Message from the
VICE CHANCELLOR
Dear Students,
I have great pleasure in welcoming you to the O.P. Jindal Global
[Institution of Eminence Deemed To Be University] (JGU). Over
the last few years, our university has taken remarkable strides in
teaching, research and institution building. JGU's persistent
focus on developing world-class education in India has resulted
in the university's recognition as an institution of global repute.
JGU has been ranked as India's Number 1 Private University for three years in a row by the
prestigious QS World University Rankings 2023. JGU was ranked amongst the QS top 150
young universities across the globe that are under 50 years of age as per the QS Young
University Rankings. JGU is also among the only 20 universities in India recognised as an
Institution of Eminence (IoE) by the Ministry of Education, Government of India. Therefore, we
acknowledge our responsibility to ensure that you have a truly global and well-rounded
experience, and provide world-class multidisciplinary education unparalleled in the
contemporary history of higher education in India and beyond.
JGU has also achieved the following milestones in recent times:
• The Jindal Global Law School is ranked Number 1 in India for four years in a row and is the
only Law School in India among the Global Top 100 Law Schools by the QS World University
Rankings by Subject 2023.
• JGU retained the top spot in the Education World India Private University Rankings 2023-24
for the category of Liberal Arts and Humanities.
• JGU has retained its rank as the First & Best State-Private University in India in the
prestigious OUTLOOK-ICARE India University Rankings 2023 for the second year in a row.
The same rankings have recognised the Jindal Global Law School as the First ranked and the
Best Private Law Institute in India. The BBA Programme of Jindal Global Business School is
ranked the First and the Best BBA Programme in India.
• JGU was ranked among the world's top 500 Universities in the QS Graduate Employability
Rankings 2022 (GER), which make a global comparison of the employability outcomes of
higher education institutions.
Since its inception, JGU has continuously taken steps to ensure a quality teaching, learning and
research environment for its community. Some steps taken broadly in this direction are
recounted below.
02
First, JGU's faculty members are drawn from some of the leading universities of the world.
Around 58% of our faculty members have international academic qualications from the leading
universities of the world. This means that they bring with them deep knowledge of their elds,
diverse educational and professional experiences, and a passion to create innovative and
rigorous learning experiences for their students.
Second, our faculty members are encouraged to pursue research, contributing not only to their
respective academic disciplines, but also to the quality of courses that they deliver to you. JGU's
research infrastructure provides substantial opportunities for students to explore and pursue
their research interests across a wide range of disciplines. JGU's three research and capacity-
building institutes, more than 60 interdisciplinary research centres, and ongoing research
projects play an active role in helping the undergraduate, postgraduate and doctoral students
across all the schools to pursue research initiatives.
Third, JGU has established 400+ international collaborations across 70+ countries. These tie-
ups have created multiple opportunities for you to explore programmes such as study-abroad
and student exchange initiatives, global internships and also international research
opportunities. Our collaborations also enable a global impact across the programmes and
courses that you will be enrolled in. Additionally, we have faculty members from 50 countries
and regions of the world, thereby ensuring diversity in the student experiences.
Fourth, we have always been conscious that you, our students, are the raison d'être for the
University. Hence, all our academic and administrative capacities are oriented towards providing
the best environment for you to have a holistic educational experience at JGU. To help us
accomplish this, we have developed a number of policies that are relevant for promoting good
governance and student participation within the university. These policies have been drawn
upon the best practices from leading universities and institutions in India and across the world.
Fifth, in line with our dedication to providing a top-notch learning environment and improving
our overall functionality and learning ecosystem, we have made signicant enhancements to
our infrastructure. We have ensured a strong technology governance framework, invested in
upgrading our digital infrastructure, implemented innovative solutions for online classrooms,
and digitalised support mechanisms for our students. To enhance our campus ecosystem, we
are constantly modifying and improving the gymnasium and sports facilities, the health centre
and access to food services and outlets in the campus. We recently completed the Faculty
Ofce Block, the physical forging of our institutional vision of interdisciplinarity, which can
accommodate 1,200+ faculty with a built-up area of 3,22,730.770 sq. ft.
This Student Handbook is a comprehensive guide to the university policies, in addition to other
essential information that will be useful during your time at JGU. I would like to request you to
read the Student Handbook carefully and to take note of all aspects of your academic and social
life at the university campus. I would like to draw your attention particularly to two important
aspects of this Handbook.
First, as a university, we consistently emphasise the importance of ensuring honesty and
integrity among our students. It is important that all students of JGU adhere to the principles of
academic honesty, imbibe these values and uphold professional and personal integrity.
03
Second, I would like to underscore JGU's zero-tolerance policy towards any form of violence.
This includes ragging and sexual harassment, regardless of the school, the programme or the
year the students belong to. Please acquaint yourself with the JGU Anti-Ragging Regulations
and JGU Rules against Sexual Harassment. I strongly recommend that you adhere to these and
all other rules and regulations of the University.
Over the past year, JGU has streamlined several institutional processes related to academic
administration, student welfare, and other administrative departments and undergone the
desired digital and physical transformation to ensure that the university systems are aligned to
your academic and non-academic engagements at the university in all formats. I request you to
acquaint yourself with the relevant departments and ofcers of the university and contact them
for any support.
I sincerely hope that your time at JGU would be productive and positive and that your experience
here will enable you to pursue careers and life paths that you value and continue to build on.
I am condent that the University – faculty, staff, peers and all other members of the JGU
community – will inspire and motivate you to work hard and engage with important issues that
will help you make a difference in the world.
I once again take this opportunity to welcome you to JGU.

