From the Vice Chancellor

Dear Students,
It is a matter of great pride and joy for me that University of Azad Jammu & Kashmir has
completed another year in its journey towards academic excellence. The University is a multicampus and multi-discipline institution established to cater for the higher education needs and
research in the area of Azad Jammu & Kashmir and act as examining body for its constituent units
and educational institutions affiliated with it.
The University is successful in its mission of delivering quality higher education. Students pursue higher studies in a disciplined and
peaceful atmosphere prevailing at all campuses. The University is adequately staffed with highly qualified faculty. The University is taking
every possible step to promote curricular and co-curricular activities.
The University is providing educational and research opportunities in 55 degree programs both at under Graduate and post Graduate
levels. The well-equipped laboratories, rich libraries and furnished classrooms in peaceful and conducive atmosphere help students
elevate themselves in the field of learning, research and development. I am confident that the excellent teaching, learning and research
atmosphere will spur the talents of the students enabling them to compete at all levels in a competitive job market.
By utilizing best efforts opportunities are being provided for faculty and students to update their knowledge through interaction of
national and international institutions by arranging seminars, workshops and conferences. Recently held linguistics and International
Kashmir Conferences provided a platform to the eminent scholars from across the country and abroad to deliberate, share their views
and ideas on Kashmir Issue. Recently opened campus at Neelum will help the youth of this area to explore the wealth of, far flung but
enriched with natural resources of forests, lush green sky high mountains, fresh water, minerals and biological diversity. Neelum is
also famus for Centuries old Great Budha University having rich archealogical and cultural heritage, will staitate the thirst of students
interested in thsis heritage from home and abroad.
The University of Azad Jammu & Kashmir is devoted to students welfare and has established guardian councils in its various departments
to assess the problems of the students and help them resolve. The need based scholarship program has been launched to support the
needy and talented students so that they may not be deprived of higher education facilities for want of financial resources. Opening of
career counselling office is also under way to help the students for internship, higher studies abroad and job opportunities.
Our University has laid emphasis on developing collaborative academic linkages with higher educational institutions. In this regard, we
have signed Memoranda of Understanding with a number of organizations. The construction of King Abdullah Campus at Chattar Klass
is progressing well and with its completion, we will have sufficient infrastructure to provide more facilities to the students.
I am proud of my faculty, staff members and students who helped this University attain the present academic excellence.
We are striving for excellence and God willing, we will succeed in our mission.

lights on mountains appear like little stars and you feel for a while as if the sky has been turned upside down. The cultural life of the city
is as varied as its landscape. If you walk through the city, this contrast becomes too obvious to escape notice.

The University of Azad Jammu & Kashmir affirms that the central purpose of a Faculty is the pursuit of truth, the discovery of new
knowledge through scholarly research, the teaching and overall development of students. However, the establishment and maintenance
of a community where there is freedom to teach and to learn is dependent on maintaining an appropriate sense of order that allows for
the pursuit of these objectives in an environment that is both safe and free of invidious disruption.
Rules and regulations are necessary to mark the boundaries of this needed order.
PREAMBLE

manner appropriate to the Universitys mission as an institution of
higher education. Students are obligated to refrain from acts that

normative outside of University, are not necessarily acceptable at
UAJ&K and shall not interfere in overall academic conduct. All
shall be treated equally and be guided by the current code. This
Code of Conduct may from time to time be revised and amended.

statement of the Universitys expectations of students in respect of

Quality is the mean through which an institution can

guarantee with confidence and certainty, that the standards of
its educational provision are being maintained and enhanced.
Quality has become an in-expendable part of augmentation
plan of Higher Education espoused by the Higher Education
Commission.
Quality in higher education is a dynamic entity which is the

