O.P. Jindal Global is a private deemed to be university[1] located at Sonipat in Haryana, India, roughly 20 miles (32 km) from New Delhi. It was established in 2009 as a philanthropic initiative of its founding chancellor, Naveen Jindal, in memory of his father, O.P. Jindal. [3] The university offers 45 programmes in law, liberal arts, life sciences and business. In 2020, UGC named JGU as an Institute of Eminence.[4]

Rankings

[edit]

In 2020, the university was ranked 751–800 in the QS World Rankings 2020,[5] which made it the youngest university to enter the top 1000 of the QS rankings.[6] The Jindal Global Law School was also ranked as India's number one law school, and was one of only two Indian law schools to make it into the rankings.[7][8] In the QS World University Rankings 2021 Edition, JGU was ranked in the top 651–700 universities across the world.[9] This placed JGU as the highest ranked private university in India.[10] As a result of having been instituted in 2009, JGU was also ranked in the QS Top 150 under 50 Rankings in 2020[11] as well as 2021.[12] Jindal law school ranked 76 out of all law schools globally in the QS World Rankings 2021.[13] In the QS World University Rankings 2024, JGU was ranked in the top 951-1000.

The university was ranked as the number 1 private university in India in QS World Rankings 2022.[14] The university has also been granted the status of Institute of Eminence by the Government of India in 2020.[15]

Student Initiatives

[edit]

The university hosts active social service society,[16] legal aid clinic,[17] a Rotaract club,[18] and several cultural societies.[19] The university also hosts two annual festivals: cultural festival Biswamil[20] in the fall semester and sports festival Magnus[21][22] in the spring semester.

Aid clinic

[edit]

The university has a fully student-led legal aid clinic. In 2017, the Clinic won the prestigious Herbert Smith Freehills' Community Engagement Award.[23][24] A legal news website noted that the "student run initiative offers legal counselling services, awareness building sessions and assistance in filing PILs. They will also receive a £2,000 cash prize as part of the award."[25] In 2017, the Clinic's student board members and law students Shivkrit Rai and Nipun Arora exposed an admissions scam at the National School of Drama, Delhi, which also helped the Clinic bag the award.[26]

in 2017, a writ petition was filed by the faculty-director of the Clinic before the Allahabad High Court, which led to the landmark decision of Sudheer Kumar v. State of U.P., ruling that even unaided private schools are covered under the Right to Education Act, and for denial of admission, the school ought to cover cost of education till graduation.[27] In July 2020, the Legal Aid Clinic took up the case of a child who was denied admission by Modern School, Delhi under the EWS quota as per Right to Education Act. The Clinic filed a writ petition through alumnus & advocate Nipun Arora.[28]

The Clinic made complaints against police brutality during CAA protests in Delhi and Uttar Pradesh and also made representations to the NHRC.[29][30][31] In April 2020, during the national lockdown due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Clinic made a representation to the Home Secretary to exempt the protection officers under the Domestic Violence Act.[32] The Clinic also wrote to the union law minister when three environment-advocacy websites were banned in India.[33]

Moot court society

[edit]

The university has a student-run society for moot court competitions and regularly participate in national and international competitions. The society won Oxford Price Media Moot 2014,[34] won Phillip C Jessup International Moot's India rounds in 2015,[35] runners-up in Willem C Vis International Commercial Arbitration moot in Vienna in 2017,[36] World Finalist in 16th Willem C Vis International Commercial Arbitration Moot in Hong Kong in 2019,[37] and runner-up in Phillip C. Jessup International Moot Competition in 2020 and declared the 2nd best speaker (India rounds).[38]

The JGLS moot court society organised the JIRICO Law & Technology Moot Competition (2016),[39] 7th Indian Vis Pre-Moot Competition,[40] Stetson Moot Competition (India Rounds, 2018)[41] and hosted the Stetson International Environmental Moot Court Competition.[37]