JINDAL SCHOOL OF INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS
India's rising economic and military might must be complemented with a world class international affairs
and social science base that will generate and test theories and advance a special Indian variant or brand of
political and global studies. Jindal School of International Affairs (JSIA) aims to become the locus of such an
ambitious vision by situating India as a vibrant ground for social science ideas and debates and giving India
a leadership role on the world stage. JSIA aims to place India on the global map as a provider of knowledge
that is internationally relevant, and of the highest standards. As India's 'First Global Policy School', JSIA has
been enhancing Indian and international capacities to analyze and solve world problems. It intends to
strengthen India's intellectual base in political science, international relations and afliated social science
disciplines and practices with an interdisciplinary approach, which has hitherto been largely neglected by
Indian academic institutions.
JSIA commenced its academic session in August 2011 with a Master of Arts in Diplomacy, Law and
Business [M.A. (DLB)] programme. The programme is the rst-of-its-kind in Asia, drawing upon
knowledge and resources from across intellectual elds of law, business, public policy and international
affairs, to create a unique interdisciplinary pedagogy. In 2015, JSIA started India's rst undergraduate
degree on international issues, the Bachelor of Arts in Global Affairs [B.A. Hons. (GA)]. This was followed
by the launch of a Ph.D. degree in 2016, and a unique Bachelor of Arts in Political Science [B.A. Hons.
(PSc)] in 2020. In 2021, JSIA has commenced another unprecedented degree programme. In Fall 2022,
JSIA launched a new undergraduate degree programme, B.A. (Hons.) Diplomacy and Foreign Policy
programme [B.A. Hons. (DFP)].
JSIA has established international collaborations with the United Nations University in Tokyo, the School of
Public and Environmental Affairs (SPEA) of Indiana University, Queen Mary University of London, Carleton
University in Canada, and the Geneva School of Diplomacy, to name a selected few. JSIA also hosts the rst
Taiwan Education Centre in India which has been established by National Tsing Hua University of Taiwan,
with the backing of the Ministry of Education, Government of Taiwan. The school publishes the Jindal
Journal of International Affairs (JJIA), a critically acclaimed bi-annual academic journal, featuring writings
of Indian and international scholars, and practitioners of contemporary world affairs.

grounding in the fundamental areas of banking & nance, and other management-related courses. All
courses are worth 6 credits or 4 credits or 2 credits with 48 credits per year being the minimum full-time
load adopted by the University. In order to be awarded a degree, students must be awarded credits which are
not less than the required minimum credits for the programme they are enrolled in (details given below):
*The rst two years (96 credits approx.) will be completed at JSBF-JGU and the remaining credits
will be completed in the nal year at Deakin University, Australia.
Attendance
Students are expected to attend all classes. A student who fails to attend a class or feels that s/he may miss
a class due to prior commitments is expected to inform the course Instructor orally or in writing, the reason
for his or her absence. In order to be eligible to appear for end-semester exams in any course (compulsory
or elective), every student is expected to attend a minimum of 75% of the classes held during the semester
in the course. In the event that the student is short of 75% attendance in a particular course but has greater
than 70% attendance, the student may be allowed to take the examination if the average attendance of the
student in the semester in question is greater than 75%. Therefore, in order to appear for end semester
examinations, students must have:
(a) More than 70% attendance in each of their courses taken individually; and
(b) More than 75% average attendance in all of their courses in a semester
There may be instances where a student encounters extraordinary circumstances that do not allow the
student to attend classes. Extraordinary circumstances are such situations where the student misses a
38
signicant number of classes, which may make meeting the 75% attendance requirement impossible, or
very nearly impossible due to a pressing medical reason (supported by full documentation that can be
veried by the school authorities) or other extenuating circumstances. Students must note that in order to
make a prima facie case that the attendance requirement is nearly impossible to meet, the students must
show that they missed at least three weeks' worth of classes due to the extraordinary circumstances.

JINDAL SCHOOL OF LANGUAGES AND LITERATURE
The Jindal School of Languages and Literature (JSLL) was established in 2021 to encourage innovative
research and effectively teach languages, linguistics and literature studies for our present hyper-globalised
world, where language learning and intercultural communication are more important to human ourishing
and mutual understanding than ever before. Several languages have expanded in use to include many
hundreds of millions of speakers across the globe. Many people today in India and elsewhere are multi-
lingual and use a 'global' language as well as regional or local ones. Being adept in several languages is
increasingly part of our everyday cultural experience and helps us literally become known to ourselves and
to others.
Language and literature studies matter in today's world because they inculcate essential skills of
communication and provide tools for analysis of the human condition. JSLL promotes learning and
research in areas of language, linguistics, literature and cultural studies not in order to separate them from
other elds and activities of a university but to foster an environment in which cultural legacies and the
products of human inventiveness receive due attention. JSLL has been established in the spirit described by
John Henry Newman in The Idea of a University (1852). Newman insisted that a true university “aims at
raising the ntellectual tone of society, at cultivating the public mind, at purifying the national taste, at
supplying pure principles to popular enthusiasm and xed aims to popular aspirations, at giving
enlargement and sobriety to the ideas of the age, at facilitating the exercise of political power, and rening
the intercourse of private life.” This is fundamental to preparing for an occupation and living as a citizen of
any society.
JSLL currently offers B.A. Honours English (4-year degree programme) in two streams: B.A. Honours
English and B.A. Honours English with Research. Both require the same number of credits to complete, but
the latter programme replaces some elective courses with research and thesis courses (20 credits). These
programmes are part of the rst phase of building a school whose activities will help the university develop
into a premier institution for learning and research in languages and literature. This implies attention to
languages of the Indian subcontinent as well as those beyond it. English studies is one of the most vibrant
elds in the academy today and the undergraduate English studies degree is one of the most versatile and
robust academic degrees available worldwide. English studies in JSLL focuses on the English language as a
medium for experiencing the 'Anglosphere', encompassing several distinctive literatures and cultures, not
only the exciting literary heritage of the British Isles. JSLL also gives special attention to Spanish, which is
one of the ve most globalised languages with more than ve hundred million speakers in several
continents. The 'Hispanosphere' has an inuence far beyond the predominantly Spanish-speaking
countries - not only in the form of language and literature but in lm, football and food. Studying Spanish
language, literature and culture can therefore open a variety of life experiences and vocations to learners at
all levels. Elective courses offered through JSLL cover such areas as cultural studies, translation studies,
linguistics, and literary and cultural history. JSLL courses and extracurricular learning activities help
students become not language chauvinists but language realists.
46
Distinctive Features of JSLL:
• Globally-oriented curriculum and learning activities.
• Highly-qualied faculty educated at the top universities of India and the world.
• JSLL has eight faculty members teaching English and Spanish.
• There are more than 50 other faculty members throughout JGU who specialize in
language/communications, literature studies (English, Spanish and many others), and linguistics.
• Under an agreement with Spain's Agency for International Development Cooperation (AECID), JSLL has
on its faculty a Spanish native. Other faculty members for Spanish have native or near-native
prociency.
• Multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary courses provide students a rich and varied intellectual
experience. High degree of electivity enables students to undertake courses in other JGU schools.
• Programmes incorporate independent or faculty-supervised learning activities to encourage students
to venture beyond the content available in taught courses.
• International institutional partnerships and networks with global research institutions and agencies.
Students may learn in a Spanish-speaking country under more than 20 different Study Abroad
agreements. Students may study in more than 50 fully English-medium higher education institutions in
six countries.
• Links with cultural institutions in India including foreign language training institutes and research
foundations.
• Close student-faculty interaction and mentorship relations; small class sizes with opportunities for
individual attention; regular tutorial sessions.

