Central University of Punjab

Located in Bathinda, Punjab, Central University of Punjab runs a Law programme with 71 students taught by 8 faculty members. In NIRF 2025, the university ranked #40 in the Law category with a score of 52.70 out of 100, and #20 in Pharmacy with a score of 64.73 out of 100, indicating a stronger showing in Pharmacy than in Law nationally.

Placement outcomes for the Law PG two-year programme have been modest: of 37 graduates in 2023-24, only 3 were placed, with a median salary of 11.8 LPA. In the two preceding years, placements were similarly thin, with 1 out of 26 graduates placed in 2022-23 (median salary 6 LPA) and 3 out of 29 in 2021-22 (also 6 LPA). Prospective Law students should weigh the low placement rates against the relatively high median salary among those who were placed.

The Pharmacy PG two-year programme shows a different pattern, with a much larger share of graduates placed. In 2023-24, 41 of 44 graduates found placement, at a median salary of 4 LPA. The prior two years followed a similar trend, with 24 of 36 placed in 2022-23 (median salary 3.47 LPA) and 28 of 47 placed in 2021-22 (median salary 3.36 LPA), suggesting steadier placement outcomes in Pharmacy, though at lower median salaries than Law.
