University of Gujrat (UOG) is a public sector university chartered by the Government of Punjab and located on the Hafiz Hayat Campus in Gujrat, Punjab, Pakistan, with a wholly owned sub-campus in Mandi Bahauddin.

The university employs 647 faculty members and is accredited by the Higher Education Commission (HEC), the federal regulator for Pakistani degree-granting institutions.

UOG's product and technology stack centers on a digital campus infrastructure that includes a Learning Management System (UOG LMS), a Campus Management System (UOG CMS), and the MY UoG mobile application paired with the UoG SmartAssist AI assistant, both launched in June 2026. Beyond academic delivery, UOG operates the Office of Research, Innovation and Commercialization (ORIC), established in 2011 and ranked 7th among Pakistani university ORICs; the Technology and Innovation Support Center (TISC), which provides patent search and IP filing services in partnership with HEC, IPO Pakistan, and WIPO; the Business Incubation Center (BIC), which has incubated 15 companies and graduated 13 startups; and the Poverty Research Centre (PRC), aligned with UN SDG 1.

UOG maintains 9 international university partnerships (including University of Oslo, George Mason University, University of Leicester, and the Chinese Academy of Sciences) and 12+ institutional linkages.

UOG's business model combines recurring tuition and academic fees with managed government funding from HEC and the Punjab government. The go-to-market is direct-to-consumer: students apply through the academic admissions process and engage through on-campus, sub-campus, and digital channels. Distribution includes the main campus, the Mandi Bahauddin sub-campus, the UOG LMS and CMS portals, the MY UoG App, and an E-Rozgaar Center delivering vocational short courses. Financial assistance reached 1,802 students, and 34 active student clubs and societies support retention. The university is led by Vice Chancellor Prof. Dr. Zahoor ul Haq and operates under the Punjab Higher Education Department with the Chief Minister of Punjab serving as Chancellor.
