Jalandhar, June 11

Three universities of Jalandhar have figured in the list of top institutes in the 2020 NIRF ranking declared by the HRD Ministry on Thursday.

A deemed university being run by the Centre, Dr BR Ambedkar National Institute of Technology (NIT), Jalandhar, has managed to get 52nd rank this year against 113th position last time. Likewise, the state government-run IK Gujral Punjab Technical University has got 104th rank among top 200 engineering institutes of the country.

Among private universities here, Lovely Professional University has got an overall university ranking of 78 among all the government and private universities of the country. The LPU is the only private university of Punjab to be among the top 100. The LPU School of Pharmacy has been ranked at 29; Management 49; and Engineering at 87.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
