University of Ladakh

The university was established in 2019 under the University of Ladakh Act 2018, (enacted by the Governor of Jammu & Kashmir as Act no. LVI of 2018), as an initiative to promote quality higher education in the country, particularly in Ladakh region. By virtue of Section 1(e) of the Act, the six existing colleges of Leh and Kargil districts have become part of the University of Ladakh.

It is the only trans-Himalayan institute of higher learning and research and, therefore, an institute of higher learning of its own kind. Established with the existing six degree colleges in the region, three each in Leh and Kargil districts, as its Constituent Colleges, it will also have courses and research programmes specific to Himalayan, trans-Himalayan and South and Central Asian regions not ordinarily available in other universities in the country. The University has headquarters and campuses in both Leh and Kargil to cater to students passing out of various schools and colleges spread over more than fifty thousand square kilometres of the vast Ladakh region.
