COLLEGE PROFILE
Govt. Degree College Udhampur was set up in 1961 as a three year degree course in Science &
Arts with a pre – university class attached to it. The first batch of 30 students was admitted on 27
June, 1961 and interestingly no. of girls (17) was more than no. of boys (13). The majestic
campus of this decades’ old college is situated in the outskirts of Udhampur town on a hillock
overlooking the Devika, the sacred Ganges of Jammu region. Since its inception the college has
achieved major landmarks, and is at present one of the leading institutions of higher learning in
the State of Jammu and Kashmir.
At present, the College provides instruction in the disciplines of Arts, Commerce, Science
(Medical and Non-medical), BCA and BBA. We also offer two Post Graduate Courses i.e. Post
Graduate course in English & Post Graduate course in Hindi. A sizable section of students
joining this institution comes from such families that mainly depend on agriculture and are
economically as well as socially weak. The College carefully caters to the educational needs of
this particular section of the society, and puts in every effort to ensure a gradual and meaningful
development of the students, both in curricular and extra-curricular domains.
The College has a highly qualified and experienced staff, well-equipped laboratories, rich
library, play-fields, Boys’ hostel, Multi-purpose hall and other infrastructural facilities. Besides,
the lush green splendid campus of the College, with a back drop of the Gangeda Hills, is
equipped with all basic amenities and provides a conducive environment for optimum learning
and ample reasons of attraction to the students.
Since the college is celebrating its Golden Jubilee Year, many new and innovative programs
have been initiated and an effort is being made for their sustenance. With the development work
in progress at present, it is hoped that this institution shall cater to the needs of the society in a
much better way. The alumni of the college are spreading its hue and fragrance in various fields
of nation’s service including education, administration, entrepreneurship, politics etc. The
prominent alumni are Prof.(Dr.) R.N.K Bamezai, Hon’ble VC SMVDU, Sh. B.S Mankotia,
MLA Udhampur, Sh. Mahender K. Sharma, Chief Judicial Magistrate Udhampur, Sh Anoop
