The emblem of the university has a dome of a mosque in a blue arch holding the motifs of moon with rings around, Himalayan mountains, a test tube holding the DNA structure, a half gear, abortion of a tree and a water body. The arch is bordered by its name and supported by a green banner bearing its motto. The moon with rings around is a sign of divine grace and goodwill. The mountains represent the Himalayas; the test tube, DNA, gear and the tree represent the different fields of study; the water represents the rivers flowing on the land.
