Top Colleges in Jammu and Kashmir 2026: Fees, Admission, Ranking, Cutoff, Placement.

Ans. Yes. On the 2025 cutoffs, TBS University of Jammu and University of Jammu closed at 50 CAT and SMVDU Katra at 55 CAT.

CU Jammu admits on CUET PG instead, where its MBA closed at 87 marks in Round 3 of 2026. Clearing a cutoff earns a shortlist, and the final offer depends on each institute's own selection round.

Ans. IIM Jammu, at 90 CAT for its flagship MBA in 2025, with 75 CAT for its MBA in Health Care Management. SMVDU Katra follows at 55 CAT, and TBS University of Jammu and University of Jammu at 50 CAT.

No CAT cutoff is listed for the other twelve colleges, and CU Jammu admits on CUET PG.

Ans. SSM Baramulla, at 332.09%, the best among the MBA colleges on this page. Its MBA costs 1.34 Lakh in total against a NIRF median of 4.45 LPA for the 2023-24 graduating batch, in which 10 of 20 graduates were placed.

University of Jammu is second on 263.92% and MIET Jammu third on 208.18%. IIM Jammu posts the highest median, 15.80 LPA, but returns 67.78% because its fee of 23.31 Lakh is the highest on this list.

Ans. Admission runs through a national entrance test, followed by each institute's own selection round.

• CAT: IIM Jammu, TBS University of Jammu, University of Jammu, and SMVDU Katra admit on CAT scores.
• CUET PG: CU Jammu admits on CUET PG scores.
• CMAT: Islamia College Srinagar admits to its MBA on CMAT scores.
• Selection round: shortlisted candidates then go through the institute's own written test, group discussion, or personal interview.

Ans. In JoSAA 2026 Round 5, IIT Jammu's CSE closed at 7218 on JEE Advanced ranks, and its last-closing branch, Metallurgical and Materials Engineering, at 18637. NIT Srinagar's CSE closed at 47564 under the Home State quota and 27594 under the Other State quota, both on JEE Main ranks.

In the same round, SMVDU Katra's CSE closed at 75005 and CU Jammu's at 88211, both on JEE Main ranks.

Ans. Five of the fifteen: IIT Jammu on JEE Advanced, and NIT Srinagar, SMVDU Katra, CU Jammu, and IUST Pulwama on JEE Main; those four also fill seats in the CSAB special rounds after JoSAA.

Collegedunia lists no JoSAA closing rank for the other ten colleges on this list.

Ans. BGSBU Rajouri leads this list at 338.98%, from a 2.36 Lakh fee and an 8.00 LPA median, though that median rests on 5 placed students out of 51 graduates in 2024-25. IUST Pulwama is second on 256.85%, from a 2.92 Lakh fee and a 7.50 LPA median across 260 placed students.

NIT Srinagar records the highest median at 10.33 LPA and returns 124.76%, while IIT Jammu's 10.30 LPA returns 91.15% against its 11.30 Lakh fee.

Ans. Admission at the national institutes runs through JEE and JoSAA counselling.

• JEE Advanced: IIT Jammu admits on JEE Advanced ranks through JoSAA.
• JEE Main: NIT Srinagar, SMVDU Katra, CU Jammu, and IUST Pulwama admit on JEE Main ranks through JoSAA and the CSAB special rounds, and NIT Srinagar splits its seats between Home State and Other State quotas.
• Other colleges: Collegedunia lists no JoSAA closing rank for University of Kashmir Srinagar, University of Jammu, CU Kashmir, SKUAST Kashmir, MIET Jammu, SSM Baramulla, BGSBU Rajouri, GCET Jammu, or MBS College Jammu.
• IIM Jammu: its B.Tech + MBA is a six-year dual degree, with the B.Tech taught at IIT Jammu and the MBA at IIM Jammu.

Ans. A Class 12 aggregate of 45% for the General category is the most common bar, set by six of the ten colleges, including University of Kashmir Srinagar, University of Jammu, Kashmir Law College Srinagar, and KC Law College Jammu. MIET Jammu and CU Kashmir ask for 50%.

Bhargava Law College Jammu lists only a Class 12 pass, with no minimum percentage, and no official minimum is on record for Dogra Law College Jammu, which admits through JUET.

Ans. University of Kashmir Srinagar admits through its own entrance test, KUET, and the same test fills the BA LLB seats at Kashmir Law College Srinagar and KCEF Pulwama. University of Jammu admits on a CUET UG score, its own JUET, or Class 12 merit, and the same routes apply at KC Law College Jammu and Ashoka Law College Kathua.

On the JUET route, University of Jammu weighs Class 12 marks at 70% and the JUET score at 30%.

Ans. On this page, CU Kashmir is the cheapest, at 42.18 K in total, followed by KCEF Pulwama at 69.10 K and Kashmir Law College Srinagar at 1.05 Lakh. Ashoka Law College Kathua, Bhargava Law College Jammu, and Dogra Law College Jammu charge 1.25 Lakh each.

Of the two state universities, University of Kashmir Srinagar charges 1.87 Lakh and University of Jammu 2.30 Lakh.

Ans. CU Kashmir's BA LLB closed at 106 marks in Round 3 of CUET UG 2026, and University of Jammu's at 213 marks in Round 2 of 2024, the latest year Collegedunia lists for it.

University of Kashmir Srinagar and its affiliated colleges admit through KUET instead, so no CUET cutoff applies there.

