New Delhi, 2 July 2019<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

QS\nYoung University Ranking 2020<\/em><\/strong> <\/strong>was\nreleased today for universities that have been established in and after 1969.\nIndian Institute of Technology Guwahati established in 1994, Anna University\nestablished in 1978 and O.P. Jindal Global University established in 2009 are\nthe only three Indian universities that figure in these young university\nrankings. JGU is the only private university from India and the only\nuniversity with a focus entirely on social sciences, arts and humanities to be\nfeatured in the QS Young\nUniversity Rankings 2020.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mr. Ashwin Fernandes, Regional Director for QS and CEO for QS\nI-GAUGE<\/strong> said\nthat \u201cIndia has been making tremendous strides in its higher education\nsystem, and this is evident in the outcome of our rankings. I am delighted\nparticularly to note that a young university such as O.P. Jindal Global\nUniversity has yet again secured another feather in its cap by featuring in the\nQS Top 150 Under 50 Rankings. It is amongst just 3 universities in India to\nfeature in the top 150 of the world, under the age of 50 years\u201d<\/em>. He\nalso added \u201cThe agility and pace at which private universities like JGU\nhave managed to move ahead in 10 years of its formation is commendable and are\na great case study for other institutions, both private and public to emulate.\nGood, agile and transparent governance, with accountability and transparency at\nthe heart of it, is the way to succeed \u2013 and rankings just reflect these\nsentiments\u201d.          <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This\nranking of young universities offers a far more nuanced view of universities\nand higher education institutes that have been set up in the post-modern world,\nin an environment that quickly embraced information communication technology. Mr. Naveen Jindal, Founding\nChancellor of JGU<\/strong> remarked\nthat \u201cthis is yet another laurel in the ever-increasing list of achievements\nof JGU. As a young, private, not-for-profit and philanthropic university, JGU\nhas the ability to quickly adapt to a modern- changing environment\nthrough their strategic initiatives and it has used this advantage to its\nfullest benefit. It is a great tribute to India\u2019s rise in the global league of\nuniversities in which our leadership in knowledge creation and research could\nbe established. My heartfelt congratulations to the leadership,\nstudents, faculty and staff of JGU.\u201d<\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\n


\nProfessor C. Raj Kumar, Founding Vice-Chancellor of JGU<\/strong> remarked, \u201cThis is a significant achievement for a\nuniversity that is just 10 years old. It is a great recognition of the passion,\ncommitment and dedication of the faculty members, students and staff of JGU.\nThis achievement is a testament to what is possible in India if we can work on\nthe basis of a collective imagination of institution building. Even within the\nyoung university rankings, we still compete with universities which have been\nin existence since 1969. Even so, we are committed to remain as a university\nfocussed on the social sciences, arts and humanities and professional studies\nsuch as law and architecture. We have stayed away from pure and natural\nsciences, engineering and medicine which makes this achievement even more\nspecial and significant\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n


\nJGU is the youngest of the 150 universities under 50 years of age\nthat have been ranked. This is significant because in the QS World\nUniversity Ranking, universities of all age groups compete with each other and\nthe younger universities face a comparative disadvantage. This means that the\nUniversity of Oxford, which was established 800 years ago competes with JGU\nwhich is just 10 years old. Age does play a critical role in reputation, both\namongst academics and the industry, which are key parameters in the QS\nWUR. <\/p>\n\n\n\n


\nThe QS WUR is relied upon by millions of students annually to make\nhigher education and admissions related decisions. The rankings are based on a\ncombination of parameters including research output and impact, academic and\nindustry reputation, faculty-student ratio and internationalization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Earlier\non 19th June 2019, QS World University Ranking (WUR) 2020 was released\nworldwide. Out of more than 28,000 universities in the world, less than 4% were\nranked by QS in terms of their performance criteria. 23 Indian universities\nwere ranked this year of which JGU was the sole new entrant.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