outcome of interaction among many factors including inter alia,
leadership, quality of faculty and students, infrastructure facilities, research and learning environment, governance, strategic planning,
assessment procedures, and market force.
University of AJ&K is moving ahead on the path of tremendous progress in higher learning sector using human and financial resources
to increase the access to programs and using all cautions to assure quality of the increased base of higher learning programs.
The Higher Education Commission has included QEC of University of Azad Jammu and Kashmir in its Phase-IV of 24 QECs. HEC is
now ranking the QECs on basis of performance. QEC has initiated functioning at all Departments of Main Campus. The self evaluation
system is being introduced in the university and has completed many Self Assessment Reports (SARs), implementation Plan Summaries
and Assessment Team Visits of the Departments of main campus. Numerous fruitful feedbacks received from Assessment Team experts
for improvement. Our motive is to enhance the quality of education compatible to the international standard. QEC is also underway
to take the feedback from Students, Alumni, Employers, Teachers and Research students online for better comments/feedbacks and
comparison with other QECs of public sector Universities of Pakistan. Mr. Lall Hussain, Assistant Director is working to streamline the
online evaluation process for swift and precise analysis of data to promulgate the concept.
The Quality Enhancement Cell at University of Azad Jammu and Kashmir has spread its functionality and is seeking Institutional
membership for collaboration with International bodies like Asia Pacific Quality Assurance network (APQN). Moreover the assessment
and QA concept is started in Elementary Colleges to assess the ADE Programs. The ADE programs have been started in collaboration
with Pre-STEP (USAID), AJK Government (DCRD) and are assessed by QEC University of Azad Jammu and Kashmir.
SELF-ASSESSMENT PROCEDURE
In this section the procedure for conducting a self-assessment is described. Each academic program shall undergo a self-assessment (SA)
every two years (assessment cycle). The Quality Enhancement Cell (QEC) is responsible for planning, coordinating and following up
on the self-assessment (SA) activities. The steps of the procedure for SA are as follows: The QEC initiates the SA one semester prior to
the end of the assessment cycle through the Vice Chancellor / Rector Office in which the program is offered. However, if the program is
undergoing the SA for the first time, the department will be given one academic year for preparation.
Upon receiving the initiation letter the department shall form a program team (PT). The PT will be responsible for preparing a selfassessment report (SAR) about the program under consideration over a period of one semester. They will be the contact group during
Prospectus 2013
49
the assessment period. The department shall submit the SAR

to the QEC through the concerned Dean. The QEC reviews the
SAR within one month to ensure that it is prepared according
to the required format. The Vice Chancellor / Rector forms a
program assessment team (AT) in consultation with the QEC
recommendations within one month. The AT comprises of 2-3
faculty members from within or outside the university. The AT
must have at least one expert in the area of the assessed program.
The QEC plans and schedules the AT visit period in coordination
with the department that the AT conducts the assessment, submits
a report and presents its findings in an exit meeting that shall be
attended by the QEC, Dean and PT and faculty members. The
QEC shall submit an executive summary on the AT findings to
the Vice Chancellor / Rector. The Department shall prepare and
submit an implementation plan to QEC based on the AT findings.
The plan must include AT findings and the corrective actions to
be taken, assignment of responsibility and a time frame for such
actions. Table A.2 in Appendix A. The QEC shall follow up on the
implementation plan to ensure departments are adhering to the implementation plan. The academic department shall inform the QEC
each time a corrective action is implemented. QEC shall review the implementation plan once a semester to assess the progress of
implementation. Table A.2 will provide the QEC with guidelines for monitoring the implementation.
Membership of International Bodies

To further empowering Self-Assessment process, the QEC has acquired membership of International Quality Assurance Bodies such as
Asia Pacific Quality Assurance Network (APQN) in 2012 and The Talloires Network, The Tufts University in 2013.
QEC OBJECTIVES
QEC is also responsible to develop procedures for:
Approval of new programs

market and research endeavours.
To provide an aura for increasing the base
of change agents.
On realizing the importance of chemistry in the
nation building process, university launched
the department of chemistry in 1984 at
Muzaffarabad Campus. For the first few years,
only MSc Programme was offered in the areas of
Physical, Inorganic, Organic and Biochemistry.
The department steadily catered for the
growing demands of the society by providing
skilled manpower. With proper attention given
to the education sector, the university also
benefited from and the department started
flourishing. Qualified faculty is acquired and
well equipped laboratories are established to

