Attendance- If your attendance percentage falls under HOD and VC limit, you can expect to be condoned. But if your percentage falls below an absolute limit, you will be disbarred to attend exams for that year or semester. Study Materials- Get your syllabus as soon as possible. Consult with your teachers to get recommendations regarding study material. The syllabus also comes with a list of recommended books. You can get books from your departmental library, or Allama Iqbal Library. Uniform- Students of IMBA and BA LLB are required to wear uniforms. If you are from these courses follow the uniform rule. Library- The Allama Iqbal library has a great collection of books. Make a library ID, as soon as you join the university. You can borrow 3 books for 20 days.

Which is the best university in Kashmir, Kashmir University or Cluster University?

I have a few friends from both universities and according to their reviews, Kashmir University is definitely the best in Kashmir. Especially for the non-management courses. The quality of academics at the institute is unparalleled. Although the business school is treated as the crown of the institute there is a lack of entrepreneurial minds and placement opportunities. This is the only reason the university lags behind for management courses. However, other streams like Engineering, Medical, Arts, Humanities, Computer Science are great. The campus is located at the heart of Srinagar, near the famous Dal Lake. The campus is green and has urban infrastructure. Overall, the University of Kashmir can be a great option for pursuing your course.

What is the scope of integrated (BBA+MBA) from Kashmir University? Should I go for it?

I have a few friends from the University of Kashmir. According to their experience, it is not a good option for pursuing an integrated BBA-MBA course. After completing the degree, you will want good placement opportunities. However, the University of Kashmir does not offer any placement opportunities. You will end up searching for bank jobs. Also, BBA-MBA programs need a lot of exposure. You will get little to no exposure at Kashmir University. So, if you are really interested in doing a BBA-MBA program, it’s best to look for better alternatives with decent placement and exposure.

Why isn’t Jammu University as prosperous as Kashmir University?

Here are some possible reasons that can be ascribed to the lower rank of Jammu University. The quality of education offered by the university needs improvement. The university needs to provide proper guidance and counseling to students regarding placements and internships. Lake of proper administration is another contributing factor. Kashmir University has a better faculty base compared to Jammu University. These are the major reasons why Jammu University falls behind Kashmir University.

What are the best things for University of Kashmir students to do on weekends?

Kashmir University is the best university in Kashmir. In terms of academics and faculty base, the university is unparalleled. I have a few friends from the university and they mentioned some of the things they do during weekends. If you are a hosteler, you can catch up on sleep. Enjoy tea at the famous Mir tea stall. Go for a walk on the banks of Dal Lake with your friends. You can visit the famous Mughal Gardens like Nishat Shalimar, Harwan. You can play games of your liking on the Naseem Bagh campus. There are many eateries, and street food corners around the campus, that you can explore. These are some of the activities that you can engage in during weekends.

What is the highest package of MBA students in Kashmir university?

Kashmir University does not offer any kind of placement opportunities. Although they do help toppers secure internship opportunities with banks. The average salary of students who completed an MBA from Kashmir University is around 1 LPA. After one year of internship in banks, you will earn around 15-24 thousand per month.
