“Transforming IKGPTU into a globally competitive, student-first university through innovation, industry partnerships, and inclusive growth.” — Dr. Navdeepak Sandhu

It is with profound honor and a deep sense of responsibility that I welcome you to I.K. Gujral Punjab Technical University (IKGPTU) — a distinguished institution committed to excellence in education, research, innovation, and societal service.

As Registrar of this esteemed university, I am entrusted with overseeing the academic administration that sustains our mission of delivering quality higher education. The Office of the Registrar serves as a cornerstone of academic integrity, ensuring the accurate maintenance of records, the seamless conduct of examinations, and the effective implementation of policies that support and empower our students, faculty, and staff.

With nearly two decades of academic and administrative experience, I have had the privilege of leading initiatives that have significantly benefited students across the IKGPTU ecosystem. These include the introduction of a centralized placement framework that has strengthened recruitment opportunities for students across affiliated colleges, connecting them with leading companies from diverse sectors, including IT, manufacturing, consulting, and core engineering. Alongside placements, IKGPTU has expanded industry-aligned skill development programmes, global internship opportunities, and access to extensive internship platforms. I have also spearheaded the establishment of an Incubation Centre and organized multiple entrepreneurship awareness programmes to nurture innovation and startup culture.

IKGPTU has also entered into strategic collaborations with leading national and international organizations to integrate real-world learning into the academic environment. Additionally, I have had the honor of serving as President of the Institute Innovation Council, IKGPTU, under the Ministry of Education, advancing the university’s role in supporting national priorities in research and innovation.

Looking ahead, my vision is to position IKGPTU as a globally competitive, student-first university with a strong focus on digital transformation, international collaborations, interdisciplinary research, entrepreneurship, and inclusive development. At I.K. Gujral Punjab Technical University (IKGPTU), we are committed to preparing students for meaningful careers through structured placement support, industry training, and global exposure.

I warmly invite you to explore our website and engage with the vibrant community of IKGPTU. Together, let us uphold the enduring values to facilitate the academic journey of every student with diligence and care, while supporting the broader goals of the university in research, innovation, and societal impact
