The University of Jammu and Kashmir, established in 1948, was divided into two distinct universities in 1969: the University of Kashmir in Srinagar and the University of Jammu in Jammu. The University of Kashmir is beautifully located in Hazratbal, flanked by the renowned Dal Lake to the east and Nigeen Lake to the west. The expansive 247-acre main campus includes the Hazratbal Campus, Naseem Bagh Campus, and Mirza Bagh Campus, the latter serving residential purposes. With additional land at Zakura, the university is set for further expansion, providing a serene environment conducive to academic and research pursuits.
Over the years, the University of Kashmir has grown significantly, establishing Satellite Campuses in Anantnag (South Campus), Baramulla (North Campus), and Kupwara, making higher education more accessible to remote areas in the Kashmir valley. A Sub-Office in Jammu serves students from outside the valley.
The university is dedicated to creating an intellectually stimulating environment that enhances the educational, economic, scientific, business, and cultural landscape of the region. Offering a diverse range of programs across major faculties—Arts, Business & Management Studies, Education, Law, Applied Sciences & Technology, Biological Sciences, Physical & Material Sciences, Social Sciences, Medicine, Dentistry, Engineering, Oriental Learning, and Music & Fine Arts—the University of Kashmir continually introduces innovative programs to meet societal needs and student demands.
Recognized for its commitment to excellence, the University of Kashmir has been re-accredited as a Grade-A+ institution by the National Assessment & Accreditation Council (NAAC) of India, reflecting its high standards in teaching and research.
