New Delhi, June 28, 2018: <\/strong>The recently\nreleased QS I-Gauge<\/strong> World University Rankings, 2019<\/strong>,\nhas revealed that Indian institutions recorded a positive performance on\nvarious categories. Amongst 1,000 universities worldwide, 24 Indian\nuniversities feature in the rankings \u2013 seven improved their rank, nine remained\nstable and five are newly-ranked. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In\nthis changing landscape of the Indian higher education system, rankings are now\nbeginning to play an important part for students to choose a university for\nfurther study. Undoubtedly, rankings have come to play a significant role in\nshaping the opinions of current and potential students, parents, employers, and\ngovernments about the quality of tertiary education institutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According\nto Ashwin Fernandes, CEO, QS I-Gauge<\/strong>, \u201cIndian students choosing\nwhere to study are increasingly likely to be persuades by a university\u2019s\nranking. Hence, rankings are now becoming an integral area of focus for Indian\nuniversities\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The rankings\nplace O.P. Jindal Global University (JGU) in the 251-300 rank in the\nBRICS region<\/strong> (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa). JGU is recognised for\nits efforts under several categories including diamond rating for teaching\n& learning; employability; facilities; social responsibility; and\naccreditation and entrepreneurship. Significantly, the University has received\na gold ranking for faculty quality and a silver for research. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cJGU\u2019s\nranking in the QS BRICS University Rankings in November last year followed by\nthe QS I-Gauge Diamond Rating this year is noteworthy given that it is only\nnine years old. JGU is an example of how effective a young institution can be,\nif done right. The generous philanthropic contribution\nthat established JGU and its academic and institutional leadership are\nstellar examples of what is possible in higher education in India if\npursued with the objective of promoting excellence\u201d, added Fernandes.  <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mr. Naveen Jindal,\nFounding Chancellor <\/strong>and benefactor of\nO.P. Jindal Global University<\/strong> observed: “This is a fantastic\nacademic year for JGU at many\nlevels – the QS BRICS Rankings in November 2017 recognising\nJGU among the top 251-300\nuniversities in the BRICS region, the QS I-Gauge Diamond Rating in this year and the MHRD’s\nrecognition for autonomy a few months ago being one of only two\nIndian private universities to be given this distinction makes a very\nspecial and unparalleled achievement. The vision of JGU since its\nestablishment in 2009 was to build a world class university in India.\nThese national and international recognitions serve as a testimonial to\nthe outstanding contribution of the faculty, students and staff of JGU\nand I extend my congratulations to them and all other\nstakeholders for their passion, commitment and dedication\nto institution building.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Commenting\non the accolade, Professor (Dr.) C. Raj Kumar, Founding Vice\nChancellor, JGU<\/strong> said, \u201cThis is indeed a wonderful\nrecognition. We are truly humbled by the fact that all what we have\nbeen doing in the last decade has come to fruition in this manner. International rankings of universities have\ncreated new opportunities for Indian universities to aspire towards seeking\nexcellence. The paradigm shift in the Indian higher education system is being\npromoted through efforts to create world class universities in both the public\nand the private sector. The historical distinctions borne out of biases and\nprejudices between public and private universities needs to be eliminated in\nIndia, if we are to promote excellence in our institutions of higher learning.\nAll universities should be treated equally and ought to have a public character\nand should be contributing towards common good\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The\nrankings are based on the seven performance indicators and provides insights\ninto the relative strengths and weaknesses of leading institutions in these\nfive fast-developing economies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

JGU\u2019s\nachievement in this latest assessment is notable given the young age of the\ninstitution. The University made its debut in the QS BRICS University Rankings\nonly last November. In the last decade, JGU has grown into a multidisciplinary\nresearch oriented university with 8 different schools in law, business,\ninternational affairs, public policy, liberal arts, journalist,\narchitecture and banking & finance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

QS\nI-Gauge was created by QS Quacquarelli Symonds and was introduced in India to\nhelp address the growing uncertainty around existing rating and rankings\nassessments of private sector educational institutions. The rankings are\nunderstood to follow stringent international standards for evaluation of an\ninstitution, while using indicators that capture the dynamic landscape of\nIndian higher education.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