At present, department offers three Programmes leading to
MSc, MPhil and PhD degrees with specializations in Physical,
Inorganic, Organic, Analytical and Biochemistry.
The courses offered at various levels are tailored according to
the requirements of that particular degree with a view that the
graduating student may become a reliable tool of the dynamic
society.
Seminars and workshops are a regular feature of the academic
activities which not only enable the students to learn more about
the cutting-edge developments in the field of chemistry but also to
inculcate organizational and presentation skills in them.
AWARDS & HONOURS

The best parameter by which the level of academics and research
of a department may be measured is the recognition of expertise
of its faculty by independent agencies. In this regard, we take the
pride of being the only department whose faculty member has
been decorated with the coveted civil award Sitara-e-Imtiaz by
the Government of Pakistan. Similarly, six faculty members have
been declared as The Best University Teacher by HEC, Pakistan
and UAJK in the recent years. Salam Teacher Award has also been
conferred upon to two of the teachers. Numerous gold medals at
national level to various faculty members further strengthen the
list of appreciation. This achievement speaks voluminously about
the dedication of our faculty towards academia.
RESEARCH AREAS
The faculty has a keen interest in research and many of them
are included in the list of Productive Scientists of Pakistan,
published by Pakistan Science Foundation, (PSF). The research
areas are diverse but applied and include natural products,
metal extractions, coordination chemistry, surface chemistry,
environmental chemistry, bio-analytical chemistry, analytical
chemistry, organic synthesis and sonochemistry.

JOB OPPORTUNITIES
The schemes of study for all Programmes are in accordance with
the guidelines of HEC and hence are acceptable to all, either the
employers or the higher education/ research institutions. The
major beneficiary of our graduates is the education industry
and hence we pleasantly take the responsibility of spreading the
education from primary to university level. At the same time,
the department has been feeding institutions like HEJ Research
Institute in Chemistry, Quaid-i-Azam University, PINSTECH,
University of Arid and Agriculture, University of Punjab. Still
others are absorbed in the multi-dimensional job market of the
country. Likewise, a lot number of students are currently pursuing
their PhD studies with flying colours at various foreign and inland universities.
PROGRAMMES AT A GLANCE
MSc PROGRAMME
This two year Programme under semester system has been
introduced since September 2004. In first two semesters,
courses for Physical, Inorganic and Organic chemistry are
compulsory while students have the option to choose from either
Biochemistry or Analytical chemistry. Being conscious of the
relevance of mathematics and computers with chemistry, Applied
Mathematics and Computer for Chemists are also offered as
compulsory courses in 1st and 2nd semester, respectively. In third
semester, students may opt for any of the specialization fields
offered by the department. The significant trait of the Programme
is the blending of at least one course from section other than that
of specialization, in third and fourth semesters each. This helps
to broaden the knowledge base and the vision of the students.
Research, though a stronghold of the department is offered as
an optional course on the basis of merit and interest because we
believe that RESEARCH IS NOT A MERE FUN. The students who
may not get the chance for the research are offered an advanced
Prospectus 2013
65
practical course of equal credit hours. The course is designed

in a way that the students are exposed to applied and advanced
practical training in each area of specialization for a stipulated
period of time. The strategy helps in widening lab-training in all
the disciplines of chemistry. The peculiarity of the scheme is the
balance between the times, the students have to spend in taught
courses and lab courses.
ELIGIBILITY
The students seeking admission in MSc Programme must have
graduated from an HEC recognized university with chemistry
in any science combination excluding Geography. The admission
is purely merit based determined on previous academic
standings.

