Established in 1875, Mohindra College, located in Patiala, Punjab is the oldest institution of contemporary higher learning in Northern India.
Mohindra College was the first institution in Punjab to receive A+ grade from NAAC - the National Assessment and Accreditation Council - of the Government of India. The college offers undergraduate and graduate level education in basic sciences, political science, languages, history, public administration, commerce, computer applications, agriculture science, bio-technology and clinical diagonistics.
The college facilities include the Central Library, the Computer Center, the Health Center, the men's hostel, an auditorium with a seating capacity of 600, a botanical garden and elaborate sports infrastructure, particularly for Cricket and Swimming.
In 1882 the University of Punjab was established in Lahore, and Mohindra College became one of its first affiliated colleges. Following the partition of India in 1947, the college came under purview of the Punjab University, Chandigarh, and later in 1962, under the Punjabi University of Patiala.

The College offers financial assistance to the economically disadvantaged sections of society. Undergraduate tuition is exempt for girls.
Women represent over half of the 112 member faculty while about a third of the faculty holds doctoral and post-doctoral credentials. Mohindra College is headed by Principal Dr Sudeep Bhangoo.
Principal from 1910 to 1914, Edmund Candler was also a noted novelist and travel-writer. His novels 'Siri Ram: Revolutionist' and 'Abdication' are set partly in a college in the fictional town of Gandeshwar, which is probably based on Mohindra College.
