University of Kashmir - Campuses

Campuses

The University of Kashmir, since its establishment, has been focused at Hazratbal and encompassing three adjacent areas viz. Amar Singh Bagh, Naseem Bagh and Mirza Bagh. This Campus is spread over 263 acres (1.06 km2).

A major part of Amar Singh Bagh and Naseem Bagh constitute the Hazratbal campus which is laid out on the north-eastern bank of Dal Lake. Earlier, many postgraduate departments, research and other centres were housed in Naseem Bagh. But, the university resolved to develop Naseem Bagh into a heritage site and thereafter, many departments were shifted to other areas of the Hazratbal campus. As of April 2013 Zakura Campus is being developed on 300 kanals of land in close proximity to Hazratbal campus to meet expansion requirements of the University.

Mirza Bagh or "University Town" constitutes buildings housing quarters for the university staff.

South Campus of the University established on 259 kanals of land at Fateh Garh, Anantnag was started in October, 2008. North Campus of the University on 559 kanals at Delina, Baramulla was started in December, 2009. Three more campuses at Kupwara, Kargil and Leh are coming up.
