“It is a proud and validating moment that O.P. Jindal Global University (JGU) is ranked India’s #1 private liberal arts and humanities university for the fourth consecutive year. This past year has been one of the most defining and exciting in JGU’s journey, marked by initiatives that reflect our vision and values. From establishing India’s first Constitution Museum and the Rights and Freedoms Academy, to launching the International Mooting Academy and the world’s largest moot court — Nyayabhyasa Mandapam — and inaugurating the superbly equipped Naveen Jindal Sports Academy and the Shallu Jindal Performing Arts Academy, we have reinforced our commitment to providing globally benchmarked experiential, practice-oriented, holistic higher education.

Our consistent India #1 rank in the EW league table is anchored in exceptional faculty competence, with globally trained scholars delivering personalised mentorship through small, interactive classrooms; an innovative curriculum and pedagogy that emphasises interdisciplinary learning, experiential engagement, fieldwork, and flexibility for students to shape their academic pathways; a robust culture of research and innovation that actively involves students in inquiry and knowledge creation; world-class infrastructure that supports a vibrant academic and residential experience; and a strong commitment to internationalism, reflected in a global network of 600 partner universities in 80 countries. Therefore, I am not surprised that JGU has been top-ranked on nine of the ten parameters of higher education excellence, including the important parameters of competence of faculty, curriculum and pedagogy, research and innovation, infrastructure and internationalism. In the coming decade, as we continue to strengthen academic quality across our faculties, we plan to introduce STEM and health sciences disciplines”— Dr. (Prof.) C.
