Jindal is a large multidisciplinary University with 12 schools/departments with 10,000 students resident on campus being taught by 1100 faculty members.
Ashoka is not even one-fifth the size of Jindal either in terms of students or faculty size or even campus. It's like a small liberal arts college with a private University status.
Jindal is an Institution of Eminence or IOE notified by Ministry of Education, Govt of India. Ashoka is just a state private University and we don't see it becoming an IOE in near future.
Jindal in its present status can be compared or treated as a private counterpart of a JNU or TISS. Ashoka is like an NLU.
In Law, Jindal is ranked among top 100 law schools of the world for 3 years in a row. No department of Ashoka has ever been internationally ranked.
Let's not get into unfair comparisons.
Jindal takes random people with foreign LL.M.s and no teaching experience as faculty, lol. Spoiler alert: it is 50x difficult to get a foreign PhD than a foreign LL.M.
(Mod, please mark this as trollish)
Yet, the respect that Jindal gets doesn't match up to the respect Ashoka gets. Why is it so? Is it because the chancellor of Jindal is Naveen Jindal and not an academic? Is it because Jindal is not as left-wing as Ashoka is? Or is it just that NLU students and alumni like to troll Jindal?
