The University is at present located on the banks of the Tawi River. The university offers undergraduate, postgraduate and doctoral programs; it confers honorary degrees to persons of exceptional calibre. It also affiliates and recognizes colleges. More recently, the University has set up satellite campuses in Bhaderwah, Kathua and Poonch with an accent on vocational courses. Of these campuses, the Bhaderwah Campus at Sungli village is the first to have been formally inaugurated (by H.E. The President of India, Smt Pratibha Devisingh Patil).

The Campus Networking project took concrete shape when in November 2003 a robust networking backbone, based on multi-mode fiber-optic cabling spread over a distance of about 3 km extending to various departments of the university was commissioned using Cisco catalyst 4500 series central switch using backend switches (Cisco 2950) with their embedded firewalls Cisco 5215 and Cisco 515 and Intrusion Detection System (IDS) 4215 modules. These hardware firewalls safeguard the network from the outside threats and intrusions.
