Awarded grade "A" by the NAAC, the University of Kashmir is located on the western side of the beautiful Dal Lake in the city of Srinagar which lies in the state of Jammu and Kashmir in India. Spread over convert|263|acre|km2 of lush green land, this unique combination of lake and mountain scenery, and the impressive calm and serene ambience provides a highly congenial atmosphere for the university to work as a premier institution of higher education and the scientific research. Although the university arose out of humble origins immediately after Independence in 1948, it was in 1956 the university was established, reorganized and was granted its status. Since then this academic institution has come a long way and has developed into a multi-faculty University, imparting instruction in various subjects in the Faculty of Arts, Languages, Natural Sciences, Social Sciences, Education, Commerce, Law, Medicine, Dental Surgery, Engineering, Music and Fine Arts and Non-formal Education, all manned by academics with considerable teaching and research experience, some of whom occupy places of eminence in the academic world. The University provides reasonably comfortable residential facilities - on first-come-first-served basis to the teaching and non-teaching staff as well as to students, male and female, in hostels. Besides the departmental libraries, the University has a centrally-heated central library, called Iqbal Library, with a vast collection of books, leading national and international journals and magazines and the recently installed internet facility. The location of the library, a magnificent edifice, at a walking distance from the various departments of the University, renders it easily accessible to teachers, research scholars and students of the University.
