• A Tour of the Chandigarh, India, Region — Academic Reputation Counts!

Both Chandigarh University, Mohali (770-780) and Shoolini University, Solan (770-780) are ranked substantially higher than Panjab University, Chandigarh (1001-1200). Even higher is Punjab University in Lahore, Pakistan (741-750).

The inferior placement of PU Chandigarh compared to PU Lahore, Shoolini, and Chandigarh University is due to its poor performance in two crucial ranking categories - Academic and Employer Reputation - where the other three have surpassed it.

The following observation made in 2015 still holds good.
