EampY-FICCI Report recognises JGLS as a Premium Higher Education Institute

The Jindal Global Law School (JGLS) of O.P. Jindal Global University (JGU) has been recognized as a “Premium Higher Education Institute” (HEI) by Ernst & Young and Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FICCI).

 

A recent report relating to higher education in India entitled “New Realities, New Possibilities: The Changing Face of Indian Higher Education” published by E&Y and FICCI observes that, “Premium HEIs have evolved over the last decade and are comparable to the best in the world…offering their students with the best of global standards in terms of infrastructure, curriculum, faculty, systems and processes” and target students going abroad.

 

According to the report, JGLS's faculty-student ratio of 1:10 is among the best in the country and JGLS has one of the best faculty members drawn from various globally acclaimed institutes. JGLS uses host of global teaching methods in the form of class presentations, group assignments, on field research and field visits, video-conferences; web based learning, live simulation exercises etc.

 

Commenting on this development, the Dean of JGLS and the Vice Chancellor of JGU, Professor (Dr.) C. Raj Kumar said, "It is truly remarkable that within a span of two years since the establishment of O.P. Jindal Global University and its first school, Jindal Global Law School, we have been able to achieve this important distinction and recognition. The collaborative conferences and programmes with Oxford, Cambridge, Harvard, Yale, Columbia, Michigan, Indiana, Cornell and many other institutions around the world has truly put us on the world map as a unique centre for excellence in global legal education. Our emphasis on multi-disciplinary research and publications with the Jindal Global Law Review, several research reports and our faculty’s publications are important steps towards establishing a research-intensive University in India."             

 

Reacting to the E & Y and FICCI report, the Chair of the International Board of  Advisors of Jindal Global Law School and Member of the Governing Body of O.P. Jindal Global University, Professor Peter Schuck, Emeritus Professor of Law, Yale University observed: “The astonishingly rapid ascent of the O.P. Jindal Global University into the first rank of higher education in India is dramatic testimony to what hard work, extraordinary leadership, and clear vision can accomplish even under the most difficult conditions. India must now cultivate these qualities elsewhere, if the nation is to realize its promise."

 

The Executive summary of the report notes that the Indian higher education system has established itself as one of the largest in the world, in terms of number of institutions and student enrolment. Higher education spends in India are currently estimated at Rs. 46,200 crore and are projected to grow to nearly Rs. 150,000 crore in the next ten years, reflecting an average growth rate of 12.8 percent. The report also observes that there are increasing demands for global education and demand for employability-related education. The report stresses the need to align increase in supply to changing needs of students.

 

Emphasizing the role of the Government, the report notes that, "it has to play much larger role in facilitating new possibilities to effectively cater to the emerging demands of students. Other areas like privatization and globalization also require incentives from the Government to steer the India's higher education system into the league of the best in the world".

 

The report stresses that these possibilities also provide the means to build a more robust higher education system by addressing the primary challenges of access, equity and quality.

LOL. This thread reminds of the discussions around IIPM and Arindam Choudhary a few years ago, and how IIPM students defended their good institution on all conceivable public fora. Understandably so, after all, parents can buy you a seat worth lacks but building brand equity through full page ads or sponsored ratings is a whole different ball game,no? And defending brand equity (and supporting efforts to build it) is our hands!This is not to question whether Jindal had great faculty or not; or whether it had great infrastructure (at 5-6lacs/per it better have tht!). I am sure it will indeed prove to be great educational institution in the next few years. But paid news and purchased rankings do exist, don't they? Clearly students of this hallowed institution are not currently taught to look at news itself critically. I just have one question, what are the standards on which the great E&Y and FICCI used to come up with these ratings? I am not an NLS student or alumna, so please spare me the IBM/apple example and try and answer the question I raised. It would be even better if any of you could provide a link to this great and genuine report.

