across Punjab. Academically, the university is divided into a number of Departments,
such as Department of CSE, Department of Architecture, Department of Management
etc. Some of the Departments operate on a number of campuses. Each Department is
headed by a Head and has a number of teaching and non-teaching staff. Each
Department offers many courses. Each course consists of a fixed core of subjects and
a number of electives from other courses. Each student in the University is enrolled
in a single course of study. A subject is taught to the students who have registered for
that subject by a teacher. A student is awarded a grade in each subject taken.