communication. While other life forms and even inanimate entities communicate, only human beings do so
to alter their conditions of existence by changing the way they and fellow humans understand those
conditions.
JSLL programmes are designed to make effective, self-reective, responsible communicators. Students
will experience and expand knowledge by encountering different learning situations, of which 'classroom
learning' is the most familiar mode.
They will benet from close interactions with the JSLL core programme faculty. JSLL programmes are
reading and writing-intensive, while encouraging students to learn through individual and collective
performances. JSLL students will be able to choose from a wide range of elective courses and skill-
enhancement courses taught through several schools/divisions of the university. Through a planned
system of (compulsory) internships, JSLL students gain organizational exposure and learn about
vocational opportunities. Internships could also involve enrolling in a short-term prociency course or
skills- enhancement course conducted by an organization outside the university, and students may fulll an
internship requirement through independent work under supervision by a JGU faculty member. There are
plentiful, affordable Study Abroad opportunities through which students gain deep exposure not only to a
language but to different ways of life.

based multi-disciplinary platform with participation of multi-stakeholders including academia,
business practitioners, policymaker, NGO leaders and etc. from both countries.
The CICS is unique in its approach to studying India-China relations. Rather than focusing solely on
political and economic issues, the centre also examines the cultural and social dimensions of the
relationship between the two countries. The CICS is a well-respected think-tank that focuses on
connecting India and China with culture sensitiveness, in understanding differences through
appreciative inquiry, and in providing solutions with constructive mindset and contextualized
understanding.

in China expanding and strengthening its partnership, and paving a way for two-way academic
exchanges between faculty and students in both countries. It has also helped build multi-disciplinary
academic platforms to promote India-China intellectual engagement. CICS has closely worked with
business sector, policymakers and NGOs of both the countries to ensure dynamic across sector
engagement. The Centre has contributed immensely to the comparative research of law and
governance in India and China.

CENTRE FOR FOREIGN LANGUAGES
In the present globalized world, learning of foreign languages is becoming more and more relevant. The
burgeoning businesses transcend borders and there is incessant arrival and departure of businessmen,
academics, tourists across countries. All this means greater importance of learning foreign languages.
Experts in foreign languages are not only sought after by corporates, travel agencies and teaching
institutions, but also by government organs like tourism department, foreign ofce, defence and
intelligence wings.
The Centre for Foreign Languages at O.P. Jindal Global University is an excellence-based centre with the
purpose of teaching foreign languages like French, Spanish, German, etc. Using modern pedagogical tools
to facilitate the students' experience with the world's major languages, we also conduct a number of
language-related events, and a rich variety of cultural material to both acquaint themselves with the
traditions and cultures represented by each language. Besides, it imparts them the skills and knowledge
necessary for their own career and academic goals including participation in study abroad programs, etc.,
all of this with the expert guidance of our experienced teachers.
The CFL endorses and uses pedagogical approaches geared towards the acquisition of language prociency
skills which include listening, speaking, reading, writing and understanding, in line with international standards
as stipulated by the European Framework of Reference (CEFR). Students' specic goals related to business,
academics and research are also taken into account in the material of the courses that they undertake. The
CFL faculty goes all out to support their endeavours towards the achievement of their goalposts.
Centre Coordinator: Prof. Dr. Sergio Meira de Santa Cruz Oliveira, c.oe@jgu.edu.in
Writing pedagogy or the teaching of writing has in its purview the teaching of critical reading, critical writing
and critical thinking that forms the foundation of academic writing produced in a university. We are evolving
forms of teaching that bring imaginative play, intellectual rigour and social engagement to the process of
reading and writing. The courses and workshops are designed and taught by faculty who are researchers in
75
different disciplines of the social sciences and humanities and teach writing as a motivation to participate in
the production of knowledge. In that, this is different from the approach of teaching academic writing as
prociency in language and grammar. Skill in sentence construction, nuance in word choice, elegance in
form, conventions of genre are learned in the process of careful reading and repeated feedback on revisions
in the crafting of the written work.
Our writing courses equip students to critically engage with a wide spectrum of writing genres and teach
them to mine vocabulary from the text to form and articulate complex arguments. Our pedagogy nurtures a
culture of peer review and encourages a creative, collaborative, and supportive work environment in the
classrooms and workshops. Constructive feedback and peer assessment is an important part of this
pedagogy. Beyond the techniques of teaching critical reading and writing, we also pay close attention to the
'how' of the process of teaching. In this respect, CWS imagines writing pedagogy in a much broader sense,
one which is based on ethics of care. This approach considers the classroom as a social space, where
instructors are sensitive to power dynamics of a classroom and strive to make learning an afrmative
experience for learners who come with diverse social trajectories.
The current CWS faculty specialises in disciplines ranging from Comparative Literature, Sensory Studies,
Anthropology, Political Science, Creative Writing, International Relations and Education. Faculty members'
pedagogic practice is informed by their respective disciplinary training, while simultaneously making the
writing courses relevant to specic orientations of the various schools that they teach in. The CWS also
hopes to introduce standardised foundational undergraduate critical reading and writing courses from Fall
2022, aiming to introduce consistency in writing instruction across the university.
Our work:
• Teaching core academic writing courses to JGU students, with mentoring support.
• Training faculty in writing pedagogy.
• Research and development of writing pedagogy to establish it as a eld of study in higher education in
India.
• Outreach for JGU through academic writing workshops in colleges and universities across India.
• Organise talks, conferences, and workshops to create and document the texture of conversations in
this eld of pedagogy in India.
• Form collaborations and consortiums with universities in India and abroad to further the research and
development of writing pedagogy.
TEC provides an atmosphere which will increase students' participation and condence in a non-
threatening Mandarin learning environment. Our courses focus on enhancing listening and speaking ability
in class and emphasising reading and writing for homework. Students are encouraged to participate in
interactions with dialogues, role play, discussions, written quizzes, and many other engagement activities
to learn the application of the language.
The Ofce seeks to play a leading role in connecting the campus to art practices, practitioners, and lineages
of contemporary artistic expressions. In the last two years, the Ofce has been able to play a leading role in
connecting the campus to wide variety of cultural expressions including music, dance, theatre, and
photography. While the Ofce aims to make these spaces accessible and fun to experience, the focus is
equally on developing new ways of seeing and experiencing as well as developing a critical perspective
towards our contemporary realities.
The Ofce is also committed to facilitating productive engagements on campus on critical issues such as
mental health and was able to spark off such an engagement with the marking of World Mental Health Day on
campus through workshops and a free-owing evening of drawing, painting and conversing. We are also
aware that Sonipat, a city that has a signicant historical and cultural heritage, is increasingly becoming a
higher education hub with various educational institutions being set up. Students and academics from all over
the country and outside now live in the city lending it a unique and dynamic character. It is crucial that in this
moment of change, questions of community cultural practices and the role of existing people led initiatives are
integrated into the larger fabric of our academic life at JGU. The Ofce is, therefore, working towards enriching
the social and communitarian life on campus by reaching out to the larger community around us - surrounding
educational institutions, cultural organisations, and people-led initiatives in the region.

