The infrastructure is good, and the teachers have great knowledge of their subjects.
Placements: There are some placements in Zoology (if we get good marks, like 90% and above) but not as many as in other departments of Panjab University. There are some scholarships available for students. Although the teachers guide students about placements.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure is good. There are neat and clean classrooms and well-equipped labs. Each department has its own library. Wi-Fi is available. You need to fill a form to access it. Hostels are good, including mess and canteen. All the departments conduct some co-curricular activities.
Faculty: All the teachers are good and have great knowledge about their subjects and are very helpful. The course is not so difficult, and the exams are also not much tough. Materials are provided by the teachers are easy for students to study, and we can enjoy our studies.
Other: Campus life is very good with a clean environment. Scholarships are available for students. There are lots of events like presentations, fresher's, farewell, annual functions, and sports day.

Traditional teaching and nil placements.
Placements: Placements are not good at all. They don't call for companies and any internships for summers. Generally, 10 percent students get placed and the average package is 3 lakhs which hardly few students get. Companies provide profiles like quality control executive, customer relationship, etc.
Infrastructure: Panjab University is well-known for its huge campus and every student can get a hostel there. The Wi-Fi speed is great, but air-conditioning is not available. Students enjoy the sports complex parks in the main campus. There is no shortage of water or electricity in the hostels. Canteens are there which provide quality food.
Faculty: The lazy faculty members of Panjab University don't take an interest in teaching. Labs are less equipped and getting extra classes is very difficult. The course curriculum is similar to other state universities. The class teaching is old as there are no projectors or presentations.

Old university with almost nil placements.
Placements: Placements of seniors were not up to the mark since Punjab University is not known for placements. It's a matter of chance if someone gets placed. The average package is 2 LPA and is rare. No internship is available. We have to look for internships on our own.
Infrastructure: Punjab University has a very big campus with a good infrastructure but there are limited air-conditioned rooms. Sitting benches are also old. Food courts are there on the campus. The canteen food is good but the hostel mess food is better. Premises is not clean and toilets are not cleaned regularly.
Faculty: Senior faculty members are present in the University and they teach with devotion but the use of projectors and other equipment is not there. The course variety is wide. Most of the admissions are based on online exams held by the Punjab University. The number of faculty members are increasing with time.

    For B.Sc courses, you have to give PU CET UG test. 20% of board marks are also added to it. Then a proper merit list is made. Moreover, result of PU CET UG is out.
