Studied at PTU

Punjab Technical University or PTU was established by an Act of the State Legislature on 16th January 1997. The primary purpose was to promote technical, management, and pharmaceutical education in the state at degree level and above. Initially, it was established as Punjab Technical University and later renamed as I.K.Gujral Punjab Technical University by the State Government in honor of Late Sh. Inder Kumar Gujral, Former Prime Minister of India, in 2015. 

The University has set up many centers of excellence for promoting training, research, and development in these areas. The university offers a number of courses in different streams regular as well as distance education courses.

So, PTU is a government-based University and not a private engineering college.

M.Tech. Information Technology, I. K. Gujral Punjab Technical University (2006)

PTU is a state university run by Punjab Government, thus it is purely a government university. It was established as Punjab Technical University and renamed as I K Gujral Punjab Technical University.

Many students have doubts regarding the same because PTU has a lot of affiliated colleges and most of them are private. CGC Landran is one of the many colleges affiliated with PTU and it is a private college too. 

At present, Punjab Technical University has 121 AICTE and 65 UGC institutes affiliated with it. The university has changed its name and is now known as IKGPTU abbreviated as Inder Kumar Gujral Punjab Technical University.
