University of the Punjab - PU (reviews)

studied Chemistry at the University of Punjab and it taught me more than just science.
The faculty was knowledgeable and the campus environment pushed me to think independently. Lahore as a student city has its own energy. Affordable, cultural, and full of opportunities if you look for them.
The programme was academically strong. Practical lab work was consistent. The workload prepared me for real deadline pressure.
If you are a science student looking for a solid public university in Pakistan, Punjab University delivers. The alumni network is large and the degree carries weight nationally.
One honest note. Resources like libraries and digital tools could be more updated. But the foundation you build here is strong.
Overall a valuable experience that shaped how I think, work, and communicate.

I started my bachelor at Punjab University in 2018 as a pioneer batch of Allied sciences. it included Medical Laboratory Technology, Medical Imaging Technology, Doctor of Physiotherapy (5 year), Dental technology, Anesthesia Technology, Orthotics n prosthetics. After our batch new admissions were totally closed. Maybe in this year 2026, they start with the 2nd batch.
Study at PU is undoubtedly remarkable. Our professors were highly educated. For most subjects Doctors from Sheikh Zayed Hospital were appointed for Lectures. For practical work they signed MoU with Gulab Devi Teaching Hospital.
Managing new fields were challenging but somehow PU kept its name. Dr. Rubina (HoD) and Dr. Awais (initiated these programs) both did their best to provide us best education and hands-on experience on our fields.

I studied at Punjab University for four years, and to be honest, I’m quite disappointed with how things have changed over time. When I first joined, the system and rules were much better, but now there’s a clear lack of merit and transparency. It often feels like if you don’t have connections with people in higher management, you’ll struggle to get the support or recognition you deserve.

The staff is mostly outdated, following old concepts with little motivation to improve or adopt new teaching methods. The lab facilities are poorly maintained, and the overall environment lacks innovation and fairness. I truly hope the university takes serious steps to upgrade its staff, improve the labs, and remove internal politics, so students can focus on learning without unnecessary stress.

The Punjab university is top university in Pakistan located in Lahore which is capital of Punjab. The university offers wide range of programmes. Above all the environment is great, and non of the students feels threaten in the university premises. The teaching faculty are very knowledgeable where most of the teachers were PHD level. The start of the lecture is with real life examples, with context of the topic and involving each and every student in the discussion leads to great classroom experience where none of the students feels ignored. Overall, the Punjab University is the best university in Punjab and Pakistan for your bachelors and master degrees. It is highly recommended.
