Hi, I’m Srishti Magdum, and am currently pursuing my law degree at  the Jindal Global Law School at O.P. Jindal Global University in India. The university much like other Indian universities has around 4000 students on campus pursuing various degrees ranging from liberal arts to business. Out of all the courses, Jindal is most reputed for it’s law school. The law school has also been ranked India’s best law school, securing the 1st position over schools such as NLS Bangalore, etc. If you’re looking at pursuing law, Jindal is a school you should definitely look into. The reasons I chose Jindal are:

The faculty: The professors at the Law school are all top notch, many of which are practising lawyers whose experience and knowledge can prove highly beneficial for us as students. Majority of the professors have degrees from Ivy League or Russel Group universities which ensures the quality of education. They make sure to use interactive methods to make class more fun as it can sometimes get quite dense in terms of reading. The faculty is the major factor that sets Jindal apart from most of the other institutions in the country. 

Resources: The library is enormous and has books on any subject or topic available. As law students, the course has a large amount of reading and hence, we have access to a large number of websites and platforms to make learning easier. 

Campus: The university is situated in Sonipat, 30 kms from Delhi. It is a small town and hence there is not much to do around the university unless you wish to travel to Delhi which is about a 2 hour journey. Very honestly, it can get quite monotonous at times. But the facilities available to students on campus are incredible with a foodcourt with multiple chains of restaurants, all sports facilities ranging from football till volleyball, a student recreation lounge and a gymnasium as well.

Internships: There are a large number of internship opportunities available from time to time, a student is encouraged to do at least one internship over the course of one academic session. The placements at the end of 5 years are remarkable and almost every student graduating ends up with a job. 

Social life: If you’re an IB student, you can find it to be a little challenging to fit in in the beginning but there are a large number of clubs, events and activities going on on campus which will enable you to meet like minded people eventually. 

Another major plus point about the university is the ties with universities abroad. They have multiple exchange programmes with universities such as UPenn, Harvard, etc. and also has opportunities to study a semester abroad in your time at the school which can be an amazing opportunity given that you will be doing your degree in India. This was one of the deciding factor in why I chose Jindal. 

Good luck and please feel free to contact me incase you want more details regarding the same.