OFFICE OF ALUMNI RELATIONS
The establishment of the Ofce of Alumni Relations (OAR) at O.P. Jindal Global University on 25 July 2018
aimed to facilitate interaction among the alumni community and manage their connections with the university.
The alumni community of JGU has been rapidly growing and has already surpassed eight thousand
graduates. The achievements of the alumni community contribute signicantly to the overall impact of JGU as
an educational institution. Alumni, who have spent a signicant period of their lives at JGU, develop a sense of
attachment to the institution. The relationship between past, present, and future students is a valuable
resource in today's increasingly interconnected world.
The OAR adopts a three-pronged approach to effectively engage with JGU's alumni base, which includes
Networking, Mentoring, and Learning.
Networking involves the creation of a comprehensive alumni directory that provides updates on recent alumni
activities. The OAR provides a platform, alumni.jgu.edu.in / jgu.almaconnect.com, known as the
AlmaConnect Portal, where alumni can interact with the university. This portal provides information about our
graduates, important events and developments at the university, and various opportunities. Currently, over
4000 alumni are connected with each other through the portal. The OAR actively shares the success stories
and achievements of JGU's alumni on a regular basis on this portal. Moreover, the OAR has established JGU
Alumni City Chapters in different cities such as London, Bengaluru, Delhi, Hyderabad, Mumbai, Chandigarh,
Kolkata, Bhubaneswar, Kochi, and Trivandrum to promote alumni interaction both within and outside the
university. These city chapters organize reunion events that foster a strong connection between the university
and its alumni. Additionally, the OAR arranges reside chats for alumni, providing networking opportunities
with industry experts to facilitate their professional growth.
Mentoring focuses on helping current students at JGU gain valuable insights from alumni in various areas,
including career counseling, internships, job opportunities, higher education, and recruitment processes.
The learning sphere enables alumni to deliver specialized seminars and webinars in their specic areas of
expertise, addressing questions related to their success and the topic they are presenting. Over 20 webinars
led by alumni have been organized for JGU's current students. Alumni contribute to the university by offering
counseling and mentoring to current students, participating in outreach events, conducting workshops and
seminars based on their professional experience, and providing internship opportunities.
As JGU is a young university, a majority of its alumni are in the early stages of their careers. Therefore, the
primary mission of the OAR is to create value for alumni through initiatives that leverage the resources
available within JGU and its extensive networks. In line with this, the alumni mentoring program has been
introduced as part of the Bengaluru alumni working committee. In this committee, alumni based in Bengaluru
contribute by offering mentoring and job opportunities to current students.
The Ofce of Alumni Relations also organizes alumni engagement activities. In the Academic Year 2022-23,
the OAR successfully conducted alumni engagement activities on campus, including the 10-Year Reunion for
the Class of 2012 on 30th September 2022, and the Alumni Sports Meet on the 21st and 22nd of January
2023. Both events received an overwhelming response from alumni in terms of participation.

