NEW DELHI: The proposed Sindhu Central University in Ladakh and the University of Ladakh would function synergistically, complementing each other, the government informed Parliament on Monday. In a written reply to a question in the Lok Sabha on the present status of the University of Ladakh and the differences between it and the proposed Sindhu Central University, minister of state for education Subhas Sarkar said the central university would mostly have different subjects than the ones being offered by the University of Ladakh.
The University of Ladakh is running 22 courses for the benefit of the students of Ladakh from two campuses. "The new central university would not only attract insiders but from across the country. The new central university will share resources (teachers and infrastructure) with the University of Ladakh. Both the universities would function synergistically, complementing each other.

The total number of students in the university is 549, including those enrolled in the current academic session.
