China, the world\u2019s\nmost populous nation, is also an industrial powerhouse and a sporting giant. It\nhas also been a traditional centre for higher learning since the time of\nConfucius. While many Indian students look to the West for further education,\nit was China that Vinay Sharma chose as the destination to pursue Doctor of\nJuridical Science studies. Last year, not only did he receive his SJD degree\nfrom Guanghua Law School, Zhejiang University, Hangzhou, China, but was also declared\nAll-Rounder Foreign Student of the university.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vinay wanted to become a good lawyer since he was a child. At the Jindal Global Law School (JGLS), where he was a part of the first batch of students, the foundations for his legal ambitions were laid. He calls his time (2009\u201314) at JGLS his formative years, which paved the way for later success. \u2018I will always remain proud of the fact that I was a student of the first batch of JGLS. It is not an exaggeration to say that every single day I learned something substantially new and important,\u2019 he shares. During his time at O.P. Jindal Global University (JGU), he attended international conferences and gained practical exposure through internships with top names in the world of law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His training and\nachievements on campus helped him bag the Zhejiang University Full Scholarship for Master\u2019s in\nChinese Law. According to Vinay,\nstudying on the JGU campus, which stands out for its diversity, helped him prepare\nfor the new experiences in China. Founded in 1897, Zhejiang University is one\nof the oldest and most prestigious institutions of higher education in China. It\ndraws students from all over the world and from different backgrounds. That Vinay\nbecame one of the most loved foreign students on campus, says a lot about him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The transition to China, and adapting to the country\u2019s culture and language had its own challenges. Vinay decided to immerse himself in the culture, spending time with local families, and exploring the many stunning sites the country has to offer. On-campus, his academic achievement spoke for itself, as he won the MOFCOM Full Scholarship for SJD in Chinese Law. Off academics, he won the Gold medal in the Dragon Boat Race, 2019, in Hangzhou, and a Silver medal in the Badminton Tournament organized by the Malaysian Association of Zhejiang University.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A disciplined and\norganized student, as his JGU batch-mates recall, blossomed into a true all-rounder.\nVinay has published several papers that have been widely appreciated, attended international\nconferences, and interacted with leading academics from all over the world. He\nhas now been offered Post-Doctoral Research Fellowship from Zhejiang University.\nHe is also thinking of working as Legal Advisor in Chinese companies. So, for\nVinay, the Eastern promises seem to have come true. Vinay\u2019s future is filled\nwith many exciting possibilities that confirm his belief: you can achieve any\ngoal with your determination and courage.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
