University at a Glance

An Institution Amid the Himalayas

Kumaun University, a residential-cum-affiliating university, came into existence in the year 1973 under the U.P. State Universities Act (now adopted by Uttarakhand State), with the merger of two Government Colleges — D.S.B. Government P.G. College, Nainital and Almora Government P.G. College, Almora. These constituent colleges were later elevated to the status of University Campuses in March 1994.

Situated in the picturesque hill station of Nainital, the university serves as a premier centre of higher education for the Kumaun region and beyond, offering a wide spectrum of undergraduate, postgraduate, doctoral and professional programmes.