Ans. Under the All India Quota in the General category, NEET UG 2026 closed at 2800 for GMC Srinagar, 3701 for AIIMS Jammu, 11552 for GMC Jammu, and 16938 for SKIMS Srinagar, taking the highest closing rank across the rounds held so far.

At the three J&K government institutions these ranks cover only the 15% All India Quota; the other 85% is allotted by the J&K Board of Professional Entrance Examinations, which also fills the seats at ASCOMS Jammu. AIIMS Jammu fills every seat through the Medical Counselling Committee.

Ans. The five colleges carry 900 MBBS seats. GMC Srinagar and GMC Jammu have 250 each in the National Medical Commission's 2026-27 seat matrix, SKIMS Srinagar and ASCOMS Jammu 150 each, and AIIMS Jammu 100 in its 2025-26 intake.

SKIMS Srinagar teaches its MBBS at SKIMS Medical College, Bemina, separate from the institute's main hospital at Soura.

Ans. No. Every MBBS seat in Jammu and Kashmir, at government and private colleges alike, is filled from the NEET UG merit list, and no college on this list admits on any other test.

What varies is the counselling body: the Medical Counselling Committee for AIIMS Jammu and the All India Quota, and the J&K Board of Professional Entrance Examinations for the state-quota seats.

Ans. Interns at AIIMS Jammu receive INR 23,500 a month, the central-government rate. GMC Srinagar, GMC Jammu, SKIMS Srinagar, and ASCOMS Jammu each reported INR 12,300 a month to the National Medical Commission in 2024.

Ans. It depends on the stream. GMC Srinagar holds the highest CD Score on this page at 964 out of 1000. IIT Jammu leads engineering on 846 and ranks 56th in NIRF Engineering 2025, IIM Jammu leads management on 641 and ranks 35th in NIRF Management 2025, and University of Kashmir Srinagar leads law on 286.

Ans. The CD Score is Collegedunia's rating of a college out of 1000, made up of an academic score and a placement score. The academic score draws on state or all-India entrance exam cutoffs, student reviews, NAAC grades, and agency rankings. The placement score draws on the average package, the median package, and the number of students placed.

Ans. Collegedunia lists 149 colleges in Jammu and Kashmir, including 76 private and 69 government colleges. By stream the largest counts are 60 education colleges, 46 engineering colleges, 46 science colleges, 44 arts colleges, and 41 management colleges.

By degree, Collegedunia lists 18 MBA and PGDM colleges, 19 BE and B.Tech colleges, 10 BA LLB and BBA LLB colleges, and 5 MBBS colleges in Jammu and Kashmir.

Ans. BGSBU Rajouri, at 338.98% for its B.Tech, the highest on this page, from a 2.36 Lakh fee and an 8.00 LPA median that rests on 5 placed students. SSM Baramulla follows closely for the MBA at 332.09%.

Within law the leader is University of Jammu at 187.83%. ROI here is the median package as a percentage of the total course fee.

Ans. Each stream has its own route. MBA admissions run on CAT at IIM Jammu, TBS University of Jammu, University of Jammu, and SMVDU Katra, on CUET PG at CU Jammu, and on CMAT at Islamia College Srinagar. Engineering runs on JEE Advanced at IIT Jammu and on JEE Main through JoSAA at NIT Srinagar, SMVDU Katra, CU Jammu, and IUST Pulwama.

The five-year law programme runs on KUET at University of Kashmir Srinagar and its affiliated colleges, on CUET UG at CU Kashmir, on CUET UG, JUET, or Class 12 merit at University of Jammu, KC Law College Jammu, and Ashoka Law College Kathua, and on CUET, CLAT, or its own test at MIET Jammu. MBBS runs on NEET UG alone.

Ans. Fees vary widely by stream. Among the main lists on this page, the MBA runs from 33.00 K at Islamia College Srinagar, leaving out CU Kashmir's MTTM, to 23.31 Lakh at IIM Jammu, and engineering from 1.38 Lakh at GCET Jammu to 11.30 Lakh at IIT Jammu.

The five-year law programme runs from 42.18 K at CU Kashmir to 5.00 Lakh at KC Law College Jammu, and MBBS from 5.57 K at AIIMS Jammu to 24.27 Lakh at ASCOMS Jammu.

Ans. IIM Jammu records the highest median on this page at 15.80 LPA for its MBA, followed by NIT Srinagar at 10.33 LPA and IIT Jammu at 10.30 LPA for the B.Tech. In law, University of Jammu reports a five-year median of 4.32 LPA.

Ans. Each package comes from the newest NIRF Data Capturing System filing available for the college: the NIRF 2026 submission for the 2024-25 graduating batch where the college has published it on its own site, and otherwise NIRF 2025 for the 2023-24 batch, as for SSM Baramulla and the SMVDU Katra MBA.

Where no current figure exists for the programme, the cell carries a dash and the college is left out of the return-on-investment ordering. This covers GCET Jammu, whose newest filing dates from NIRF 2022, BGSBU Rajouri's MBA, whose newest batch had no placed graduates, and TBS University of Jammu, whose figures sit in the University of Jammu filing.

Ans. Not for MBBS, and not at IIT Jammu, NIT Srinagar, or IIM Jammu. Every MBBS seat is filled from the NEET UG merit list, IIT Jammu and NIT Srinagar admit on JEE ranks, and IIM Jammu admits on CAT.

Law is the main exception: University of Jammu, KC Law College Jammu, and Ashoka Law College Kathua also admit to the BA LLB on Class 12 merit, as the third route after CUET UG and JUET.
