\n<\/em>New\nDelhi, October 16, 2018<\/strong>:  O.P.\nJindal Global University (JGU) has been ranked in the 301-350 rank bracket of the\nQS BRICS University Rankings 2019, placing JGU among the top three per cent of\nthe universities in the BRICS region that covers five countries namely Brazil,\nRussia, India, China and South Africa. JGU continues to be\nthe youngest Indian University to feature in these rankings. It must\nbe noted that JGU is the only university in the entire 2019 QS India ranking\nand the only Indian university in 2019 QS BRICS ranking that does not offer\nmedicine or STEM degrees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 The University has been recognised as the\nsecond best university out of top 75 universities ranked in India in terms of\nInternationalization and student-faculty ratio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As\nmany as 31 new universities were included in this year\u2019s BRICS Ranking and 14\nnew entrants in India ranking. QS Quacquarelli Symonds, a well-known global\nthink tank and consulting body for higher education recently released its\nstandalone rankings of India\u2019s higher educational institutions. Professor (Dr.)\nRaj Kumar, Founding Vice Chancellor of JGU received the award from Dr Rajiv\nKumar, Vice Chairman, NITI Aayog on behalf of the university in the presence of\nMr Jason Newman, Vice President, QS and Mr Ashwin Fernandes, Regional Director,\nQS along with other dignitaries. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chancellor,\nJGU, Mr. Naveen Jindal on achieving this feat twice on a row said, \u201cThis global recognition of JGU in\nbarely 9 years is truly remarkable and something that we can be\ngenuinely proud of in every sense of the word. We are aware that this\nimportant recognition comes with greater responsibility to persist with our\nrelentless efforts to advance the cause of excellence in Indian higher\neducation and foster new imaginations for the future. We look forward to\nworking with all of you \u2013 students, faculty, staff and other stakeholders,\nincluding the parents of our students, to develop the University to fully\nrealise our founding vision. As we look at the future, we need to think\nabout how to fashion the growth and evolution\nof this institution. What kind of institutional methods and\nprocesses will enable the institution to grow from strength\nto strength and will ensure stability and sustainability.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Founding Vice\nChancellor, JGU Professor (Dr) C. Raj Kumar said, \u201cJGU continues to be ranked\namongst the top 350 universities in the BRICS region by QS. We had broken into\nthese rankings for the first time in 2018. As a result of our hard work,\ncommitment, and dedication to the cause of JGU\u2019s vision and mission, JGU\ncontinues to be the youngest Indian University to feature in these rankings. In\nthe 2019 edition of QS BRICS Ranking, JGU\u2019s standing has improved in two key\nranking indicators of papers per faculty and academic reputation. This is an\nextraordinary accomplishment for a young university, which has just completed\nnine years since its founding. It is also an unprecedented achievement where\nour collective goals and institutional aspirations meet with destiny.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat has allowed\nus to achieve this is our vision that was inspired by our founding Chancellor,\nMr Naveen Jindal and his passionate commitment to philanthropy, institution\nbuilding and nation building. This global recognition of JGU in barely 9 years\nis truly remarkable and something that we can be genuinely proud of in every\nsense of the word,\u201d Professor Dr Raj Kumar added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Professor (Dr)\nRaj Kumar added further, \u201cUniversities have a larger role to play in the\ndevelopment of societies. They need to assume a leadership role that transcends\nnational boundaries and are able to appreciate diversity and pluralism in all its\nforms and manifestations. Universities need to recognize that they have a\nspecial role in society.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
