About Us

Chaudhary Charan Singh University, formerly known as Meerut University, was founded in 1965 to meet the demands of western Uttar Pradesh's higher education system. The university celebrated its silver jubilee. Today, it is one of the nation's top educational institutions, with a sprawling, beautiful, and pollution-free campus that spans 222 acres and features large playgrounds and experimental fields, a botanical garden, a rose garden with a life-size statue of the late Prime Minister Ch. Charan Singh, a gymnasium, an indoor stadium, a well-equipped library, hostels for both boys and girls, an administrative block, a spacious auditorium, a guest house, a community centre, a medical centre, faculty and staff housing, a canteen, a bank, and a post office. Comprising various faculties, the teaching department is housed in large buildings with state-of-the-art facilities and well-equipped laboratories. Additionally, the university has a distinct engineering college that offers courses leading to a B.Tech. degree in a number of engineering specialities.

The M.Phil. and Ph.D. programmes were first launched in 1969, making the university the first in the nation to offer an M.Phil. programme.

Along with the updated curricula, postgraduate-level courses were also added in 1973. Since then, the university has been progressing at a steady rate. In order to meet the evolving needs of society and to develop human resources, self-financed courses were to be introduced during the VIII five-year plan. Today, the campus is home to five faculties, offering 35 self-financed/job-oriented courses in addition to 22 UGC-sponsored courses. Chaudhary Charan Singh University has affiliations with 252 professional colleges/institutions, 109 colleges, and one constituent college.

The university is offering many new and innovative postgraduate, undergraduate, diploma, advanced diploma, and postgraduate diploma courses under the self-financed scheme in the following areas: agricultural sciences, humanities, social sciences, journalism, mass communication and multimedia techniques, earth sciences, teacher and physical education, fine arts, legal studies, applied sciences, home science, business studies, geographical information systems (GIS), and remote sensing. These courses are being offered under the capable direction of the Vice Chancellor, a renowned innovative technologist and an established, dedicated academic administrator.

The semester system and the ongoing development of the students through quizzes, tests, and seminars are two unique aspects of the academic programme. Through computer labs, seminars, group discussions, and lectures by professionals invited from other institutions, the academic programme exposes students to practical aspects. The efforts of highly skilled and dedicated faculty members who have been offering postgraduate, M.Phil., and Ph.D. students high-quality instruction are what have earned the university recognition. The achievements of our students are unparalleled, and the university has made a lasting impression in the field of athletics.