To whomsoever it may concern...There is a reason why we are a Global law school & not National. We will be global lawyers and leaders of tomorrow.NLU-D, its a pigeon hole campus and i went to NLU-J too and saw there plight ...with pathetic sports facilities. We screwed all the teams from the so called NLUs...as a matter of fact..JGLS promises to produce gentlemen's and dudes...i as a matter of fact am a stud with the hottest girls mad about me. We like to maintain standards and which is why I dumped my girlfriend for not being in an elite institution like Jindal...Our faculty and our curriculum is impeccable...soon we'll start winning the moots also and will be on the top the table every where...We have contacts so we can intern in the best places too...has anyone from any national law school interned in White & Case

For once I did consider JGLS as an option for my younger sister. When I spoke to the admissions officer, I was very disappointed. Though he tried his best to give me a grand picture. He kept on repeating AZB & Amarchand and their tie up with Jindal. I am an alumnus of a National Law School and for me nothing matters more than the quality of students i.e. your peer group. I learnt the most in law school because of the people around me. It's been three years since Jindal's inception and their students have failed to perform in most the moots and other student events like wise. My junior's told me the one moot they could manage to win was NLS Arb. Honestly, lets compare Jindal's growth with Naitonal Law University,Delhi. In its 3rd year...they rocked the mooting scene in India. Their students have carved a niche for themselves. In India, IITs,IIMs and National Law Schools are not known for their faculty but their students, who with their hardwork and diligence have proved their mettle

@Rohit: Once again the infamous JGLS-NLS debate has struck again.What is your perception of student quality?What are some of the essential requisites for student quality?Is student quality determined by engaging in intellectually stimulating conversations?Is that what you are trying to say?I am a student here at Jindal and I have been exposed to a wonderful environment.I agree with the fact that NLU-D has achieved more success than Jindal especially in mooting.But if you look at law schools like Harvard,Yale,Stanford etc. their success is measured by their publications.Students focus more on publishing papers rather than mooting and debating.The Ivy League schools are more consolidated than our law schools.They work as a unit.Talking about standards,if you do a comparative analysis between LSAT and CLAT you'll find the standards which LSAT demands are far more higher than CLAT.So you are saying that a law school's reputation is built on a students's mooting skills.I find that very amusing and hard to believe.If NLS has a very high standard then it should be in the list of top 100 law schools in the world.Why aren't students from NLS doing an LL.M in NLS after finishing their BA.LLB?Why do graduates from NLS do their LL.M in Yale,Harvard or Stanford?Yale Harvard and Columbia give equal importance to JD as well as LL.M.program.Why aren't any of the BA.LLB grads doing an LL.M program if the student quality is so good?From what I have heard LL.M. students in NLS are treated like garbage.Also,why did you ask the admission officer about Jindal?You could have visited the campus and then made an informed decision.Did you converse with any of the professors?I don't think so.Also,with due regard to mooting,Jindal reached the semi-finals of the Henri Dunant moot court competition and lost to NLS by a narrow margin.The judges in these moot court competitions are biased towards the National Law Schools.This is a fact.I think your juniors failed to mention that.I suggest you be a little more intellectually curious rather than jumping to conclusions.

Look who's talking about publications here. JGLS website mentions publications most of which is either by your faculty or research associates. For god sake, do you people even know how to footnote let alone the footnoting styles...hahaha...Guys you haven't seen the best from the national law school...Our first year students would have more reputed publications than your senior most batch. Trust me I am not running into conclusions. I'v edited papers sent by JGLS students for publications in our journals and have rejected most of them. Some of your seniormost batch students have publications which were actually my course project and they begged me for something so I didn't mind doing some charity. My friends at JGLS told me they just need original papers and their faculty will use all their contacts to get it published. Good luck loosers....btw i saw your 3rd grade speaker in Dunant...semis...he didn't deserve to win d best orator....this wasn't just my view but other teams too were shocked at the outcome... no wonder when your team coach was a judge in the preliminary rounds...isn't that foul play..huh...

What a great PR exercise for Jindal Law School. With its 5-6 lac fees per annum per student, access and equality indeed! Lets forget all other issues regarding regulation of private institutes. Why bother when we can buy ratings and recognition! Not on line in the articles about what the standards for this "recognition" were. Bar and Bench should have done better than just copy-pasting press releases by JGLS.

@ Lalalawyer and Mayank Suri : No wonder such statements are coming from JGLS students.Trust me people it's their parently dishonestly earned money speaking. The parents couldn't think of anything else than blowing the money this way.. 6 lakhs per annum on their dumb ass children. If Jindals really wanted to do some charity or sincerely wanted to contribute to the growth of legal education in India than they wouldn't have made this place an elitest hub. Can anyone tell me if cracking LSAT amongst 500 studnets is actually a test of merit.As confirmed reports tell me that less than 500 students took the LSAT for Jindal and most of them didn't even bother to join. Many of my friends who didn't even fill the LSAT form took admission in JGLS as they had no other choice.

