Dera Ghazi Khan (DG Khan) in south-western Punjab is served by the Virtual University of Pakistan through its network of local campuses. VU, headquartered in Lahore, was set up by the federal government in 2002 as a public, HEC-recognised online university with support campuses in well over a hundred cities. This page explains how the model works in Dera Ghazi Khan (Punjab).
About the Campus
DG Khan lies at the meeting point of Punjab, Balochistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, and higher education options in the district are limited compared to the big cities. VU’s model, where lectures are delivered online and a local campus provides computer labs and administrative help, is a practical option for students who want an HEC-recognised degree without relocating to Multan or Lahore.
VU is a federally chartered public university built for online education. Faculty record lectures that are streamed through the LMS and broadcast on VU’s TV channels; students interact with tutors through discussion boards. City campuses are not teaching colleges – they provide labs, admission support and exam logistics.
Campuses in Dera Ghazi Khan may be either VU-run campuses or Private Virtual Campuses (PVCs) operated by affiliated private colleges. VU keeps an official, province-wise campus directory at vu.edu.pk/pvcs showing each campus name, code and address. Use that directory to find the current Dera Ghazi Khan campus nearest to you.

Admissions at this Campus
All admissions are processed centrally by VU’s Admission Section in Lahore. Applicants from Dera Ghazi Khan apply online at vu.edu.pk/apply, selecting a local campus on the form; the campus then serves as their base for lab access and examinations. VU warns applicants to pay the processing fee and semester dues only through its official banking channels. Admission sessions open twice a year, in Fall and Spring. Full details are on our VU Undergraduate Admissions 2026-27 page.
Facilities
VU’s official pages do not publish facility details for each individual campus. In general, a VU campus or PVC is expected to provide a computer lab with internet access for watching lectures and attempting online assessments, a notice board, and staff for admission and examination support. Hostels are not part of the VU model; confirm what the Dera Ghazi Khan campus offers before relying on it.
