About I.K. Gujral Punjab Technical University Examinations
The IKGPTU academic structure primarily follows a Semester System (Odd and Even). For the 2026 session, the University has outlined a clear roadmap in its academic calendar. The Even Semester 2026 (semesters 2, 4, 6, and 8) classes generally commence in January, with the End Semester Examinations scheduled to begin from April 27, 2026, onwards.
The Odd Semester 2026 (semesters 1, 3, 5, and 7) typically begins in July, with final theory exams expected to start in November 2026. Practical examinations are usually conducted by the university either immediately before or after the theory sessions, depending on the specific course batch (e.g., 2025 Batch vs. Senior Batches).

Exam Pattern & Session Types
IKGPTU conducts End Semester Theory Exams which are generally offline (pen-and-paper). Practical Exams for the 2026 session are expected to be held in two windows: mid-April 2026 for Even Semesters and mid-December 2026 for Odd Semesters. The university utilizes a Credit Based System where internal assessments (Mid-Semester Exams or MSTs) contribute significantly to the final grade.
Expert Tips for Students
- Check "Amendment" Notices: IKGPTU frequently releases "Amendment-1" or "Revised" versions of the date sheet if there are overlaps. Always ensure your PDF is the latest version before the exam day.
- Keep Printed Copies: Do not rely solely on your phone. Download and print the PDF to highlight your specific exam days, as digital devices are strictly prohibited in the exam hall.
- Contact the CoE for Discrepancies: If two of your subjects are scheduled at the same time, immediately report it to the Controller of Examinations (CoE) or your College Principal to request a change.
