Srinagar, June 07, 2025: Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha extended heartfelt congratulations to the University of Kashmir for achieving the prestigious A++ Grade by the National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC), securing an impressive Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) of 3.68 on a seven-point scale. This milestone places the university among India’s top academic institutions, reinforcing its role as a hub of knowledge and innovation.
In a historic achievement, both the University of Kashmir (CGPA 3.68) and the University of Jammu (CGPA 3.72) from Jammu and Kashmir Union Territory have attained the coveted A++ Grade. LG Sinha described this as a “rare phenomenon” in academic history, highlighting the exceptional feat of two universities from a single Union Territory earning this honor.
“This is a proud moment for J&K UT. The dedication of faculty members, Vice Chancellors, non-teaching staff, and contributions from India’s top higher education experts over the past five years have transformed J&K’s universities and colleges into Centres of Excellence,” LG Sinha stated.
The Lieutenant Governor also acknowledged the remarkable achievement in the colleges category, noting that Padma Shri Padma Sachdev Government College for Women, Gandhi Nagar, secured an A++ Grade in January 2024. He emphasized that these accomplishments reflect J&K’s commitment to excellence in education and innovation, aligning with the vision of building a Viksit J&K.
LG Sinha dedicated this success to the collective efforts of all stakeholders, underscoring J&K’s pursuit of academic excellence and its role as a model for transformative education in India.
