Punjab University has reopened undergraduate admissions for the 2026-27 academic year. The move aims to fill vacant seats across several degree programs.
The second admission phase started at 8:00 AM on September 8, 2026. Eligible candidates can submit applications until 11:59 PM on September 28, 2026.
