About the Office

With the exponential growth in the number of schools, faculty, staff, and students at O.P. Jindal Global University, the complexity of academic processes, perspectives, courses, and stakeholder aspirations has also increased significantly. Further, JGU’s vision and mission of interdisciplinarity require graduates to possess transferable skills suited to diverse fields of employment, along with a deep understanding of and respect for diversity and pluralistic societies.

To address these evolving academic needs, a central university-level office was envisioned to facilitate and coordinate teaching and learning in an integrated, efficient, and collaborative manner. The Office of Academic Planning, Co-ordination and Interdisciplinarity (APCI) was announced on 31 January 2017 and became operational on 1 May 2017.

Vision

“To foster an integrated, interdisciplinary, and student-centric academic ecosystem that strengthens academic excellence, innovation, flexibility, and collaboration across JGU.”

Student-Centric Approach
