Admission Helpline:
A department whose record on the field speaks for itself — coaching, conditioning, and competing at the highest tier of inter-collegiate sport across Panjab University, Chandigarh.
It is a matter of pride that the College has been winning the Sir Shadi Lal Trophy — the overall championship in the field of sports — among all colleges affiliated to Panjab University, Chandigarh since 2008. Continuous, year on year.
A department built on the field — where teaching, coaching, and competition all run in parallel.
The College was established in 1963, and the Department of Physical Education has been part of its institutional life from the start. Across the decades, the College has been performing extremely well in the field of sports — a record sustained through continuous coaching, infrastructure investment, and a faculty committed to both classroom instruction and the technical work of training athletes.
The Department is headed by Dr Manmeet Gill, with a staff of four regular and four contractual members. Specialisations across the faculty cover Sports Psychology, Handball, Baseball, Basketball, Judo, and Boxing — the principal sports in which the College's athletes compete and excel.
Beyond competition, the Department engages in funded research — three UGC-funded projects covering vital capacity studies in exercising populations, comparative work on eating disorders among teachers, and emotional labour among physical-education teachers and coaches.
The College is well equipped with sports facilities — an athletics track of 200 metres, alongside fields and courts for football, handball, volleyball, basketball, and lawn tennis, an indoor shooting range, and table tennis facilities.
A diagnostic study of various parameters of vital capacity among exercises and non-exercises.
A comparative study of eating disorders among Canadian and Indian school teachers.
An analysis of emotional labour among Physical Education teachers and coaches.
Eight faculty members. Eight sports facilities. The Sir Shadi Lal Trophy on the shelf since 2008. The Department welcomes athletes prepared to compete and to learn.