THE OFFICE OF RANKINGS, BENCHMARKING &
INSTITUTIONAL TRANSFORMATION (ORBIT)
The Ofce of Rankings, Benchmarking & Institutional Transformation (ORBIT) works towards institutional
excellence at JGU and its constituent Schools in order to be ranked amongst the best universities in the
world. ORBIT predominantly focuses on the two ranking agencies that carry the highest reputation globally:
(a) THE (Times Higher Education) Rankings, (b) QS (Quacquarelli Symonds) Rankings. ORBIT also
engages with Indian rankings organisations including NIRF, Business Today, and Career360. ORBIT strives
to improve JGU's position in the global higher education landscape by benchmarking against universities
that are not only top performers but also global thought leaders in teaching, research, scholarship and
social impact. We carefully pursue each parameter of rankings and understand global best practices in
higher education for a sustained institutional transformation of JGU. Our objective is to identify institutional
pathways to propel academic innovation in our internal processes, bolster output and impact of scholarly
research, and maintain high standards of teaching and learning. In this sense, ORBIT plays an advisory role
and works closely with the Deans of all Schools of JGU and other stakeholders for the rankings of schools
and disciplinary areas. ORBIT also works towards building the overall reputation of O.P. Jindal Global
[Institution of Eminence Deemed To Be University], all constituent Schools, faculty & staff members and
students amongst employers and academic peers around the world.
As a result of the efforts made by ORBIT, JGU has retained its No. 1 position among the Indian private
universities ranked in the QS World University Rankings 2023. JGU is placed in the 651-700 rank band in the
world in the QS World University Rankings 2023 Edition. JGU is ranked amongst the top 250 universities in
the world in faculty-student ratio, which presently stands at 1:9. It is ranked amongst the top universities in
the world in academic reputation and employer reputation. We are also amongst the top universities in the
world in international faculty, which makes up 11% of JGU's total faculty. JGU is also ranked 70th in the QS
World University Rankings by Subject 2022: Law. This translated into the Jindal Global Law School
becoming the highest ranked Law School of India in 2022, apart from being ranked amongst the top 100
Law Schools in the world. In the QS World University Rankings by Subject 2023, JGU has been ranked No. 1
th
in India in Law and 19 in India in Business & Management Studies, making Jindal Global Law School India's
No. 1 Law School for the fourth year in a row and Jindal Global Business School one of Top-20 business
schools in the country.
JGU has been one of the highest performing Institutions of Eminence (IOEs) in India in the World University
Rankings. JGU has won the 'Digital Innovation of the Year Award' in the prestigious Times Higher Education
Asia Awards 2021, dubbed “Oscars of higher education”, for creating a free, cloud-based application to
help schools and universities manage data. For the rst time, JGU has been featured in the THE Impact
Rankings 2022 for Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 4,5,6,8,10,16 and 17. In particular, the
university has been featured in Top 300 globally for SDG 16, which aims to promote peaceful and inclusive
societies for sustainable development, provide access to justice for all and build effective, accountable and
inclusive institutions at all levels. Rankings are useful for institutional development – rather than dictating
strategies, they can be drawn upon and utilised as a supplementary tool to drive desired institutional
change. ORBIT's concerted efforts on understanding various ranking methodologies and how these
frameworks effectively capture university performance will, in turn, provide JGU with a benchmark both
nationally and internationally – highlighting what is possible and what JGU can aspire to achieve. Rankings
will also help in identifying the best practice globally, in areas JGU wants to develop.

ASSESSMENT AND EVALUATION
The evaluation processes of the University are designed within the framework of the guidelines stipulated by
the Academic Council after discussion in several boards of studies and with faculty members. The
evaluation processes so designed are then approved by the Academic Council of the University. The
University guidelines and the information on evaluation is disseminated as noted below:
• The students, in particular, are fully informed of the evaluation criteria, the grading system and the
processes via the regulations in the Student Handbook.
• The regulations, curricula and syllabi of all the programmes offered by JGU are available on the relevant
School websites. The regulations contain the details of the respective evaluation processes.
• The students and parents are informed about the evaluation and post- evaluation process during the
orientation/ induction programmes, which are conducted for each postgraduate & undergraduate
programme.
• The University has introduced an electronic attendance system through the ERP to generate student
attendance which carries a designated weightage of the total marks for evaluation. The Random Code
Generating (RCG) system has been introduced for coding the answer books used for end term
examination. The answer books do not carry the student's name; they are randomly coded to assign the
student a numerical identity. This prevents the scope of prejudice or unfair advantage. The internal
assessment answer scripts are shown to the students to allow them to assess their performance and to
discuss their queries with the course instructors.
• In the case of end-semester examinations, students are allowed to see the answer script after marking
and grading is complete.
• JGU Examiners are appointed from the approved panel after having duly considered their eligibility.
• Students are permitted to apply for re-evaluation of the answer scripts to ensure a fair re-assessment
process.

O.P. Jindal Global (Institution of Eminence Deemed to be) University established Psychological Counselling
services in May 2012 to cater to the needs of its Students, Faculty, and Staff members. In September 2018,

CWCS offers Individual and Group Counselling services to the members of JGU, including Crisis
Intervention, Psychometric Assessments, Short-term Psychotherapy, Group Therapy, Mindfulness &
Relaxation, Time management, Stress management, Anger management, and External Referral services.
The department also provides consultation to concerned Students, Faculty, and Staff members regarding
the well-being of others within the University. Additionally, CWCS engages with the JGU community through
awareness and outreach activities. CWCS works with different departments like DSC, COGSASH, Chief
Proctor Ofce, Health Centre etc for any matters pertaining to Mental Health.
Counselling is a collaborative process between the client and therapist, involving sharing, listening, talking,
and guidance within an environment of trust and respect. CWCS provides a strictly condential space
where individuals can express their thoughts, emotions, and concerns, with the aim of addressing the
challenges they face. The department ensures a non-judgmental and non-labelling atmosphere.
JGU members can request an appointment with a Counsellor through the UMS portal. During the initial
consultation, a designated CWCS representative explains the counselling process, condentiality, and
exceptions to condentiality. A personalized care plan is then developed based on the client's needs.
Individual counselling sessions typically last 45-60 minutes, with the length and frequency determined
collaboratively by the Counsellor and client, considering the client's functioning, progress, available
support, and overall demand for services.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, CWCS swiftly transitioned from in-person to online and tele-
counselling services, ensuring uninterrupted Counselling and Well-being support for all university
members. The department utilizes secure online video platforms like MS Teams and Zoom to conduct
video sessions for clients who prefer virtual interactions. CWCS currently offers both online and in-
person counselling support.

