Founding Chancellor of OP Jindal Global University Naveen Jindal appreciated the development as a historic development and said,
“The fact that JGU and JGLS have achieved a stellar reputation and a global recognition in a decade gives us immense satisfaction. But more importantly, it reinforces the power of philanthropy and its role in institution building and nation building.”
National Law School of India (NLSIU) has been ranked in the top 151-200 group.
Harvard University has been ranked Number 1, followed by the University of Oxford, the University of Cambridge, Yale University and Stanford University.
Around 894 law schools were considered to be eligible by QS for their rankings, out of which 300 were ranked.
Vice-Chancellor of JGU Prof C Raj Kumar said while commenting in a press release,
“Having commenced classes in 2009, we are now celebrating a decade of institutional excellence in higher education. The journey has been one full of struggles and setbacks, of small steps and giant leaps. For the first few years of our founding, we were not as focussed on benchmarking ourselves against other leading universities, but we were paying attention and putting all our efforts on building JGU and providing the best learning experience to our students.
The last few years have witnessed a significant impetus in our efforts to benchmark our university and indeed our Law School to benchmark ourselves internationally. This has gained phenomenal results, including today’s landmark achievement.”
