Jindal Global Business School accorded prestigious AACSB International Accreditation
Jindal Global Business School (JGBS) of O.P. Jindal Global University (JGU), has been awarded the prestigious AACSB International (Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business) Accreditation, one of the highest standards of excellence for business schools worldwide. This distinction places JGBS among the top business schools in the world and among a very small, select group of institutions in India that have achieved this honour.
Founded in 1916, the AACSB represents the gold standard of global quality assurance in business education. Around 6% of business schools worldwide and only around 1% of business schools in India have earned this accreditation, making it one of the most rigorous, demanding, and respected benchmarks of excellence. It recognises institutions that demonstrate innovation, impact, and a commitment to continuous improvement in management education.
The AACSB accreditation follows a multi-year, peer-reviewed evaluation process that reflects JGBS's deep commitment to academic rigor, faculty excellence, and societal impact.
Mr. Naveen Jindal, Chancellor and Benefactor, JGU, said, "The AACSB International accreditation marks a defining moment in the journey of JGBS and indeed for the entire JGU community. The recognition affirms our founding vision of establishing a truly world-class university that nurtures global leaders, innovative thinkers, and socially responsible citizens. For me, this milestone is a powerful reminder of what we can achieve when we combine excellence with purpose. I extend my heartfelt congratulations to Professor (Dr.) C. Raj Kumar, the Founding Vice Chancellor of JGU, and Professor (Dr.) Mayank Dhaundiyal, Dean of JGBS, whose leadership and dedication have guided the School to this pinnacle of achievement. I also salute our exceptional faculty, students, alumni, and staff for their unwavering commitment to quality and integrity. The AACSB accreditation places JGBS among the global elite and strengthens India's position in the landscape of international business education. We will continue to build on this momentum to make JGU a beacon of academic excellence and innovation that inspires generations to come."
Professor (Dr.) C. Raj Kumar, Founding Vice Chancellor, JGU, said, "The AACSB accreditation awarded to JGBS is a moment of historic pride, not only for our university but also for India's higher education landscape. This milestone underscores our steadfast commitment to building institutions that meet the highest global standards of quality, governance, and impact. I express my deepest gratitude to our visionary Chancellor, Mr. Naveen Jindal, whose unwavering belief in the transformative power of education continues to shape JGU's journey from excellence to eminence. The AACSB process is among the most rigorous in the world, and achieving it reflects years of institutional reflection, innovation, and improvement. I congratulate Professor (Dr.) Mayank Dhaundiyal, the Dean of JGBS, and the entire community of faculty, staff, and students who have made this possible. This accreditation affirms our dedication to research-driven teaching, ethical leadership, and global engagement. It also sends a clear message that Indian universities can not only match but surpass international benchmarks. JGU remains committed to advancing the frontiers of knowledge and preparing our graduates to be impactful leaders for an interconnected and rapidly evolving world."
