Swami Sarvanand Giri Panjab University Regional Centre (also known as SSGPURC, Hoshiarpur) is an off-campus establishment(regional centre) of NAAC accredited "Five Star" Panjab University, Chandigarh. Panjab University started its 2nd Technical Institute in Kandi Area of Punjab at Hoshiarpur from the session 2006-2007. The campus has been started keeping in mind objective of upliftment of rural students through technical education, quality training programs in need based modern technology, inculcation of moral, ethical and spiritual values in education at all levels. The campus has been established in a beautiful lush green environment with state-of-the-art Infrastructure. Panjab University is one of the oldest universities in India funded by Government of India, having a history of providing training and research work in areas such as arts, science, technology and medicine. The university expanded its activities in technical education in 2002 by establishing a campus technical institution, University Institute of Engineering and Technology, Panjab University (U.I.E.T). To expand its technical education, Panjab University started a regional centre at Hoshiarpur. The present campus was taken over by Panjab University in 2006 and started BE courses in 2006.
SSGPURC is the most versatile off-campus establishment of Panjab University, Chandigarh.
SSGPURC has recently been awarded the status of IBM Centre Of Excellence. Although a recent establishment, the regional campus has progressed fast. Its admission procedure is through the combined counselling of PEC University of Technology,University Institute of Engineering and Technology, Panjab University,University Institute of Chemical Engineering and Technology,Chandigarh College of Engineering and Technology which are all very reputed colleges. Among these five institutes, Panjab University owns University Institute of Engineering and Technology, University Institute of Chemical Engineering and Technology and Swami Sarvanand Giri Panjab University Regional Centre, Hoshiarpur. The selection procedure is strictly on the basis of AIEEE and hence it host students of good All India Ranks and probably the best in the region.

In February 2006, the campus was taken over by Panjab University, as its regional centre.
The engineering graphics lab is equipped with the design/drafting software like Pro-E. The lab has a computing facility with IBM computers.
In this lab the concepts of mechanical engineering are made stronger by performing practicals.Basic mechanical engg. labs covering wide areas of thermodynamics, fluid mechanics and strength of materials are there in the campus . these are established keeping in mind the syllabi and basic needs for all engineering courses.State of the art equipments for conducting experimentation on internal combustion engines, fluid flow and material characteristics of commonly used materials in various engineering applications. Also department is in process of establishing various labs for third and fourth semester of mechanical engineering.
Electronics & Communication Engineering has succeeded beyond all expectations in making a mark in the life of the modern man. The scope of application is so vast that one cannot think of any field where electronics does not find some utility. The department has well qualified and experienced staff and continually updates it's laboratories with modern facilities. Given below are a list of Labs of the department and the facilities they provide:
Cathode Ray Oscilloscope, Function generators, Audio Signal generators, Digital multimeters, Regulated multiple output Power supplies, Frequency counter and a variety of Active and Passive Components, etc.
Electronic Devices & Circuits Laboratories is primarily aimed to meet the requirements of practical work meant for Active components basic analysis, Designing and testing of Amplifier and Oscillators circuits, Linear and non-linear applications using analog ICs.
Except Lab 4 all other labs have internet connectivity. A Special Internet Lab(Net Lab) with 10 DELL machines is open round the clock for students.
Workshops covering wide areas of thermodynamics, fluid mechanics are there. These are established keeping in mind the syllabi and basic needs for engineering courses. A workshop block has workshops for mechanical, electrical and electronics education, equipped with tools and machinery for enhancing the practical skills of students.
Admission is on the basis of AIEEE. Candidates have to apply for JAC. The candidates having compartment in 10+2 examination held in the current year will not be eligible for admission in any course. MCA and LLB admissions are through the PU OCET test merits.
SSGPURC has a training and placement cell headed by Dr Gurinder Singh. Students from Computer Science, Electronics, Mechanical and Electrical and Electronics Engineering departments form part of this cell. The students are selected in the cell through interviews. Besides creating job avenues for the students, the cell ensures that students are equipped to meet the requirements of the industry.http://ssgpurch.puchd.ac.in/Placements.html,Training and Placement Brochure
Placements drives by some companies for the students of this college are conducted in UIET, Panjab University, Chandigarh as a joint project and students are made job offers through the campus itself.
There are clubs for activities such as technical, cultural, literary, robotics, and chess.
