. It holds an A grade from NAAC and approval from both UGC and AICTE. On its main campus the engineering branches, led by computer science, form the core offering, delivered at government-university fee levels that undercut the private colleges it oversees. Jalandhar is a well-connected mid-sized Punjabi city with modest living costs. The university suits students who want an affordable public B.Tech in Punjab with a degree from the state's own technical university, particularly those weighing it against costlier private options in the Chandigarh and NCR belts.
