CAMPUS
The
University is located on 470 acres of land in the lap of Trikuta
Hills, the abode of Shri Mata Vaishno Devi at about 2700 feet
above the sea level. The pyramidal type architecture merge
beautifully with the valley like ambience of the surrounding
serene hills.
i
The surrounding green hills and
the perennial stream of Jhajjar in the east minimize the effects
of hot and cold winds and produce a pollution free atmosphere on
the campus. The average day temperature in summer is around 35
degrees Celsius, 4 degrees Celsius lesser than the surrounding
areas of Jammu region and the maximum and minimum temperatures
in winter are about 14 and 5 degrees Celsius respectively. A
moderately high hill full of trees and plants on the western
side of the campus shields the campus, particularly the
residential zone, from the long summer afternoons. The slight
incline of the campus provides an ideal place for endurance
exercises and the spiritual influence of the Divine Mother and
Holy Shrine is palpable on the campus, which helps add spiritual
dimension to the quality of scientific, technical and management
education and life on the campus. An early morning and late
evening walk, along the Shrine Axis and other loop roads,
surrounded by evenly placed lovely trees and clear sky with
sparkling stars, is very refreshing for body, mind and the Soul. Such proximity of the campus with spiritually and culturally
rich pilgrimage centre is an idyllic setting for inspiring the
students to reflect on our rich traditional and cultural
heritage which needs to go hand in hand with keen scientific
temper.
Academic
Block
The focus of the entire site is
the Academic Block, with the Administration and
Library blocks
adjoining it and forming a complete composition around a large
central plaza. The main axis of the entire site points due
north, pointing towards the Adh Kunwari shrine.
Students Hostels
The two boys Hostels-Trikuta Hostel and Kailash Hostel lie at
one end of primary axis and are so located that walking time to
any school is 3 to 5 minutes. The same holds true for the
Vaishnavi Girls
Hostel, which is located at the other end of the axis. The rooms
in the hostels are spacious and ventilated. Both the Girl's
Hostel and the Boy's Hostel comprise single and shared rooms
with good quality infrastructural facilities.
