One of the best and biggest public sector women's universities, which offers courses from Intermediate to PhD. Very safe and peaceful environment with focus on empowering women in all the fields. They are paying extra attention towards revival of women sports and recently a women cricket academy under Sports Board Punjab has been launched here. Overall, great university for female education.

A good university for women. It is a blessing for whom their parents don't allow for co-education and co-workers. Daycare facility is available for faculty and other staff.
