Jindal Global Law School (JGLS), India’s first global law school is situated on a 102-acre state-of-
the-art residential JGU campus. The vision of JGLS is to promote global courses, global
programmes, global curriculum, global research, global collaborations, and global interaction
through a global faculty. In the academic year 2022-23, JGLS offers five-year B.A. LL.B. (Hons),
B.B.A. LL.B. (Hons), and B.Com LL.B. (Hons) programmes; a three year LL.B. (Hons)
programme; B.A. (Legal Studies) and B.A. (Criminology and Criminal Justice) programmes; and a
one year LLM and Ph.D. (Law) programmes. The LL.M. programme of JGLS is offered for law
graduates, corporate lawyers, legal practitioners, civil servants, diplomats and judges with ten
specialisations.
Jindal Global Law School (JGLS) is committed to advancing the standards of legal education
through global connectedness. The global approach of JGLS, and the internationalisation thereof,
aims at the holistic development of students. Apart from the internationally trained faculty, global
curriculum, and global pedagogy, internationalisation at JGLS is designed primarily in the form of
short-term and long-term student mobility programmes, dual-degree programmes, and pathway
programmes. These programmes, and the numerous opportunities associated with them, provide
students with the essential comparative perspective required to deal with global issues. As the
inter-cultural pedagogy promotes intercultural empathies, JGLS fulfils its role in global society.
JGLS has pursued and succeeded in developing the broadest possible framework of international
collaborations that has enabled us to partner and work with leading law schools across the world.
This has enabled us to ensure a world-class law school experience for our students, making JGLS
one of the top-ranked law schools across the world. JGLS is ranked as India’s Number 1 law school
for five years in a row and ranked as 72nd Globally as per the QS World University Rankings by
Subject 2024.
O.P. Jindal Global University was born out of a vision that India deserves to have universities that
can provide world class education, benchmarking with the best in the world in terms of faculty,
education, research, collaborations, and infrastructure. JGU is on a relentless pursuit of promoting
excellence in institution building. It is an extraordinary and unprecedented “institutional moment”
for JGU to witness history as its first school, the Jindal Global Law School, is ranked number 1 in
India and 72nd in the world. All the schools of JGU are on this pathway to achieve global
recognition and eminence.

We congratulate Jindal Global Law School for its incredible success in the QS Law School rankings.
Cornell was one of the first American law schools to partner with Jindal, a relationship that has only
deepened with time. We take some measure of pride in our partnership, particularly now that the rest of
the world of legal education is beginning to recognize what an exceptional school Jindal has become.

The Jindal Global Law School, now selected as number one among more than 1700 law schools in
India, is an institution that represents the robust, brave system of justice in the tradition of Ashoka and
Gandhi. JGLS is the best law school in India because it represents the best traditions of India.
Compassion, fairness, faith, determination and sacrifice are virtues that bespeak the great moral
leadership India has supplied the world, and they are qualities that resound at JGLS. I do not doubt its
graduates and faculty leaders will continue to help our world become a more fair and healthy home for
all those who inhabit it.

Warm congratulations to Jindal Global Law School, barely ten years old, and already top-ranked in
India, overcoming the huge challenge of several long-established, outstanding law schools in the
country anchored in the collective consciousness of the country as the best to date.
I am pleased to learn about the recognition of Jindal Global Law School by QS. It is a remarkable
achievement and one for which the leadership, faculty and students deserve full credit. It is very good to

The ascendancy of JGLS, in a decade, is nothing short of astounding. This ranking is a reflection of
the outstanding work of the incredibly talented faculty, staff, and students. JGLS is a well-known,
highly respected hub of research and learning that has its reach on 6 continents. Even though it has
accomplished so much already, I know that its potential is still far from being fully realized, which is a
mind-boggling thought of its own! Congratulations JGLS!

Remarkably, in the space of a decade, Jindal has emerged as one of the world’s leading law schools,
and the new QS rankings are simply the most recent recognition of Jindal’s excellence. We, at
Georgetown Law, are proud of our strong ties with Jindal, and I congratulate the entire Jindal
community on their great achievements and this recognition.
Never before in India, and perhaps in the wider world of legal education, has a new Law School
commenced its existence with the publication of a learned journal; the Jindal Global Law Review marks
thus an inaugural break in the history of Indian legal education. I wish the Review all success, which is
already ensured by the eminent content of the

One might think that after the glorious success of the first ten years, JGU and its Law School would slow
down and rest on their laurels. That would fundmentally misunderstand the magic and majesty taking
place on the JGU campus in Sonipat. The desire to be a great scholarly and teaching institution does not
fade with success; it fires success. The recognition by QS Law School Rankings of JGLS is at the same time
breathtaking, for a school only in its initial years, and everything those of us who have followed the law
school expect.
