According to the Press Release:
Quote:
I have immense pleasure to announce the launch of three new undergraduate degree programmes at Jindal Global Law School (JGLS). The launch of these new programmes will once again demonstrate the unique and interdisciplinary character of our university and all the schools of JGU.

These programmes:
· B.A. (Hons.) in Gender Studies
· B.A. (Hons.) in Human Rights
· B.A. (Hons.) in Criminology & Criminal Justice

These new interdisciplinary programmes are in line with the vision and imagination of O.P. Jindal Global University and towards fulfilling its commitment to the institutional mission, “A Private University Promoting Public Service”.

Why can't NLUs follow suit and launch similar undergraduate programmes related to the wider ambit of the law. This is much better than shitty management departments being run by NALSAR and NLUJ etc. Plus it will increase the student diversity on the campus along with an option to go for 3 year LLB in the future.
The worst course. India is not USA; woke degrees won't fill your stomach here.
Gender Studies grads in the US are also unemployed. Some things never change. Go woke and go broke
You can work on Wall Street if your gender studies major is from Harvard or Yale .
Why is it that every JGLS post surreptitiously tries to bring the NLUs into the equation? I mean, is it not enough to simply to highlight and advertise their affairs, as these posts very transparently try to do anyway? Let's face it, JGLS operates on a model and can and never should be compared with NLUs. They charge 4 times the fees, takes in 7-8 times as many students, focuses on hacking the ranking system to get a better name instead of on graduate outcome, do not really adhere to UGC requirements when it comes to offering courses or recruiting faculty, and offers a campus experience that is deliberately focused on luxury to attract students from a certain financial background. All of which are fine for a private institution to do, but should not be emulated by public institutions running on taxpayer money. Before starting a new course, JGLS does not really need to consider the exact value addition that it will do to a student or how it would help them get jobs or build a successful legal career. It is because they do not really promise any of that to their students. Instead they focus on rankings like QS employability. Which is perfectly acceptable for private operators. NLUs cannot afford to do that really. The only thing that JGLS does and NLUs can probably try to adopt is to get good people to join by leveraging their institutional repute and better quality of students in general, even if they can't pay them a lot more, and ensure that these people are allowed academic freedom to teach and research and the necessary support, without getting tied down by bureaucratic red tape. That's all.
Here before some naive Jindal student calls you jealous for where JGLS is and NLUs are doing nothing, going nowhere.
Why is every 2nd post about Jindal? (Before someone starts a new thread on this)
Don't waste money on woke courses. It's better to invest that money in a mutual fund.
Please do not do a BA in general studies for the sake of humanity. Gender studies is a discipline that has been taken over the left to push unscientific woke nonsense and zero socially useful skills. Just read this:
