Urvisha Wason's Review on Panjab University, Chandigarh

Campus Placement Drive: AVSAR 

Panjab University is one of the first three highest impact factor Educational Institution of India, which aims at providing perfect ambience to budding professionals so as to enable them to carve a unique niche in their upcoming field. Clarity of concept, confidence, discipline, boldness, motivation and a desire to excel are inculcated in them as a part and parcel of the curriculum, besides grooming them to become learned professionals. For them striving for perfection as well as excellence has become as much a part of their personality as is gaining knowledge in their respective fields.

Our publication, patents, discoveries have been a matter of pride for us but our true strength and pride lies in our PRODUCE which has not only excelled in all the fields it has ventured into, but has also brought glory to the University and made the university proud. For the benefit of the students, Panjab University has a Central Placement Cell. Institutions/Corporate Houses/Industries interested in conducting campus interviews / placement is requested to contact the Advisor, Central Placement cell.

THE CAMPUS
The Panjab University is located in Sector 14 and Sector 25 of Chandigarh in an area of almost 550 acres.

The layout of two parts of the University has been conceived to meet the academic, administrative, sports / recreational, residential and other requirements of a growing University. To make it self-contained, infrastructural facilities like its own Shopping Centre, Health Centre, Bank, Post office, Swimming Pool, Gymnasium, Sports Grounds, Botanical Gardens, well maintained parks, Open Air Theatre, Guest Houses, Faculty House, Seminar Complexes, Alumni House, Community Centre and School have been provided. Besides these facilities, the University Campus has 8 hostels for boys, 9 hostels for girls, a Working Women Hostel and two sports hostels.

The University Campus has fairly well-marked zones like teaching, administrative, sports/recreational and residential. A cluster of prominent buildings like the Gandhi Bhawan, the Fine Arts Museum, the University Library and the Student Centre form the hub of social interaction. The three-winged structure of the Gandhi Bhawan is the most artistic building, known as the pride of the University. The Fine Arts Museum, with its series of small galleries arranged around a courtyard, each gallery having a hyperbolic paraboloid roof (umbrella shaped), is not only an architectural but a structural marvel as well. The University Library, another key building, of the Sector 14 Campus is an RCC framed structure with red sandstone veneers. The Student Centre with its circular base and a ramp pulsating around its cylindrical body is another land mark building.