Students are expected to attend all classes. A student who fails to attend a class is expected to inform
the Course Instructor, orally or in writing, the reason for his or her absence.
The BCI Rules on Legal Education (Para-4, Chapter-2, Rule-12) provide that “12. End Semester Test
No student of any of the degree programs shall be allowed to take the end semester test in a subject
if the student concerned has not attended minimum of 70% of the classes held in the subject
concerned as also the moot court room exercises, tutorials and practical training conducted in the
subject taken together: Provided that if a student for any exceptional reasons fails to attend 70% of
the classes held in any subject, the Dean of the University or the Principal of the Centre of Legal
Education, as the case may be, may allow the student to take the test if the student concerned has
attended at least 65% of the classes held in the subject concerned and attended 70% of classes in all
the subjects taken together. The similar power shall rest with the Vice Chancellor or Director of a
National Law University, or his authorized representative in the absence of the Dean of Law: Provided
further that a list of such students allowed to take the test with reasons recorded be forwarded to the
Bar Council of India.”
In order to be eligible to appear for end-semester exams in any course (compulsory or elective), every
student is expected to full a minimum of 70% of the classes held during the semester in the course.
In the event that the student is short of 70% attendance but has greater than 65% attendance, the
student may be allowed to take the examination if the average attendance of the student in all courses
that semester is greater than 70% Therefore, in order to appear for end semester examinations
students must have: (a) More than 65% attendance in each of their courses taken individually, AND
(b) More than 70% average attendance in all of their courses in a semester. While the BCI rules do not
122
provide for medical leave, there may be instances where a student encounters extraordinary
circumstances that do not allow the student to attend classes.
Extraordinary circumstances are such situations where the student is going to miss a signicant
number of classes, which will make meeting the 70% attendance requirement impossible, or very
nearly impossible, AND where the student is missing the classes due to a pressing medical reason

Controller of Examinations. For JSLH and JSJC Programmes, internal assessment
weightage can go up to 70% maximum out of 100.
The minimum passing marks in the nal/ written exam will be 30%. Overall, passing marks
(Internal + External) shall be 40 marks out of 100 marks. In JSES, for courses under the

9.4.1. JSAA student evaluation system comprises jury-based, seminar-based, and written
examination-based assessment.
(a) The Jury System: The jury method of evaluation is the hallmark of architectural
education all over, nationally and internationally. According to this system
students undergo evaluations in which they present their work to their peers and
to a group of experts (internal and external). The student is then required to
defend her/his design proposal in front of this collective.
(b) The seminar system: This method of evaluation is adopted for the seminar classes in
which students are evaluated through a series of in-class presentations, as well as, a
mid-semester presentation and an end of term research(ed) paper and presentation.
(c) The written examination system: This method is reserved for only a handful of
classes within the architectural curricula. In addition to in-class presentation, desk
crits, researched term papers, this mode of evaluation will also involve a mid-
semester and an end of term question paper-based examination.

examination after depositing the fee and submitting the application form. If opted for, the student must
appear for the Improvement Examination. The score secured by the student in the improvement
examination shall be considered in determining the nal grade of the student, irrespective of whether it is
more or less than the previous grade received. The nal grade secured shall appear with an ('Im') notation
in the grade sheet of the student to indicate that the grade was secured by the student after having

ANNEXURE I
PENALTY MATRIX
PART A
For other violations of the Code of Conduct, including possession, use, or distribution of cigarettes/tobacco
products, possession, or distribution of accessory substances, and possession, use, or distribution of
alcohol, the quantum of penalties to be imposed under the Code of Conduct would be as follows:
1) At the rst instance, a student would receive a warning for up to twelve months. If the student
unconditionally apologises, then the student would receive a reduced penalty.
2) For the second instance, the student would be mandated to attend three sensitisation sessions
conducted by the CWCS.
3) For the third instance, the student would be mandated to attend ve sensitisation sessions conducted
by the CWCS.
4) For the fourth instance, the student would be mandated to attend community service for a period
stipulated by the USDC.
5) From the fth instance onwards, the student would face a suspension of two weeks for each
infraction.
NOTE:
a) The above-stated matrix is only indicative in nature and shall not govern the USDC's discretion to
impose a higher penalty, including expulsion from the University, on a case-by-case basis.
Consequently, the USDC is authorized to disregard the matrix in cases where the quantity of the
recovered substances is relatively higher, or the violation is of a severe nature.
b) Minor infractions of the Code of Conduct, including but not limited to damage to the University
Property, may attract a lower penalty than the one mentioned in the matrix above. Such penalties are
mentioned in Sections 5 & 6 of the Code of Conduct against the respective violation(s).
c) Past disciplinary record of the student may be treated as an aggravating factor for deciding a higher
penalty on a case-by-case basis.
d) If a student has possessed certain kind of accessory substances, whose standalone intended
purpose may be inconclusive (such as a lighter, weighing machine), then the student would receive a
benet of doubt and the matter may be dismissed. However, such recoveries would continue to
reect in the internal records of the CPO, and for any future violation it may be treated as an
aggravating factor for deciding a higher penalty on a case-by-case basis.
e) However, if the student has possessed accessory substances along with the substances as
mentioned under Section 5, Clauses 3, 4 and 5 of the Code of Conduct, respectively, the penalty
would be considered as per the quantum established above.
f) If the student commits any violation of a different nature, then those violations would be adjudged as
per their respective matrix, which would be separate from the matrix provided above.
g) If the student has been penalised in any of the past semesters for violations of a different nature, then
the same would not be considered for deciding the penalty for the rst violation of this nature.
h) The above matrix shall apply if the student commits one violation per semester. In case the student
commits more than one violation in a given semester, then the following matrix may be applicable:

b) If the student has been penalised in any of the past semesters for violations of a different nature, then
the same would not be considered for deciding the penalty for the rst violation of this nature.
The student would be liable to receive an increased penalty regardless of their clean disciplinary
record in the past. It should also be noted that though the matrix to decide the same has been captured
below, the quantum of punishment would largely depend on the quantity of substances recovered
from the student. The matrix to decide the same have been captured below:
NOTE:

b) If the student commits any violation of a different nature, then those violations would be adjudged as
per their respective matrix, which would be separate from the matrix provided above.

