O.P. Jindal Global University Breaks Into The World’s Top 500 Universities in the QS Graduate Employability Rankings 2022
September 23, 2021: In the QS GER 2022, O.P Jindal Global University (JGU) is ranked 301-500 overall. As a result of QS GER's global assessment of higher education institutions' employability outcomes, JGU is one of the leading universities in the world for developing viable and globally recognised professional pathways for youngsters. It is remarkable that this was accomplished despite the global pandemic's instability. JGU's ability to generate high-achieving achievers is a result of the university's cutting-edge and progressive curriculum, as well as effective career-services governance, which enables JGU graduates to be highly marketable and to act as change agents in the organisations in which they work.
This honor also reflects JGU's unwavering dedication to defying success stereotypes in Indian higher education. This is evidenced by the fact that this achievement has several aspects. To begin with, JGU is the only Indian university included in these rankings that focuses solely on Social Sciences, Arts, and Humanities. Second, it is one of only two private Indian universities on the list, the other being the Birla Institute of Technology and Science, Pilani, which has been around for nearly six decades (BITS Pilani). Finally, JGU, which was founded in 2009, is India's youngest institution among the 11 other Indian universities that have made the QS GER rankings this year. Six IITs, the University of Delhi, BITS Pilani, the University of Mumbai, the Indian Institute of Science, and the University of Calcutta are on the list. JGU is the newest of the Indian universities ranked in QS GER 2022, and it is also one of the top 71 in Graduate Employment Rate (GER). JGU also received an impressive 86.9/100 in Graduate Employment Rate, a key indicator considered for the rankings that involve measuring the proportion of graduates in full or part-time employment within 12 months of graduation (excluding those who choose to pursue further study or those who have made themselves unavailable for work).
The QS GER approach is particularly robust and guarantees that many and different aspects are taken into account. QS considers how well-respected the institutions are among employers, whether they are nurturing high-achievers, how connected the institutions are to companies, and how attractive the institution's recent graduates are to employers when determining these employability rankings of higher education institutions around the world. To compute the scores for GER 2022, QS used the following factors and weightings: employer reputation (30%), alumni outcomes (25%), partnerships with employers per faculty (25%), employer-student relationships (10%), and graduate employment rate (10%).

Successful candidates will be hired as Assistant Directors right away, with a flexible and lucrative remuneration plan that includes salaries and incentives that are equal with the best in the world. Until being assigned to specific departments, they will go through a rigorous induction and training programme, which will include the Office of Career Services, Finance & Accounts, Office of Rankings, Benchmarking, and Institutional Transformation (ORBIT), General Administration, Strategic Initiatives (Office of the Vice Chancellor), Office of Online Education, Admissions & Outreach, and Human Resource.

Vice Chancellor presents the need for 10-Point agenda to build World-Class University
November 6, 2019: Looking at the need for achieving excellence and rising higher in the global rankings, Vice-Chancellor of O P Jindal Global University, Raj Kumar presented a 10-point agenda to build institutions of eminence, capable of connecting the local needs with global aspirations.

To achieve this goal, there is a need to create multidisciplinary universities and to provide the faculty with adequate resources in order to conduct a cross-disciplinary study — one that encourages innovativeness, remains socially important and responds to the nation's needs.
In addition to recruiting eminent professors both from the country and overseas, Kumar also highlighted the need for transparent admission process without management quota, and establishing international networks and partnerships with leading foreign universities. The idea is to foster diversity, inclusion and connectivity.

August 3, 2019: The Union government has granted the title of ‘Institution of Excellence’ to another 14 higher educational institutes. This includes Indian Institute of Technology, Madras, Shiv Nadar University and O.P Jindal Global University.