INTRODUCTION
Physics (Greek: physikos) is concerned
with those aspects of nature which can
be understood in a fundamental way in
terms of elementary principles and laws;
formerly called natural philosophy. It
covers the tiniest like quarks in a proton to
the largest like the universe of which our
solar system is a minute part. Its original
aim even covering this huge range is to
understand the structure of the natural
world and explain natural phenomena. It
is the goal of the Department of Physics
to contribute to the understanding and
applications of the fascinating aspects of
nature, and to offer a solid and attractive
curriculum to our young graduates.
The Department of Physics, established
in 1986 was initially situated at old
Campus of the University of Azad
Jammu and Kashmir, Muzaffarabad (now
known as city campus of the university).
Subsequently it was shifted to its newly
constructed building at Chehla Bandi
Campus in 2003.

THE SCANNING ELECTRON MICROSCOPE

(SEM)
The Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) is located in the City
campus of the university at Muzaffarabad. The facility supports
in-house research and provides a service to the Researcher
from Physics, Material Science, Nanoscience as well as to all
departments within University of Azad Jammu and Kashmir.
Industries, Research & Development Organizations and all
Educational Institutions are also allowed to avail the facility
against the payment of some charges.
We have Jeol JSM-6510LV scanning electron microscope (SEM)
also called as environmental SEM for fast characterization of
samples having structure size upto 3nm and enables observation
of specimens up to 150mm in diameter. Jeol JSM-6510LV is
the one of the latest model in it class in the country having no
parallel example at the moment, its graphical user interface (GUI)
system is implemented on Windows Vista operating system. The
selectable low vacuum mode allows for observation of specimen
that cannot be viewed at high vacuum due to excessive water
content or because they have a non-conductive surface. With a
high resolution of 3.0nm at 30kV (high vacuum) and 4.0nm at
30kV (low vacuum), the JSM-6510LV delivers amazing clarity of
the finest structures having the magnification from x5 to x300,000
times with fine focal depth. It has dual live image display of the
secondary electron image (SEI) and a back scattered composition
image (BSCI) allows the user to contrast and compare specific
details. An energy dispersive X-ray spectrometer (EDS) provides
elemental analysis (hopefully will be added in the system in near
future). The Facility also has the necessary support equipment

THE FOURIER TRANSFORM INFRARED (FTIR)
SPECTROMETER
Infra-red spectroscopy probes the composition of a sample.
Chemical bonds have characteristic frequencies at which they
vibrate. They can be set on vibrations by illuminating the sample
with Infra-Red light at the right frequency. The IR spectrum of
a compound possessing such bonds shows absorption bands at
these frequencies.The collection of different absorption bands can
be used to identify the tested compound.
Platinum and Gold Sputter coating system with highly pure

Argon gas.
Carbon taping, Graphite and Silver conducting epoxies/
paints setups.
The PerkinElmer Spectrum 100 Series FT-IR spectrometers

are the gold standard in IR spectroscopy for materials testing,
academia and research applications. This equipment is equipped
with Universal Attenuated Total Reflectance (UATR). The use of
ATR eliminates in many cases the need for sample preparation
or at least simplifies the procedures. It is also useful for strongly
absorbing samples which cannot be measured by infrared
transmission spectroscopy. To protect the sensitive optics and
minimize the contaminated spectra with unwanted background,
system is backed by highly, pure Nitrogen gas and in-house with
dehumidifier.
Reflected light microscopes with digital photographic

facilities for specimen documentation.
Sample preparation including impregnation, cutting,
grinding and polishing equipment (will be added in near
future).

INTRODUCTION
Department of Zoology is one of the most active departments in the University of Azad Jammu and Kashmir Muzaffarabad. Zoology
as a subject is multidisciplinary in nature, involving study of organisms and their genetic, morphological and physiological attributes,
their surrounding environment, and their role in conservation of environment. Zoology is a combination of various disciplines such
as Molecular Biology, Biochemistry, Biotechnology, Toxicology, Genetics, Physiology, Ecology, Developmental Biology, Microbiology,
Parasitology, Entomology, Freshwater Biology, Fisheries, and Wildlife etc. This subject has significant role in human resources development,
food security, environmental
conservation,
sustainable
development and ultimately in
alleviation of poverty.
The department has a unique
feature of degree programs, as it
presents a balanced blend of the
classical as well as modern trends
of the new era. These programs
range from invertebrate Zoology
to Biotechnology. Every discipline
has a unique importance in its
place. For example, Biotechnology
is an emerging broad field that
employs an industrial technology
on the biological synthesis of
important compounds specially
proteins, genetic engineering of
the animals etc. Microbiology

