Amardeep Singh Shergill Memorial College, Mukandpur (SBS Nagar) was taken over by Guru Nanak Dev University, Amritsar on July 4th, 2007 as a Constituent College with the mission to provide quality education to the rural youth. Commencement of professional courses like MCA, MBA and equipment of the college with modern educational tools under the dexterous stewardship of Prof.(Dr.) J.S. Sandhu Vice Chancellor GNDU Amritsar witness that the day is not far when the college will turn in to a rural model college.
