==Today==
Besides being a popular tourist destination, the [[Indian Institute of Advanced Study]] (established 1965), housed in the former Viceregal Lodge, which was built in 1884–88,<ref name=HPus/> is on the nearby Observatory Hill.<ref>[http://www.iias.org/history-foundation.html IIAS History]</ref>

Today, it hosts the [[Himachal Pradesh University]], which mainly offers post graduate programmes in Humanities, Commerce, Science, Management, Law and Languages, and was started in 1975. Most students walk to the Hill Station of Shimla from the campus, though Summer Hill lies on the [[Kalka-Shimla Railway]] line.<ref name=HpUniv/>
