New\nDelhi, November 23, 2017<\/strong>:  The interdisciplinary O.P. Jindal Global University\n(JGU) has been ranked among the Top 10 Public and Top 10 Private Institutions\nin India by QS University Rankings: BRICS 2018 edition. JGU became the YOUNGEST\nIndian University and also the FIRST and ONLY private university in Haryana to\nhave been ranked in an international ranking. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

JGU\nis placed in the 251-300 rank out of 9,000 universities in the BRICS region\n(covering five countries \u2013 Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa), placing\nit in the top 2.8% of the universities in the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Based\non eight performance indicators, namely academic reputation, employer\nreputation, proportion of staff with a PhD, faculty\/student ratio, research\npublications and citation rates, and proportion of international faculty and\nstudents, the ranking provides insights into the relative strengths and\nweaknesses of leading institutions in these five fast-developing economies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sharing\nhis thoughts on the accomplishment, JGU\u2019s Founding Chancellor, Mr. Naveen\nJindal <\/strong>said, \u201c<\/strong>It is\nan extraordinarily proud moment for JGU as well as for Haryana to enter into\nthe prestigious QS Rankings. The entry of Indian universities into\ninternational rankings have created new opportunities for not only the ranked\nhigher education institutions but also in providing models of excellence for\nIndian higher education. Given India\u2019s demographic profile and the country\u2019s\ndeveloping context, there is an urgent need for greater CSR investments and\nphilanthropic donations to be made in education in India. This will be\nimperative to raising the quality of higher education in India. Indian higher\neducation institutions will need to draw from the experiences of leading global\nuniversities. There is a conscious need based upon a sense of conviction and\npurpose to build institutions of global excellence at a level which can compete\nwith international institutions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The\nJindal Group inspired by the vision and farsightedness of its founder Shri O.P.\nJindal is deeply committed to promoting corporate philanthropy through CSR and\nother social initiatives. JGU is an exceptional example of how CSR can\ncontribute to nation building.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Talking\nabout the achievement and JGU\u2019s commitment to global\nhigher education, Professor (Dr.) C. Raj Kumar<\/strong>, Founding Vice\nChancellor, JGU, said, \u201cThis is an extraordinary accomplishment for a young\nuniversity, which has just completed eight years since its founding. We have\npursued and succeeded in developing the broadest possible framework of\ninternational collaborations that has enabled JGU to partner and work with over\n200 universities and higher education institutions spread across over 50\ncountries in the world<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The\ngrowth and evolution of JGU as an institution of global excellence is also\nmatched with the expansion of the schools and the programmes. JGU is an inter\ndisciplinary university offering a curriculum that helps the students to pursue\na range of learning opportunities through rigorous classroom teaching,\neffective clinical programmes, experiential learning and research and writing\nwork.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our\ninstitutional commitment and global aspiration reflects through the fact that over\n20% of our faculty are non-Indian nationals recruited from 20 different\ncountries who are engaged in innovative teaching pedagogy and research driven\nby a mission to contribute to excellence. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The\nfuture of Indian universities will depend upon how effectively we address the\nchallenges of providing access to high quality education for a large number of\nyoung people while promoting aspirations to build institutions of global\nexcellence.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The\nVice Chancellor also stressed on the need to establish world-class private\nuniversities in India which are top ranked in the world and are reputed for\nexcellence in teaching, research and capacity-building. \u201cJGU has been\nestablished as a not for profit institution with the view to promoting\nexcellence in higher education and it is fulfilling to see our efforts being\nacknowledged at a global level.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The\nrelease of the QS University Rankings: BRICS 2018 comes at a time when the Government\nof India has invited proposals from eligible higher education institutions in\nthe country to apply to be designated an \u2018Institution of Eminence\u2019 under the\nGovernment\u2019s efforts to build world class universities in India.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The QS University Ranking BRICS 2018 edition was unveiled at\nan event in New Delhi by Professor (Dr.) V.S. Chauhan, Chairman, University\nGrants Commission (UGC). Speaking on the occasion Dr Chauhan said \u201cIndian education has expanded and we are trying to\nchange a lot of regulations which were made a long time back. This system also\nprovides space for rankings and the government is also realising that the\npresence of Indian universities in these rankings is a matter of prestige for\nthe country. However, the country is at a very early stage of its universities\ncoming of age. We will celebrate that day when of 350 universities 150 of them\nwill be Indian institutions in the BRICS rankings.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mr.\nAshwin Fernandes, Regional Director – Middle East, North Africa & India, QS\nIntelligence Unit introduced the ranking system to the audience. Speaking\nfurther, he remarked \u201cThe QS University Rankings: BRICS provides greater\ninsight into the state of higher education in some of the world\u2019s\nfastest-growing economies. Rankings play a big role in shaping the opinions of\nstudents, both current and prospective, parents, employers and government about\nthe quality of education institutions. This also generates an appetite for\nexcellence among the higher education institutions.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