STUDENTS ON INFORMATION SECURITY
1. Title and Applicability
This Code of Conduct is called O.P. Jindal Global [Institution of Eminence Deemed to be University]
Code of Conduct for Students on Information Security.
This is applicable to all JGU students while using the JGU Network and Technology Infrastructure.
2. Denitions
In this code the following meanings would be applicable to the terms below:
Term
Information Information is dened as anything having value for JGU. Examples of
information are employee/ staff information (such as name, contact details,
phone numbers etc.), operational or communication information.
Information Assets Information assets may be categorized into two types: information containing
assets, and information supporting assets. An example of information
containing assets can be a JGU server or application which contains the
information. An example of information supporting assets can be personnel,
paper, network infrastructure, external service providers and so on.
161
5. User Identication and Password Protection
User Identication (user ID) and Passwords are the keys to access any information. The following
guidelines are recommended to protect students and JGU against any user ID and password related
security incidents.
a) Selection of Password: Keep passwords secure and do not share them with any one.
Passwords should be minimum 8 characters long and should contain alphanumeric and
special characters to make them strong. Strong passwords cannot be easily deciphered. Avoid
using common information such as spouse's name, date of birth, child's name or pet's name
as password as it is easy to guess them for unauthorized access. However, a combination of
these resulting in complexity is a good practice.
b) Password Responsibility: All users are responsible for the security of their passwords and
accounts. User level passwords should be changed frequently, at least once in a month.
Password should not be written down, except for logging in with departmental security staff or
secure safekeeping, where appropriate. Password should be changed whenever there is any
indication of possible system or password compromise. The password should not be shared
with any of your friends, in any circumstance.
c) Sharing passwords and impersonating others online on JGU provided software products is
against the JGU Code of Conduct.
162
g) Students must not employ scanned versions of hand rendered signatures to give the
impression that the sender has signed an electronic mail message or other electronic
communication.
h) Students must regularly move important information from electronic mail messages to word
processing documents, databases and other les as the case may be. Electronic mailing
systems are not intended to be archival storage for important information.
i) Unless the information owner/originator agrees in advance, or unless the information is clearly
public in nature, students must not forward electronic mail to any address outside JGU
network.
j) Blanket forwarding of electronic mail messages to any outside address is prohibited unless
prior written permission is taken from the Registrar.
163
k) Not to export software, technical information, encryption software or technology, in violation
of international or regional export control laws. An authorized person from higher management
should be consulted prior to export of any material that is in question.
l) Not to introduce any malicious programs into the network or server (e.g., viruses, worms,
Trojans, e-mail bombs, etc.).
m) Not to reveal a student's account password to others or allow the use of her/his account by
others. This includes family and other household members when work is being done from home.
n) Not to use JGU's computing facility to actively engage in procuring or transmitting material that
is in violation of this Code of Conduct or which is distasteful, obscene, profane or intended for
sexual harassment.
o) Not to make fraudulent offers of products, items or services originating from any JGU account.
p) Not to cause security breaches or disruptions of network communication. Security breaches
include, but are not limited to, accessing data to which the student is not an intended recipient
or logging into a server or account that the student is not expressly authorized to access. For
purposes of this section, “disruption” includes, but is not limited to, network snifng, port
scanning, pinged oods, packet spoong, denial of service, and forged routing information for
malicious purposes. Usage or download of any network scanning tool is prohibited.
q) Not to do port scanning or security scanning on the network.
r) Not to execute any form of network monitoring which will intercept any kind of data.

impression or the reality of inappropriate use.
w) Not to use any other network connection on the campus other than the one meant for use by
students.
x) Not to use chat or social networking sites during class timings or at the time of exams.
9. Anti-Virus Protection
All computers used by the students that are connected to the JGU Internet/Intranet whether owned by
the student or JGU, should execute approved virus-scanning software at all times with an updated
virus database, unless overridden by the IT policy.
164
a) Students are advised to run full scan on their laptops/desktops at least once a week.
b) Students should not open any mails that are received form unknown senders. Any such mail

However, sexual harassment may also be perpetrated by women against men or may occur between
persons of the same sex. We recognise that sexual harassment is not only perpetrated by men
against women and encourage anyone being harassed to approach the Committee to seek support.
181
The JGU Policy Against Sexual Harassment protects all employees and students.
5. Filing a complaint
In order to implement the JGU Policy Against Sexual Harassment, JGU has constituted a COGSASH.
One of the Committee’s responsibilities is to receive and hear complaints.
If you want to le a complaint of sexual harassment you must contact a member from the COGSASH.
You may either email the Committee at: cogsash@jgu.edu.in or shc@jgu.edu.in or call them on
1800-120-3845. The Committee aims to respond to all emails within 48 hours. The phone number
is available 24 hours a day.

inquiry is completed. It is not permissible for any person within or outside of the
COGSASH to make the identity, contact details, or address of a complainant known, or to
release details that may result in a complainant’s identity becoming known.

justice by providing reasonable opportunity to the complainant and the defendant for
presenting and defending his/her case.
c) The ICC must complete the inquiry within a reasonable time not exceeding three months from
the date the complaint is referred to it.
d) At any time in the inquiry proceedings, the ICC shall not put the complainant and the defendant
in a situation where they may be face to face.

