established with headquarter at Shalimar in August, 1982 through an Act of Jammu & Kashmir
State Legislature with its jurisdiction throughout the State of Jammu and Kashmir. However,
an amendment in Sher-e-Kashmir University of Agricultural Sciences and Technology (Act
1982) was promulgated through SRO-408 dated 20-09-1999, wherein SKUAST was
bifurcated in SKUAST-J & SKUAST-K with restriction of the territorial jurisdiction to
Jammu and Kashmir Divisions, respectively. The SKUAST-K is a multi-campus institution with

campuses viz. Shalimar, Shuhama,Wadura, Rangil, Benihama & Mirgund. Almost all the
programmes of the study offered by the University at Graduate and Postgraduate levels are
accredited by Accreditation Board of Indian Council of Agricultural Research, New Delhi.
The University has excellent infrastructure and facilities for teaching, research and
extension education in Agriculture and allied sciences with state of the art laboratories. These
