From the desk of Registrar, GNDU
Over the past fifty-five years, Guru Nanak Dev University has become synonymous with excellence, innovation, and unwavering reliability. It is an honour and a privilege to serve as the Registrar of this esteemed institution, which is deeply rooted in a humanitarian mission and driven by a philanthropic spirit. Our commitment to inspire and empower youth to excel in their chosen fields continues to guide us towards new heights of achievement.
Despite its relatively young age, the University is rapidly progressing on both academic and non-academic fronts, propelled by relentless dedication and a clear vision for the future. GNDU has cultivated a transparent and inclusive culture that encourages teamwork and a passion for discovery, qualities that have earned it the prestigious status of a “Category One” University, recognition as a “University with Potential for Excellence” by the UGC, and an “A++” grade by NAAC.
Guru Nanak Dev University attracts students from across the globe, drawn by our modern infrastructure, cutting-edge facilities, highly qualified faculty, proactive leadership, and best-in-class teaching and learning practices. The University is
committed to creating a vibrant and nurturing environment for disseminating knowledge, informed by innovation, scientific inquiry, and social responsibility.
We have embraced technology and modern academic practices to enhance the student experience. From online admissions and centralisedcounselling for state-level intakes, to a credit-based evaluation system and contemporary curricula, every aspect of the GNDU academic ecosystem is designed to meet international standards. Our well-equipped laboratories, international collaborations, special academic Chairs, and frequent organisation of national and international conferences and workshops reflect
our global outlook.
Postgraduate students are actively encouraged to research through short dissertations, term papers, and guided projects, cultivating a strong foundation in advanced academic inquiry. Beyond academics, students can express their talents in sports, theatre, cultural activities, and more. Well-managed hostels for boys and girls, and attentive planning and supervision contribute to a safe and conducive environment for holistic development.
Even during the global disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, Guru Nanak Dev University swiftly transitioned to online learning, transforming adversity into opportunity. With the visionary leadership of our Hon’ble Vice Chancellor and the
dedicated efforts of our faculty, researchers, and staff, the University continues to strive for academic excellence and shape a promising future for our nation's youth and beyond.
