The UGC record

NIRF 2025
NIRF publishes a separate ranking for each field and ranks only the institutions that sent data for that field. Punjab Agricultural University appears in 2 of them. Being absent from the others is not a mark against it; usually it means no submission was made for that table.
Its strongest position is University, at rank 64 of the 100 institutions that table lists, where the highest score was 85.05 against this one's 50.84.
On the same UGC list, Punjab holds 34 universities, and 8 of them appear anywhere in NIRF 2025. This is one of those 8.
NAAC accreditation
We do not have a confirmed NAAC record for this institution yet, so we are not printing one. We only publish a record when we are certain it belongs to the right institution.
NAAC's own list is linked below, and the institution's office is the right place to ask for its current accreditation status. Worth knowing when you ask: NAAC moved to Binary Accreditation in June 2024, which records whether an institution is Accredited rather than giving a letter grade, so many institutions are between systems right now. When we have a record we are sure of, it will appear here.

Each filing above is a PDF the institution itself sent to the government. Under Sanctioned (Approved) Intake it carries the real seat numbers for every programme across six years, with student strength, faculty count and expenditure beside them. If anybody promises you a seat, the promise has to fit inside those numbers.
Four things this page cannot settle
A record is a starting point, not a verdict.
Recognition and rank say nothing about what your family pays or what your degree is worth. Each of these has its own page, written once and kept current.
The state portal for Punjab, and the central schemes, are listed on our government scholarships page, and every other university in the state is on the Punjab page.
Questions people actually ask
What a family wants to know about Punjab Agricultural University.
Is Punjab Agricultural University recognised by the UGC?
Yes. Punjab Agricultural University appears at entry 670 on the University Grants Commission's consolidated list of universities, the list as published on 25.01.2023. It is recorded there as a state university in Ludhiana, Punjab. It has been recognised since 1962. Recognition on that list is what makes a degree from it valid. CollegeJaancho publishes the UGC's record and adds no rating of its own.
Is Punjab Agricultural University a fake university?
No. The UGC publishes a state-wise list of fake universities, meaning institutions operating without the authority to award a degree. Punjab Agricultural University is not on that list. It is on the UGC's list of recognised universities instead, at entry 670. Those are two separate UGC documents, and both are linked from this page.
What is Punjab Agricultural University's NIRF 2025 rank?
NIRF 2025 ranks Punjab Agricultural University in 2 categories: University (rank 64 of 100, score 50.84); Overall (rank 81 of 100, score 51.03). Its strongest position is University at rank 64. NIRF ranks only the institutions that submitted data for a given field, so absence from a table is usually a missing submission rather than a mark against the institution. Every rank on this page links to the institution's own filing.
What NAAC grade does Punjab Agricultural University hold?
CollegeJaancho does not hold a confirmed NAAC record for Punjab Agricultural University, so this page prints none. That is not a statement that the institution lacks accreditation. NAAC moved to Binary Accreditation in June 2024, which records whether an institution is Accredited rather than awarding a letter grade, so many institutions are between the two systems. NAAC's own file is linked on this page, and the institution's office is the right place to ask for its current status.
Where is Punjab Agricultural University located?
Punjab Agricultural University is in Ludhiana, Punjab. On the same UGC list, Punjab holds 34 universities, and 8 of them appear anywhere in NIRF 2025.
How can I verify Punjab Agricultural University myself?
Open two documents, both linked on this page. The UGC consolidated list of universities carries the recognition at entry 670. The institution's own NIRF 2025 filing carries its Sanctioned (Approved) Intake, the real seat count for every programme across six years, with student strength, faculty count and expenditure beside it. If a promise about a seat does not fit inside those numbers, the institution cannot keep it.