represents the basic knowledge of viruses, bacteria and microorganisms which are mostly pathogenic and its impact on the other
related field is immense i.e. agriculture, food pollution etc. As for
as the importance of Physiology, Endocrinology and Toxicology
is concerned, every person is keen enough to know how its body
work and meets the changing demands. To keep pace with rapid
advances in the health sciences, Physiology, Endocrinology and
Toxicology are very important. Our environment plays a key role
in maintaining our good health. To keep it free form pollution
caused by industrial effluent, ways of bioremediation (removal
or degradation of environmental pollutants or toxic materials by
living organisms) are applied, and for this, study of Bioremediation
and environmental Biotechnology, Environmental Biology is
obligatory.
Biotechnology and Genetic Engineering (NIBGE), National

Institute of Agriculture and Biology (NIAB), Worldwide Fund
for Nature (WWF), International Union for the Conservation
of Nature and Natural Resources (IUCN) and various other
UN organizations. Besides these fields, they are also working in
various educational institutions, administrative and management
departments and organizations. In short, the students graduating
in the above offered programs are in great demand countrywide
as well as internationally.
The State of Jammu and Kashmir is extremely rich in wildlife

resources and several threats are operating to deplete these
resources without any sustainable development. Accordingly,
some wild animals have become threatened which if not protected
would soon become extinct. There is an intense need to explore
these precious resources to manage them for their sustainable
utilization to uplift the socioeconomic conditions of the local
communities.
Keeping in view the national and global trends the department
has currently initiated the BS-4 year degree program in Zoology.
The department admits under graduate and graduate students for
BS-4 Year, M.Sc., M.Phil. and Ph.D. degree programs in Zoology.

MBA, 6th Semester
I can honestly say that, my time so far, at UAJ&K has shaped my entire thought process. I had no clear goals coming
into the MBA program. I knew simply that I loved the field of Business Administration, and despite not knowing
where this love would take me, I followed my passion nonetheless. In my last two years at UAJ&K, I worked very
closely with faculty members of the department; their guidance and encouragement helped me to formulate my
future plans. The faculty of the department is competent and motivated to achieve excellence in every sphere of academia.

INTRODUCTION
The Department of Education, currently Institute of Education, was
established in 2009 in response to the growing needs for teacher
education in the State of Azad Jammu and Kashmir. Another
strong motivation for launching Department of Education was
to rid the teacher training of sham education degrees awarded by
those institutions who had turned the teacher education into a
tool of making money.
The university took it upon itself as a national responsibility to
serve the education by producing graduates who would be well-

versed in their professional skills and are armed with a wide

repertoire of techniques to deliver the quality education, a catalyst
to revolutionize education in the country.
To firm up the Institute of Education, the Strategic Plan 2021 has
been developed. The plan is a collaborative initiative with the
assistance of Pre-STEP. A university Task Force was formed to
drive the development of the plan. The plan after carrying out a
situation analysis of the Institute contemplated what was required
to turn it into one of the leading institutions of the country.

PhD in linguistics
JOB OPPORTUNITIES
The criterion for admission to MA in English is graduation at least

in Second Division with English Language and preferably English
literature. For MPhil /PhD Programme, there is a requirement of
entry test and NTS is also mandatory.
English over many decades has been functioning as a Lingua

Franca world over and is likely to enjoy this status for another 50
to 100 years. In view of this importance, the career opportunities
for those graduating in this subject are vast. There is no denying
the fact that Linguistics and English Language Teaching have also
gained a great deal of importance. The Department is fully alive to
these modern developments and needs and has, therefore, devised
a course, which can meet all these requirements. The course we
offer at Masters level is unique and has no parallel in the country.
We aim to combine all the three subjects in balanced complex
where every component has an adequate proportion of share.

