O P Jindal Global University (JGU) was recognised as 'Institution of Eminence' by the government on Tuesday and has entered into a select list of the country's top 10 private institutions.
The Haryana-based university said the announcement was made by the Ministry of Human Resource Development, freeing the varisity from regulatory control and enabling full autonomy.
The development, it said, came two-and-a-half months after the JGU was ranked by the Quacquarelli Symonds (QS) World University Rankings 2020 in the global top 150 amongst all young universities that are under 50 years.
As a part of its application, JGU had submitted a detailed 15-year vision plan seeking to address academic matters, faculty recruitment, student admissions and scholarship, research, collaborations, infrastructure development and governance.
JGU Founding Chancellor Naveen Jindal said: "I am immensely pleased with the recognition of JGU as an Institution of Eminence. I would like to thank the Ministry of Human Resource Development, Government of India for recognizing our efforts to provide world class education in India."
