The gunmen scaled the wall on Wednesday morning at the Bacha Khan University in Charsadda.
Death toll could rise as high as 40. All the attackers were killed.
"The operation is over and the university has been cleared," Pakistan Army spokesperson General Asim Bajwa told Reuters news agency.
Four gunmen opened fire at students and teachers in classrooms and hostels, according to police officials.
One faction of the Pakistan Taliban, the Dara Adma Khel splinter group, have claimed responsibility for the attack.
