who intend to compete for admissions to various courses offered by our University during the academic year 2012-13. IUST, appeared on the academic horizon of J&K State six years ago, and in a short span of its existence it is emerging as a quality institution with enough potential to contribute significantly and qualitatively to higher education scenario in the State. Well planned strategy coupled with persistent and motivated efforts from all the stake holders have enabled it to get due recognition. We plan to increase the intake capacity in existing courses and institute further demand-driven courses to contribuite for increasing the Gross Enrolment Ratio (GER) of the State. From this year we are starting two new courses in School of Technology namely B.Tech Electrical Engineering and MSc IT. While we improve quantity, we ensure that quality does not suffer at all. In that direction, besides augmenting our own resources, we are in touch with other sister institutions for cooperation to promote academic excellence. The university has signed a tripartite MoU with University of Delhi and
T is my pleasure to extend a warm welcome to the candidates
University of Kashmir on 20 th October 2011 in the benign presence of Mr Omar Abdullah, Honble Chief Minister, Chancellor IUST who has been a constant source of inspiration to us. Besides, we have signed various Memoranda of Understanding (MoU) and entered into academic arrangements with other national and international institutions like Tokyo University of Foreign Studies, Japan, Shiv Nadar University, Noida, etc We are also in continuous process of developing relationship with the corporate world and are in constant touch with the companies and industries for trainings, internships and placement of our students. I am grateful to various National institutions like PAU Ludhiana, CIPHET Ludhiana, GNDU Amritsar, NDRI Karnal for their support in this regard. Our efforts to develop relation with corporate world got invigorated with the support of Confederation of Indian Industries (CII ) which enabled our students undergo trainings and internships in world class companies across the country.
During the year 2011-2012 there was a marked improvement in the revenue generation through student fee. The State Government and WAKF Board also reasonably funded the university during this period for infrastructural development which I thankfully acknowledge. This has enabled the university to start construction of two academic blocks and the construction of OBC hostel is in the anvil. To ensure constant flow of funds to the University for Development, UGC is persistently being pursued to get the university listed under 12(b) of the UGC Act. For economically underprivileged students, AICTE approved fee waiver scheme has been put in place from the year 2011-12. Besides, the university vigorously pursues the various scholarship programmes enabling 103 students to get scholarships from agencies like Ministry of Minority Affairs, Social Welfare Department and Indian Oil Corporation.
Feedback from the experts who have interacted with our students within or outside the University stand testimony to the fact that IUST has managed to earn a name as a seat of learning where academic standards are high and quality education is paramount. I am sure that in view of the support and encouragement that we are getting from the State Government, WAKF Board, Universities and other educational institutional across the country in general and J&K State in particular, IUST will become one of the best universities in the country in the years to come. I, once again, welcome all the students who succeed in getting admission to our University. I also wish all the best to our students who will complete their academic programmes this year and hope that they will prove valuable assets for the society and make IUST family proud.

International Centre for Spiritual Studies (ICSS) has been established to conduct and promote studies and research on Spirituality in order to attain contentment and to provide an appropriate spiritual response to the growing ideological conflicts, and cultural & intellectual challenges of the fast dehumanizing world. ICSS is purely academic & research oriented Centre with a mandate of working on numerous necessitating and burning issues vis a vis spiritual vacuum which a human being is facing at present. ICSS is having a immense potential of emerging as the Centre of distinction and excellence and will not only strengthen the legacy of our ancestors but will also become a hub of intellectual growth in this region in order to emerge as a coherent representative of spiritual enlightenment. The basic aim is to create an arena which not only will be an inspirational unit of peace and tranquillity but will also be an epitome of unique discourse in introducing the importance of moral and spiritual values amongst our students, in order to facilitate them to possess strong features of contentment in their lives. ICSS is going to lay special stress on the teaching of moral & spiritual values, as moral values particularly refer to the conduct of man towards man in the various situations in
which human beings come together in the home, in social and economic fields and in life of the outside world generally. It is essential that the moral values should be inculcated in our students which will persist and influence their lives afterwards. Values will impose proper restraint and remove harshness in the words and rudeness in the behaviour. We have been losing our values rather rapidly and it is necessary that we should recover them. ICSS endeavours to pursue quality research to unearth the contribution of Saints, Sufis and Sages towards making the conflicting world into a heavenly abode full of tranquillity, love and patience. The University has initiated a process of teaching Moral & Spiritual Studies to all the students who join IUST. ICSS has also framed a syllabus for the course. By virtue of ICSS our students will get exposed to various dimensions of spiritual manifestations and will acquaint the traits of patience, tolerance, brotherhood, respect for all and togetherness in their personalities which will certainly be an add-on and make them distinct from other individuals.
