Punjab University Syllabus – General Overview
The Punjab University (PU) syllabus refers to the academic and admission test topics that students must prepare for when applying to or studying at the University of the Punjab, Lahore. PU provides detailed course outlines and syllabi for a wide range of degree programs (BS, BA, BSc, MA, MSc, MPhil, PhD and more) on its official website, including semester‑wise course content and sample papers.
PU Admission/Entry Test Syllabus
The Punjab University Admission Test (entry test) covers multiple sections designed to assess aptitude, subject knowledge, and reasoning skills. The test pattern typically includes:
- Verbal Reasoning: English grammar, comprehension, vocabulary, analogy, and sentence completion.
- Quantitative Reasoning: Arithmetic, algebra, geometry, and basic problem‑solving questions.
- Subject‑Specific Topics: Depending on the test category you choose — e.g., Pre‑Engineering (Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics), Pre‑Medical (Physics, Chemistry, Biology), Arts & Humanities, or Commerce & General Science — three subject areas relevant to your field are tested.
The entry test is typically composed of 100 multiple‑choice questions with sections equally weighted across reasoning and subject knowledge.
Common PU Admission Test Categories:
- PU‑E (Pre‑Engineering): Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics
- PU‑M (Pre‑Medical): Physics, Chemistry, Biology
- PU‑AHS (Arts, Humanities & Social Sciences)
- PU‑CSP / PU‑CSS / PU‑CSE: Combinations related to ICS/General Science/Commerce based on selected subjects
(These categories determine which subject combinations you’ll be tested on.)
