The journey has been one full of struggles and setbacks, of small steps and giant leaps. For the first few years of our founding, we were not as focussed on benchmarking ourselves against other leading universities, but we were paying attention and putting all our efforts on building JGU and providing the best learning experience to our students. The last few years have witnessed a significant impetus in our efforts to benchmark our university and indeed our Law School to benchmark ourselves internationally. This has gained phenomenal results, including today’s landmark achievement."