Does anyone know how JGLS allures students ? Those who do not get in ANYWHERE, are shown dazzling goodies to jump for. And why not ? If you do not have brains, or capacity to get in anywhere good, then of course u shall turn to your loaded pockets to buy yourself prestige and aura. No probs, mate. We all know what is what. No one grudges you the right to give yourself an ego massage. Just do not make a laughing stock out of yourself by proclaiming such nonsense in the public domain. Boast in peace !!

@Akshay Bd: You have a knack for fiction my friend.I have seen the best from National Law Schools and the worst.My sister is from a National Law School and please don't get me started on the number of retards I have seen.You say National Law School is one of the premier institutes in the country.Why isn't it on the list of top 100 law schools in the world.Fine, national law schools have been instrumental in producing some really bright and intelligent students.That's what you claim but what about faculty?And how old are you again?Because looking at the message you have just written,I am guessing you must have not even reached puberty.You sound like a god damn juvenile delinquent.I suggest you get your facts straight before you go around spreading your pseudo comments on how superior your institution is compared to other private institutions.Please try to be a little more professional in your approach whilst expressing your opinions on this site.Isn't that unprofessional on your part considering you are an alumnus of a very prestigious law school?Oh yes aren't you the guy who got a full scholarship to study in Leiden University?Hahahaha.I am sure they would be gratified to have you as their student.Just don't make a fool of yourself like the way you have done on this site.

@ Akshay, I have seen a lot of research papers that your college mates have written (including yours) and I am sad to say that the quality is pathetic. One of your top ranked classmate told me about people copying commentaries for their projects. Needless to say, it is clear how you people manage your publications, if any. Whereas students in JGLS are failed for the entire course if even a single sentence is copied without citing. Also, the publication part on the website only mentions the publications by the faculty members. Your way of writing gives a good impression of your intellect and inflated mind.

Hey, Im not trying to convince you that you have to appreciate Jindal, but id like to understand why you are so against it. If you actually look at it they have good faculty and good resources. The students who go there seem to display satisfaction at the education they receive. They also seem to enjoy the college experience that they receive there. Finally why do you think everything Jindal does is a publicity stunt. Jindal is new and they need to inform potential aspirants through some medium that they're doing a good job( at least until they have their first batch graduating). The above report is by Ernst and Young which is an established institution, there report definitely has some credibility and publishing it in the media, will give an indication to potential aspirants that the school is doing well in such a short phase

Completely agree with Student@JGLS.Guys from other law schools need to visit JGLS and study the activities it is doing before making such biased observations.Both E&Y and FICCI are respected organisations and their reports are respected and considered not only by industry but also by the government.JGLS is emerging as a law school in a similar manner as ISB became India's top B'school.

to PAPA FROM NLS, NEW DELHI, irrespective of who is on the the FICCI we are doing a good job and everyone's pretty happy with the education they receive and the cost that they pay.Unfortunately Jindal does not have the acronym NLS written anywhere on it, so it is really difficult for us to brand it to the public. In light of this it is essential for us to post such reports and tell the world that at least there is a stamp of approval from some quarter.Even if you were to assume that the report is biased,Institutions like Ernst and Young and FICCI have at least conceded that it is worth compromising their image and time towards publishing such a report. The Indian legal education market seems to have a high percentage of captive users for the NLS brand, therefore new institutions can afford to open a school design a logo that has terms like "national" "law" or "university" or "school" fixed in its name and then use a standardized test like "CLAT" and thus manage to not spend a single cent on advertisement or publicity to attract its students. In fact all national schools are a cartel and they use their captive chicken brained audience to deliver a message to the entire world that "education is only for the intelligent" "if you pass our entrance test then you should consider yourself intelligent", and finally "you will succeed only if you go to one of our national law school ". Thus it is national law schools that indulge in false advertising, but they don't use the media as the medium, they condition their chicken brained students to bad mouth anyone that try to compete against them. The way i see it, national law school is like the IBM of 90's while Jindal Global law school is like 'apple'. Their philosophy of education is built on Jiddu Krishnamurti's concept of education and most importantly they make their student view law as an art thus attempting to generate more passionate people in the process.