The mission of the Institute is to prepare the future generation of scholars in Kashmir
related multi-disciplinary fields. The new courses have been designed for those desiring
on a social science approach to South Asia and Kashmir in particular. The program
offers inter-disciplinary training and exhaustive acquaintance to the history, politics,
international relations, languages, art and design, archeology, economy, culture and
society of the State of Jammu & Kashmir. The program is tailored to meet the needs of
individual centering careers, students preparing for entry to M. Phil and doctoral programs and those who want to gain regional expertise. In addition to
the regular curriculum/courses, the experience of the students is enhanced by hosting regular symposia, and lecture series.
These extra-curricular events provide an opening of an innovative and creative learning and also develop deep inter-disciplinary understanding among
the students. We understand that globalization is a fact and Kashmir studies needs to advance linkages with globally inter-connected world. We recognize
that War, violence, and injustice are not inescapable but these can be overwhelmed by bringing a
positive change in attitudes at different levels. Keeping in view the dominant scenario, we have
introduced some modules of Peace Studies in the 4th semester of M.Sc. Program. This program will
be run in collaboration with Peace and Conflict Studies, Tokyo University of Foreign Studies (PCS)
Japan. Recently, we have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Tokyo University of
Foreign Studies (PCS) Japan. Under the MoU, both institutions will work jointly to create academic
programs of mutual interest. It is also decided that both parties will start mutual academic and
scientific activities, through the exchange of supervision for student research and any further initiative
towards sharing academic curriculum including the exchange of faculties and students. The Institute
of Kashmir Studies (IKS) is in a process to develop more linkages with different universities of the
academically advanced countries.
At IKS, we have recently started M. Phil program and intend to launch Ph. D program in near future.
It aims to understand and address the root causes of the problems and to seek non-violent ways to
transform conflict and end injustice. The new modules have been structured in a way, which allow
students to develop an advanced and critical understanding of Kashmir issue and approaches to
conflict resolution and peace building. At the institute of Kashmir studies you will have an opportunity
to engage with these issues in a challenging but friendly and supportive environment. You will study
with academic staff engaged in practical and policy related research work across the region both in an
individual capacity and with many different governmental and non-governmental organizations. It is
our hope that our graduates will become future leaders of our new generation.

INTRODUCTION
Sociology is the scientific study of society. It covers all aspects of society like human behavior, social institutions, social action, social
change & social problems. Sociologists investigate structure of groups, organizations and societies and the way people interact within
these contexts. Since human behavior is shaped by social factors, subject matter of sociology ranges from intimate family to a hostile mob,
from the division of society on the basis of race, gender and social class to shared beliefs of a common culture and from sociology of social
work to that of sports. In fact, few fields have such relevance and scope for research, theory and application of knowledge.
Sociology provides many distinctive perspectives on
the world, generating new ideas and criticizing old
ones. It also offers a number of research techniques
that can be applied virtually to all aspects of social
life like emotions, family, education, street crimes,
delinquency, war & peace, etc.
Sociology is gaining more and more importance
with the passage of time because society is
becoming more complex and new social problems
are emerging. Trained sociologists are the need of
the hour for maintaining the smooth functioning
of social systems, social life and society.

M.Sc ECONOMICS
The Department of Economics offers two year degree programme in Economics. The M.Sc Economics programme includes compulsory courses, optional courses, workshops and conference courses. A research project of 6 credits, practical training, and comprehensive oral examination are compulsory. The M.Sc Programme in Economics is designed to develop both economic reasoning and
constructing and estimating economic models through the use of econometrics and other quantitative techniques. The foundation
for intelligent economic reasoning is laid with courses in Microeconomics and Macroeconomic Theory; Statistics and Econometrics create the foundation for empirical analysis. These skills are then further enhanced through a diverse array of courses. These
courses serve to provide detailed knowledge of specific areas of economics but, equally important, provide additional experience in
economic modelling and econometric estimation. Our objective is for students to complete the programme with the skills to develop
and estimate models designed to address the questions they are faced with in their professional activities.
