About Pachhunga University College, Aizawl
Mizoram University, a central university, runs Pachhunga University College in Aizawl as its sole constituent college, on a largely forested campus at College Veng on the city's eastern side. The college opened on 15 August 1958 as Aijal College, Mizoram's first college. A gift from Chawngi, wife of Pachhunga, led to its renaming as Pachhunga Memorial College in 1962; the Assam government took it over in 1965, North Eastern Hill University made it its constituent college in 1979, and Mizoram University assumed control in 2001. NAAC graded it A+ with a CGPA of 3.47 in 2023.
The college runs four-year NEP 2020 undergraduate programmes in 22 subjects across arts, science, commerce and management, and master's courses in Mizo, Philosophy, Life Sciences, Geo-Physics and Applied Mathematics and Statistics, with PhD research in life sciences and philosophy. Undergraduate seats are filled through CUET-UG, the college's own entrance test PUCET (for arts, commerce and BBA) or, for B.Sc., Class XII marks; master's admission uses CUET-PG, with PUCET as an alternative for Mizo and Philosophy. In NIRF 2025 it is ranked 49th among colleges.
