Background

Islamic University of Science & Technology (IUST) is a state university situated in Awantipora, in the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir, India. The university has been set up as a centre for higher learning for the people of the Jammu and Kashmir State and its neighbouring regions. It is recognised by the UGC and AICTE and is a member of AIU. It was established through an act passed by the Jammu and Kashmir State Legislative Assembly in November 2005. Islamic University is located 25 km from the summer capital of the state, Srinagar. The chancellor of the university currently is LG Manoj Sinha. The executive council, chaired by the Vice Chancellor, is the executive authority of the university. The strong science and technology curriculum is complemented by a School of Humanities and Social Sciences. The university focuses on career development and overall personality enhancement and tries to ensure education for leadership. Since the state of Jammu and Kashmir was turned into a Union territory after 5 August 2019, the Lieutenant Governor (LG) of the UT has assumed the role of chancellor of the university. The Jammu and Kashmir administration has recently transferred 1350 kanals of land near campus, where the university has planned to make solar park, biodiversity park and other infrastructure projects. In 2021 the university got the international standard athletic track. On January 1, 2025, IUST became the first state university in Kashmir to get a license from Ministry of Communication to establish a community radio station on its campus.
