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%).

OP Jindal Global University Launches India’s First University Administrative Service (UAS)
April 13, 2021: OP Jindal Global Institution of Eminence Deemed to be University (JGU) has unveiled India's First University Administrative Service (UAS) scheme for its graduates in a ground-breaking initiative. This one-of-a-kind and unprecedented initiative would reshape university leadership and management programmes, resulting in a community of highly skilled and trained people being fast-tracked into the university's senior management and leadership teams for internal governance and administration.
The University Administrative Service has the power to change the face of academic leadership at JGU. It will also be a groundbreaking mechanism for identifying, retaining, and training expertise and capability, as well as providing graduate students with direct access to JGU's well-known and respected career pathways. The University Administrative Service, a JGU project, has the potential to be a game-changer in Indian academia, as Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) across the country need structural institutional changes, the core of which is linked to improving internal governance and the standard of administration.
Applicants to the UAS programme must go through a very straightforward and rigorous application process that involves submitting a Statement of Purpose, taking a specially designed UAS aptitude test, participating in group meetings, and having a personal interview. The UAS Executives will receive three months of rigorous preparation and will be mentored by members of the senior managerial leadership after being selected. The anticipated start date for UAS executives is June/July 2021. The UAS Executives will be hired as Assistant Directors at JGU after completing three months of training and assessment. Based on their success and presentation of leadership competencies, they would have the opportunity to advance to the Director level role within eight years of entering JGU.
Graduates of BA/BBA LLB (Hons), LLB, LLM, MBA, IBM, MA(DLB), and MA(PP) programmes are qualified to apply for the JGU University Administrative Service. The aim is to recognise terminal and master's degree holders. Applicants must be under the age of 25 and have a strong academic background to be considered for the UAS. They must provide a detailed resume that includes information about their education and work experience (if applicable), as well as their academic record and a Statement of Purpose. Short-listed applicants will take a screening test called the "UAS Aptitude Test (UAT)” to determine their values and ethics, verbal ability, analytical skills, reading comprehension, data interpretation and sufficiency, quantitative ability, and general knowledge and current events, accompanied by a group discussion and a personal interview.
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. JGU is the only university in the category of non-STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) and non-medicine universities to be recognised as ‘Institution of Excellence’.
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.
Jindal Global University accorded Institute of Eminence status
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. The transition offers greater scientific, institutional and financial flexibility for these institutions. While private institutions have the autonomy, public institutes will also be supported by Rs 1,000 crore each for a period of five years to enhance their growth and improve their ranking in India.

Placements: Welspun Group, Bajaj Allianz, Veritas Legal, and Khaitan & Co. were the firms where most of our LL.M. students got hired. The college placement team sent us for internships in our final semester, often through connections with past students of our college. The packages were not very high but were acceptable for the initial stage of work.
Placements: The packages are pretty average, but the exposure you are offered is unmatched. You get to get along with students from all over the world. If you are planning to build industry connections or just your personal network, Jindal is the place for you. There's no way anyone can feel left out at Jindal's, everyone is super nice here.
Placements: Mostly, law firms and consultancies, such as BBNC, LexCounsel, and Zinnov, have partnered with O P Jindal Global Law School to provide students with successive career prospects. Such efforts are not enough, as they provide minimal job offers. However, they offer valuable suggestions for developing a valuable profile through internship experience.
Placements: Trilegal, L&L, and Veritas Legal are the most common and repeated recruiters from our law college. Basically, the recruitment process starts at the final period of course completion, which looks for students with zero backlogs. The packages are not very attractive or high but are okay enough for students looking for jobs. Every time, we had to ask permission from everyone in our discipline while exploring visits for internships and projects. This framework was frustrating and made us waste a lot...
Placements: Top consulting firms have good connectivity with the college, but rate of recruitment is not so fulfilling as like the expectations by the students. Even the start pay would be literally between Rs 15,000 to Rs 20,000 per month. But we are paying lakhs of money for getting good placement opportunities.
Placements: The range of successive terms of placement would possibly be by 60 to 70% throughout the year. Due to the heavy competition and some other factors, the rate of employability is decreasing nowadays. All the firms participated in the campus recruitment expect experience, so we were paying a lot for doing internships. Few of them look for opportunities on their own.
