The University is also offering regular B.Sc, B.A., B.Com courses in the constituent colleges. The curriculum of the CUS schools is developed in coordination with the industry and other stakeholders. In the words of Albert Einstein “Education is not the learning of facts, but the training of minds to think”. At CUS, we have introduced a multi-dimensional assessment system that includes seminars, group discussions, field survey etc. This will widen the intellectual horizons of the students. CUS shall also have a complete transparency in the evaluation process and student has vested right to contest the assessments. The constituent campuses of CUS have glorious past and have immensely contributed to the intellectual growth of the people of the State. The faculty of the constituent colleges is highly skilled with many of them having advanced doctorate and post-doctorate degrees. I welcome all the aspiring students to our University. I am sure that you will find our campuses intellectually stimulating and have a wonderful learning experience with us.

Sri-Pratap College (School of Sciences)

S.P. College, the oldest and premier institute of higher education in Kashmir embodies a history of 112 years of its glorious past. It was established in 1905, as an intermediate college by upgrading the famous Hindu High School, Srinagar. It was the personal effort of notable British Social Reformer and Educationist, Dr. Annie Besant who directed the Central Hindu College Trust, Banaras (to which it was affiliated) to appoint, Mr. M.U. Moore, a noted Irish scholar as the first Principal of the Institution. Beginning with a modest roll of eight students and only six teachers on its staff, in a few years’ time, the college rose to the degree level in Arts by 1911 when State Government took it over and renamed it as Sri Pratap College after the name of the then ruler of the state Maharaja Pratap Singh. In 1912 the college got affiliated to the Punjab University, Lahore 1947. The college affiliated to the newly established University of Jammu & Kashmir which remained till 1969. Subsequently when the University of Kashmir came in to existence in 1969 the Institution got affiliated to the said University for all science and arts courses. A major event in the history of the Institution was the delinking of arts programmes in 1975 from thence the college became exclusive Science Institution. When in 2017 Cluster University Srinagar (CUS) was established Under RUSA, the college became affiliated to the university as one of the constituent college designated as School of Sciences. The first NAAC cycle was completed in 2004 with college earning grade B++ on a seven point scale. Subsequently the college achieved the distinction of earning grade A in the second cycle of NAAC in 2017.The history of S.P. College is in fact, the history of progress of higher education in Kashmir. Almost for the first half of the 20th century, S.P. College had the distinction of being, the only institution to provide facilities for imparting higher education in Arts and Science disciplines in the valley. Despite a good number of colleges coming into existence in the valley after 1947, this college continues to maintain its primacy and academic excellence in higher education. Besides the academic infrastructure, the College has a number of facilities for both staff and students. Among them a fully

functional Health Care Centre with weekly deputation of doctors from Health Department Government of J&K. In addition the college has hostel facility for two hundred students, a sprawling field for outdoor sports like football, cricket volleyball etc., a 12 station gym, multiple units of NCC and NSS and a huge library block with browsing centre inside for the benefit of students and the staff. The College has very rich alumina including Dr. Karan Singh Ex Sadr Riyasat, Chief Ministers of J&K state Sh. Sheikh Mohammad Abdullah, G.M.
