In addition, several modern facilities funded under RUSA and PMDP, such as Classroom Blocks, the Administrative Block, and the Humanities Block, have further strengthened the institutional infrastructure. The College has experienced significant growth, with enrolment rising to over 3,000 students, thereby establishing itself as a prominent institution of academic excellence. The College is recognised by the University Grants Commission (UGC) under Sections 2(f) and 12(B). It was initially affiliated with the University of Kashmir, Srinagar, and, since 2017, has been affiliated with Cluster University Srinagar. The institution offers a lush, green, pollution-free and serene environment, providing an ideal setting for teaching, learning and research. In its continued pursuit of quality and excellence, the College was accredited by NAAC with a B+ grade in 2004, and subsequently re-accredited with an ‘A’ grade in 2014, reflecting its sustained commitment to high academic standards and institutional development.  Academically, the institution offers 22 Four-Year Undergraduate programmes in Science, Humanities, Social Sciences, Commerce and Management Studies, along with Postgraduate programmes in Commerce, Management, Political Science, and History.
