Sonipat, October 24, 2018:<\/strong> OP. Jindal Global University (JGU) has been ranked in the QS ASIA University Rankings 2019, an annual publication of university rankings in the region that identifies the leading universities in a particular subject. This is a huge achievement for the university, which in its nine years of existence has been recognized as a world class educational institution; leaving a mark on the world map. ranked among\u00a0the top 450 universities in Asia, which puts JGU in the top 3% in the region that consists of more than 13,000 universities in total. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Typically, 46 countries (and\nregions) in Asia are taken into consideration in the ranking of Asian\nuniversities. Much like the BRICS rankings, we are the youngest\nIndian university in the QS Asia University Rankings 2019 and one of the few universities dedicated to the study and research\nof the social sciences, arts and humanities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

JGU continues to be the\nyoungest Indian University to feature in these rankings. In QS Asia University\nRankings 2019, 505 institutions were ranked, out of which 92 are new entrants.\nThe ranking process is quite stringent. QS uses eleven indicators to\ncompile the ranking, a global survey of 83,877 academics and 42,862 recruiters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recently, the\nuniversity has been ranked as the youngest Indian University in the QS BRICS University Rankings\n2019 across five major countries that comprise the BRICS group (Brazil,\nRussia, India, China and South Africa), wherein nearly 9,000 universities meet\nminimum ranking criteria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On achievement this milestone, Founding\nChancellor and benefactor of JGU, Mr. Naveen Jindal said, \u2018This is a\nproud moment for JGU as well India.  It is time for India to join ranks with world\nclass universities and improve the academic environment for our students. A big\nstepping stone in JGU\u2019s short journey of nine-years to attain this status, as\nwe relentlessly strive to build world-class universities through comparative and\ninternational dimensions\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Professor(Dr.) C.\nRaj Kumar, Founding Vice Chancellor, JGU said, \u2018It has always been our\naspiration to achieve excellence, while benchmarking ourselves with the leading\ninstitutions around the world. We were of course, mindful of the fact that we\nare a non-STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) and non-Medicine\nuniversity with focus on humanities and social sciences and a few professional\nschools (law and architecture). Since the early days of our founding, many\nwell-meaning individuals in India and around the world told us that we\nshouldn\u2019t aspire to be recognized in international rankings such as QS as we\nare way too young, small and significantly limited in terms of\nacademic disciplines. At some level, they were right to make this point as\nuniversities, which are old, large and which have STEM disciplines and Medicine\ndominate the international rankings\u2019. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Professor Raj Kumar,\nadded, \u2018I would like to thank Mr. Naveen Jindal, our Founding Chancellor and\nbenefactor, for the faith, trust and support that he has reposed in us.\nEven during the most difficult times, he has supported us with a\nsense of purpose and courage of conviction that is rare among leaders. I\nhope our students and alumni are inspired by our\nChancellor’s philanthropy and commitment to higher education as\nthey accomplish themselves in their professional pursuits and make a\nmark in their own careers and lives\u2019. I would like to congratulate the Deans of\nall the Schools of JGU for their exemplary leadership in maintaining a\nstrong faculty-student ratio as well as attracting international faculty from\nacross the world. Between our NAAC \u201cA\u201d accreditation, our performances at the\nSwachhta Rankings, at QS BRICS University Rankings and now QS Asia\nUniversity Rankings. At this stage, I cannot help but reflect upon all\nthat we have achieved in. These achievements are evidence that our\ncommitment to our vision and mission for excellence in higher education has not\nwaned. Now, in our tenth year, we renew our commitment and pledge to our vision\nand mission. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
