Panjab University

We are located on the first floor of House No 379 in Sector 30 A, Chandigarh. This is where a lot of the administrative heavy lifting for Panjab University happens. It’s a bit away from the main campus, which can be nice because it stays a little quieter here most of the time. Sector 30 A is a classic Chandigarh neighborhood with plenty of trees and wide streets. The stairs to the first floor are a little steep, and we’re always carrying boxes of papers up and down. We handle student records, faculty inquiries, and general university business. It's a lot of data entry and filing. The rooms are full of old cabinets and the smell of paper. We have a small team here, and we’ve all been together for years. We know each other’s habits and how everyone likes their tea. Sometimes students come by looking for help with their transcripts or registration, and we do what we can to guide them. It’s not a flashy office with a view. Our view is mostly the rooftops of the neighboring houses. It’s a very grounded way to work. We don't use fancy jargon or have big meetings. We just sit at our desks and work through the piles of folders that come our way every single morning. It's the engine room of the university in a way. Just hard work.
