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 multi-campus 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 52 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.
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 counseling 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.

a mountain, the city seems a flood of lights, which captivates the viewers. Looking a little away from the city centre, the thinly scattered
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.

CLUBS & SOCIETIES

With a view to providing healthy outlets,
the following clubs and societies have
been formed.
STUDENTS COUNCIL
We believe education is not influx of
information, but more about imparting
values and ideals that make our students
personality complete. Backed with
experience in education and knowing the
real meaning of education, we are striving
to make individuals one can feel proud of.
Without instilling the spirit of tolerance,
compassion and commitment we can not
prepare our students for future.
The Directorate of Students Affairs has
chalked out a comprehensive strategy to
utilize the potential of youth. This step
would provide the younger generation
with opportunities to express their
talents and abilities, creating a healthy
environment which would promote the
culture of tolerance and moderation.

Youth is the most important section of
a society. Youth would be encouraged to
come forward and play their role in nation
building and progress of the country. The
main objective is to eliminate the sense of
deprivation and hopelessness among our
youth.
The Directorate is striving hard to
involve the youth in healthy activities by
organizing different game competitions,
festivals, rallies and creative programmes
within the University.
In order to discuss the students related
problems and propose their solutions, a
student council has been established in
the Directorate, to provide a forum to
the students for mutual discussion. The
students council comprises on the first
position holder students from different
disciplines and officials of the Directorate

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
The students, faculty and administration of the University of Azad
Jammu & Kashmir (UAJ&K) are all collectively and individually
responsible for maintaining the academic integrity of this
institution. This Code of conduct governs the academic conduct
of each student University-wide and it shall be used to govern and
adjudicate all matters of student academic conduct to the extent it
is practicable for it to do so.
Students at UAJ&K are obligated to conduct themselves in a
manner appropriate to the Universitys mission as an institution of
higher education. Students are obligated to refrain from acts that
they know, or should know, will impair the academic integrity of
the University. Actions, which may be considered acceptable or
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.
PRINCIPLES
This Code of Conduct has been formulated to provide a clear
statement of the Universitys expectations of students in respect of
academic matters and personal behavior.
Study at the University presents opportunities for interacting
with other members of the University community. The University
recognizes and values the diversity of student experiences
and expectations, and is committed to treating students, both

academically and personally, in a fair and transparent manner. All
students, in return, are required to comply with the requirements
set down in this Code of Conduct.
The University reaffirms its commitment to:

high academic standards, intellectual rigor and a high quality

education;

recognition of the importance of ideas and the pursuit of

critical and open inquiry;
tolerance, honesty and respect as the hallmarks of

relationships throughout the University community; and

high standards of ethical behavior.
All students are required to be aware of and act consistently with

these values.

experiences, such as internships, field trips, study abroad, or

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
45

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.

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 meet the
evolving requirements of the subject. In order
to align ourselves with the rest of the world, the
department has recently launched the four year
Bachelor of Science (BS) program. The program
is being mainly run according to the policy
guidelines of Higher Education Commission
(HEC), Pakistan.

What We Offer in BS?
The Swiss scientist Christopher Glaser in 1663, defined
chymistry (what now we call Chemistry), a scientific art, by
which one learns to dissolve bodies, and draw from them the
different substances on their composition, and how to unite them
again, and exalt them to a higher perfection . Theodore L. Brown,
H. Eugene Lemay, Bruce Edward Bursten, H. Lemay in 1999,
regarded chemistry as a central science which bridges other
natural sciences like physics, geology and biology with each other.
Keeping in mind both the definitions, the curriculum for BS
program is designed in a way that students admitted to this
program will not only be able to excel specifically in the field
of chemistry, they will be given the exposure to a broad list of
subjects including mathematics, physics, botany, zoology,
statistics, geography, economics. In addition, they will be taught
English, Islamiyat (or Ethic), Arabic and Pakistan Studies as
compulsory subjects. The department also encourages the cocurricular activities, like competitions amongst the students and
excretion tours. The interdisciplinary research is offered only on
merit basis.
Seminars and workshops by Pakistani and foreign scientists 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.
The blend from this diverse recipe will definitely help our
graduates to become more fruitful citizens of the country.

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.

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 and neutron 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 Department
has fine teaching laboratories one each for, Solid
State Physics, Electronics, Nuclear Physics,
Computational Physics and Spectroscopy
& Modern Physics. Besides these teaching
laboratories Solid State Nuclear Track Detectors

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 micro-organisms 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.

A new accreditation system is being
introduced by HEC that aims at
standardization of teaching and learning

developed and launched in Pakistan/
AJK/NA by HEC in collaboration with
USAID Teachers Education Project (Prestep). The USAID has provided technical
and financial support to Government
of Pakistan for this Programme. The

THE NEW DEGREE

PROGRAMMES
ACCORDING TO NEW
EDUCATION POLICY (2009)
The New Education Policy for Pakistan
was announced by the Prime Minister in
September 2009. Among other features,
three dimensions of new policy have led
responsive universities in Pakistan towards
revising and improving educational degree
awarding systems and in-service teacher
education programmes. These are;

