Last week, Sonipat-based OP Jindal Global University (JGU) broke into QS Asia University Rankings 2019—the annual publication of university rankings by Quacquarelli Symonds, the British education company. Earlier, JGU found a place in QS BRICS University Rankings 2019, from among 9,000 universities. “Asia rankings—the region has 13,000 universities from over 40 nations—are more competitive than BRICS rankings,” says C Raj Kumar, the vice-chancellor. In an interview with FE’s Vikram Chaudhary, he adds that getting a place among the top 3% in Asia—JGU is ranked in the 400-450 bracket—is an achievement for the nine-year-old university and for India
