The University of Jammu and Kashmir was founded in the year 1948. In the year 1969
it was bifurcated into two full-fledged Universities: University of Kashmir at Srinagar
and University of Jammu at Jammu. The University of Kashmir is situated at Hazratbal
in Srinagar. It is flanked by the world famous Dal Lake on its eastern side and
Nigeen Lake on the western side. The Main Campus of the University spread over 247
acres of land is divided into three parts – Hazratbal Campus, Naseem Bagh Campus
and Mirza Bagh Campus (serving residential purpose). Additional land has been acquired
at Zakura near the main campus for further expansion of the University. The tranquil
ambience of the Campus provides the right kind of atmosphere for serious study and
research.