interest of just decision-making.
f) The ICC shall have the power to ask the relevant authorities for any ofcial papers, documents,
or material such as CCTV footage pertaining to the complainant as well as the defendant.
g) Records of all evidence gathered in the course of the inquiry shall be maintained for a period of
three years. Parties to a case who are still afliated with JGU should be informed before
materials are destroyed. Parties who leave/graduate JGU may ask for copies of the material at
the time of leaving.
h) The ICC may consider as relevant any earlier complaints against the defendant. However, the
past sexual history of the complainant shall be deemed irrelevant to a complaint of sexual
harassment.
i) If the respondent fails, without valid ground, to present himself/herself for three hearings
convened by the Presiding Ofcer the ICC shall have the right to take a decision on the
complaint based upon the available evidence.
j) The identities of all witnesses shall be protected by the ICC. A coding system may be used for
this purpose.
k) All persons participating in an ICC proceeding shall respect the Committee's mandate to

the University's Registrar within three working days. The Registrar has to afrm, vary or
dismiss the recommendations within three working days.
Note: Most cases of sexual harassment occur in private, therefore there may not be an eye-witness. The
Inquiry Committee will decide on the complaint without proof or evidence of this kind. The Committee may
rely on circumstantial evidence and the testimonies of the complainant, the defendant, witnesses, if any, and
any supporting evidence. This inquiry is not a criminal investigation. Strong probability, rather than 'proof
beyond reasonable doubt', is sufcient to decide on the complaint.
188

the respondent(s) to the case. The respondent(s) will have 5 working days to reply to the
complaint and to include any evidence and/or the contact details of any witnesses they would
like to have called.
e) The Committee shall, if deemed necessary, restrain the respondent from communicating the
complainant directly or indirectly.
f) An ICC shall be constituted from the COGSASH members to proceed with the
conciliation/inquiry process.
189
13. Procedure for Inquiry:
a) An inquiry procedure is when a grievance of sexual harassment at JGU may be articulated
between a complainant and a respondent(s) in an inquisitorial forum. The inquisitorial nature of
an inquiry will investigate the credibility of a complaint. If found to be true, the ICC may
recommend a punitive measure be given to the respondent. Measures may range from an
ofcial warning to a suspension, or in certain cases expulsion from the university/termination
of employment.
i. In cases involving students, if a case of a grievous nature is reported to the Committee,
parents of the respondent will be notied either at the time the complaint is received, or
when found to be true, depending on the nature of the complaint.
b) For an inquiry to be initiated a written complaint must be received by the Internal Complaints
Committee. Complaints will only be received after a potential complainant has been informed
of the difference between conciliation and inquiry, their different focus and potential outcomes.
Complaints must be in writing and may be submitted either in writing, by email, or in cases
where a complainant is unable to submit a written complaint a verbal complaint may be
transcribed by a Committee member. The complaint must include available evidence to
support the veracity of the complaint (eg emails, messages), details of any CCTV footage that
may be of use with the locations and dates and approximate times to aid the Committee's ability
to retrieve relevant material, and list of relevant witnesses.
c) One copy of the complaint, with the accompanying documents, must be given to the
respondent (person against whom a complaint has been led) within 3 days from when the
complaint was ofcially submitted.
d) Within 5 days of receiving a copy of the complaint and other accompanying documents, the
respondent has to respond with their version of events and any documents and details of
witnesses to support their argument. The 5-day requirement may be extended by a further 5
days if there is valid reason.
i) Parties to a case may be asked to respond immediately depending upon the nature of the
complaint.
e) Upon receiving the response by the respondent, the ICC shall share the submission of the
respondent with the complainant. And schedule the rst hearing within 5 working days.
f) The Internal Complaints Committee must adhere to principles of natural justice when inquiring
into a complaint.
g) The Internal Complaints Committee may call any number of witnesses form the list provided by
complainant/respondent.
1. The ICC may request witnesses to submit their statement by email within 24-48 hours of
receiving the request. The statement should of not more than 500 words, except in
exceptional circumstances.
2. The ICC may subpoena any witness/witnesses after examining their statement.
3. The ICC may also call witnesses to be questioned by the Committee.
h) The inquiry may proceed ex parte (when the respondent does not cooperate) if either party to
the complaint (either the complainant or respondent) does not present themselves for three
consecutive hearings and no reasonable cause has been offered.

written notice to the parties in question. Such notice must be served at least 5 days

forward it, together with its recommendation and any dissenting opinions to the Chairperson of
the Committee.
191
16. Redressal
(1). Guiding Principles
a) The guiding principle of the redressal mechanism is to ensure the safety and well-being
of JGU community members. There will be provisions for punishment for the respondent
once a violation of the policy has been established. There will be measures during the
conciliation or inquiry procedure to encourage a practise of reection and reform to
achieve lasting gender equality and safety within the workforce and beyond.
b) Redressal shall involve supportive measures for the complainant and protection against
victimization. Filing of a grievance or complaint shall under no circumstances adversely
affect the complainant's status, future evaluation of grades, assignments, employment,
promotion etc.
c) As a general principle, everyone who is associated with redressal of sexual harassment
needs to be sensitive towards both the respondent and the complainant. To this end, it is
advisable that they undergo periodic orientation and training.
(2). Punishments
Any student, service provider, resident, outsider, or a member of the academic or non-teaching
staff or an Ofcer of JGU, or a member of the Authorities or Committee of JGU found guilty of
sexual harassment shall be liable for disciplinary action. The penalties listed below (in
ascending order) are indicative, and shall not constrain the JGU authorities from considering
others, in accordance with the rules governing the conduct of employees and students in
practice at the time.
192
c. Penalties in Case of Outsiders/ Service Providers/ Ofcer of JGU, or a member of the
Authorities or Committee of JGU

iv. Any other action as may be necessary.
193
19. Protection against Victimization
a) In cases where a respondent is found to have violated this policy and they are an employee or in
a position of inuence, the respondent shall not
(i) supervise any academic activity (such as evaluation, examination or supervision of
research) of the complainant/witness and/or
(ii) write a condential report of the complainant's/witness's performance.
b) During an inquiry voluntary interim measures may be put in place to ensure the aggrieved
victim and the respondent do not come in to contact with each other. These may include but are
not limited to: transferring desk/usual working space to another department/academic section
of either party; additional security/vigilance whilst on campus; voluntary leave (up to three
months); relaxation of attendance for students which will not affect their opportunity to sit
exams/assessment.