New Pay scales for those holding

4-years B.Ed (Hons) Degree and two
years.
The new Accreditation Standards
for Educations Degree Programmes
in Pakistan enforced in August
2009 which imply that educational
institutions shall have to improve
drastically otherwise these shall not
be accredited.
The Ten (10) National Professional
Standards for Teachers in Pakistan
(NPTSs) enforced in February 2010.
The University of AJK has the Honour

of pioneering the policy-led change in
teacher education process and starting
4-year B.Ed Hons Degree in February
2010.
as career then this new B.Ed Hons.,

degree would be their first choice. This is
designed as 2+2 year Programme. During
first two years, the students shall study
the conventional Bachelors level courses
along with some courses in education and
practical teaching. In the second two years,
they will study pedagogy oriented content
extensively. Hence, the students who, due
to any compelling personal reasons, quit
after completing initial two years shall be
awarded Bachelor Degree in Education.
They will be better educators especially for
private sector that presently engages nontrained teachers.
The Scheme of studies for B.Ed (4Year Programme) has been designed in
accordance with the HEC guidelines and
the national needs for well-trained teachereducators and education managers.
WHY TO CHOOSE BA/BED

THE FIRST TWO YEARS

(BA) OF B.ED HONS
AS EQUIVILANT TO
ASSOCIATE DEGREE IN
EDUCATION (ADE)
This Programme has been designed by
UAJK keeping in view the AJK specific
needs and demand-supply gap of trained
teachers especially in the private sectors
which shoulders the public sector to a
great extent. A large number of candidates
appear in simple BA exam having almost
limited use in any professional field. The
14 years education gives no benefits to the
candidate and the nation if he/she has to
quit at this stage due to any circumstances.
Therefore, as mentioned above, to make
the 4 year education degree more flexible
and attractive, the degree Programmes
has been split into 2+2 years with the
provision that the candidate can take exit
after completing first two years by getting
a BA (Education) degree or Associate
Degree in Education (ADE) and can rejoin
the Programme any time later in the third
year within five year period.

Disaster Education: Special courses

in collaboration with Disaster Risk
Reduction Chair (DRR) in collaboration
and full financial-sponsorship by ERRA.
Universal Values Education: It is almost
consensual belief that our countrys
development and survival is at stake
due to ever increasing corruption and
moral crisis. Sectarian sensitivity created
by diverse definitions of good and bad,
right and wrong etc. doubles the risks. It
is not pragmatic to think that people will
converge to one religion and sect under the
present circumstances. However, it may be
logical to expect that they can amicably
co-exit around a universal set of values

which are common in all religions, sects,
cultures and areas. Therefore, education of
universal values has been made an integral
part of educational Programmes. Besides
other initiatives, a one-credit course is
made compulsory in the first semester. The
learning outcome of this course has been
set as effective change in perceptionsand
habits pertaining to both body and soul.
Sports Education: The knowledge of
human anatomy, benefit and methods
of exercise and practice of sports can
re-enforce the process as well as pace of
personality building among the students.
The physical and mental health would
help them to become role models.
Therefore, a 3-credit course with one hour
of weekly lecture and 6 hours of practical
has been included in the second semester
of BED Hons. Programme. This course
is conducted with active participation of
Directorate of Sports.

INTRODUCTION
The department offers a relatively new field of studies i.e.,
Linguistics along with the traditional and long studied subject
Literature. The Masters in Linguistics and English Literature is
a two-year course. The idea is to promote broader vision through
inter-disciplinary approach. The course has been divided into four
semesters. In the last semester, the students have to do a thesis
(Optional) and qualify a comprehensive oral examination. A great
deal of emphasis is placed on development of English language
skills and on producing professional competent language teachers
who are equally conversant with English Literature.
ASSESSMENT
The students are assessed through Quizzes, Assignments, and
presentations, Oral and written Examination. The students have
to maintain 2.5 CGPA by the end of the degree. The Sessional
(including Quizzes and Assignments) and terminal exams
comprise of 50 marks each.
JOB OPPORTUNITIES
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.
In view of the depth combined with variety makes the graduates
versatile. Up till now our graduates have been readily absorbed
in various fields i.e. teaching, civil services, and higher studies.
The market demand is still growing. The department is playing a
vital role in providing trained and competent English teachers to
overcome the shortage of skilled professionals.
ELIGIBILITY
The criterion for admission to BS is FA/FSc at least in Second
Division. Age limit for admission is 20 years. The merit will be
determined by the following formula:

INSTITUTE OF LANGUAGES
As part of Faculty of Arts expansion and realization of
the importance of knowing more languages in the postEarthquake period, the University of Azad Jammu & Kashmir
decided to establish Institute of Languages.
The Institute is mandated to promote national and local
languages spoken in the region. Azad Kashmir is one of the
richest areas of the world in terms of languages spoken. It is a
meeting ground for many languages spawning from various
families. The interaction in these languages gives arise to
fascinating phenomena which form the basis of interesting linguistics studies a heaven for a linguist. Another major aim of the
Institutes includes teaching of foreign languages which promise bright career opportunities in higher studies in the countries they are
spoken in. The major languages to be taught in the Institute include Turkish, Arabic, Chinese, French and Persian as well as offer on
demand language courses subject to the availability of the faculty. In the post-earthquake scenario, it was realized that the ability to
interact with foreigners in their native languages facilitates the work a great deal and is key in fostering warm relationships. At the
same time, the presence of the foreigners and international organizations involved in relief and rehabilitation work aroused a good
deal of interest in foreign languages. In order to implement its agenda, the Institute has already run two short courses: an eight-week
Spoken English Course and a three-month course entitled English for Academic Purpose (EAP) and more are in the pipeline.
Yet another aim of the Institute is to offer English support programme for those who need English skills for effectively coping with
the degree programme or those who want to acquire advanced English communicative skills with an eye to higher studies abroad or
professional development. Special courses will also be offered for those aiming to take GRE/TOEFL/IELTS tests.
The Institute aims to expand in future. Further plans include establishment of a Research Unit which would be entirely devoted to
promoting research on the local languages and preserving the dying languages.

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.
