JGLS Sonepat has hired 104 faculty members in its law school starting in January 2020 improving its student-faculty ratio from 12:1 to 9:1, hot on the heels of the the grant of Institution of Eminence (IoE) status to it in September.
More than half of the hires - 72 - are made up of the more junior end of the academic ladder with 38 senior research associates and 34 research associates, which would be roughly equivalent to lecturer designations at national law schools .
The next greatest number of hires has come in with 27 joining JGLS at assistant professor rank (more on these designations and remuneration below).
Finally, at the highest levels of seniority are 3 new associate professors and 2 professors (see details of new hires below).
Only five faculty members out of its total of now-328 faculty members at Jindal Global University’s law school had left in the last 12 months, noted Kumar. Law school student numbers would not increase in the next academic year, he said.
Hiring so many faculty members at one law school was “unparalleled in the history of legal education in India”, Kumar added in a press release, which seems a realistic claim, considering NLSIU Bangalore, for instance, recently advertised for only 13 faculty members for the first time 12 years.

Tiers & pay scales: Around double UGC on average
Research associates and senior research associate positions at JGLS are approximately on par with lecturer positions at NLUs, explained Raj Kumar.
“Research associates for teaching law subjects are usually faculty members with LLM degrees,” added JGU director HR and chief operating officer (COO) Jitu Mishra. “Senior research associate and assistant professor positions are offered to faculty members who have some industry or teaching experience apart from the LLM degree.”
Meanwhile, associate professors and professors would be faculty members with “substantial teaching and research experience or who have distinguished professional experience in the field of law”, according to Mishra.

In most NLUs, the admin resists hiring alumni because of jealousy and insecurity. They give excuses like absence of UGC NET, lack of seniority, etc. No attention is paid to quality of publications, industry experience, international exposure etc.
Gudmundur Erikson is teaching International Law.
Plenty of star profs teaching core subjects
BB Pandey only visits the university once a month for 3-4 days ever since he's taken charge. How is he offering a full paper? He's there to oversee research, not to teach. Please stop spreading fake news.
- lt should preferably be multi-disciplinary and have both teaching and research focus of an exceptionally high qualitY.
- lt should have a good proportion of foreign or foreign qualified faculty
- The faculty student ratio should be not be less than 1:20 at the time of notification issued declaring an lnstitution as an lnstitution of Eminence and should increase over time so as not to be less than 1 :10 after five years of this date
- There should be a transparent merit based selection in admissions, so that the focus remains on getting meritorious students.
- The admission process should be need-blind so that once a student gets admission purely on merit, such a meritorious student should not be turned away for lack of financial ability.
- The lnstitution should have reasonably large owned campus with adequate space for expansion.
- The lnstitution should have teaching and research collaborations with a reasonable number of global universities figuring in the most reputed global rankings.
- The lnstitution should be known for promoting a culture where faculty are encouraged to publish regularly in peer-reviewed journals ... Any papers published in international publications which are included in SCOPUS, Web Science or similar international agencies can be counted.

As far as Placements are concerned, Khaitan has hired the most from JGLS in 2020 Graduates as compared to all NLUs. Similarly, overall 60+ students from the 2020 Graduating Batch are all placed at leading Tier-1 and Tier-2 Firms, Judicial Clerkships, Big UK Firms, White & Case etc. Compared to NLSIU which started 23 years before JGLS did, JGLS is doing a better job.
As far as Publications and Undergraduate Research Assistantships are concerned, the sheer number of JGLS students publishing and doing RAships beats all NLUs combined by like four times (should you even consider the top-7 NLUs, i.e. NLS, NALSAR, NLIU, NUJS, NLUJ, NLUD and GNLU, it'd remain the same). One Aditya Vora from the 2019 Graduating Batch and four others in the 2020 Batch having 15+ journal publications can even beat the shit out of Ivy League Faculty in National and International Publications.
Should this post (and this comment) to you (potentially a NLU reader) feel terrifying already, we can go on to cite 100 more examples to tell you how JGLS is superior to all NLUs combined. :)
Moreover, most Law Firm, Litigation or Judicial Interns in Delhi, Bombay and Bangalore are from JGLS. Multiply their batch strength to 15 years. That's a figure crossing 10000 students being Salaried Partners, Settled Advocates/AORs and the like across all fields of law in India. They'll have a presence in aborad as well.
Considering your "reservations" in NLS, NLUD, NUJS etc. etc., we know which institution will be wiped out from all rankings soon enough. :p
While this comment is nothing compared to the efforts of the Editors of this post, I hope that this information I put can give a "reality check" to NLUs and others about the "student quality" at JGLS.
NLU nibba after US LLM: I wanna be a JGLS prof.
NALSAR- 24/120 (20%), NLIU Bhopal- 51/ 122 (41%), NUJS Kolkata- 38/127 (30%), HNLU Raipur- 80/ 160 (50%), GNLU Gujarat- 39/180 (22%), RGNLU Punjab- 18/ 196 (9%), MNLU Mumbai- 69/120 (57.55)
NLSIU Bangalore and NLU Jodhpur do not have any domicile reservations.

1) Two categories of colleges do not care about it:
a) Private (JGLS, Bennett etc)
b) Institutions of National Importance with special autonomy (also JGLS, plus also IIT law school)
2) Elsewhere, you a need a PhD from a top 500 QS university to get an exemption (just an LLM won't do).
3) But this rule is not written in stone: plenty of VCs have waived it for people with just an LLM. A well known case is Shamnad Basheer, who got appointed as a full professor when he only had a master's.
4) Unfortunately, many NLU VCs use UGC NET as an excuse to not hire NLU alumni. The NLU alumni do not want to give NET as it is pointless and meant for those from low-quality law schools. Those alumni coming from practice or from abroad even look down it. If you need to take 6 months to prepare for an exam, any NLU alum would rather appear for UPSC.

Our faculty size is now the largest in India and almost double the size of other leading law schools of Asia like Peking or Tsinghua University in China, National University of Singapore or SMU Law School in Singapore, Hong Kong University Law Faculty, City University of Hong Kong, or NTU or NHTU in Taiwan! I strongly believe now Jindal Global Law School should be compared with law schools internationally!
You have counted NLU graduates in our faculty, but your reporter has missed to see that NINE of JGLS graduates (maximum from any Indian law school) joining as junior faculty members, many of whom I believe, will become committed legal academicians of the future!
Lastly I invite you and your readers to read about the pursuit of scholarship and research by JGLS graduates in my following post, which speaks volumes about our student quality, many of them have actually become Inlaks, British Chevening and Commonwealth scholars in recent past! Cheers.

I also suspect that the anti-JGLS comments are actually not from the top 4 NLU students/grads, but those from lower ranked NLUs + traditional colleges + other private law schools. This category has been the most badly hit by JGLS, as their placements and LLM offers have dried up. The top 4 remain mostly stable. Also, a lot of faculty at JGLS are from NLSIU/NALSAR/NUJS, while NLUD regularly invites JGLS profs for events. Furthermore, Madhava Menon has visited JGLS many times. Also, Sudhir Krishnaswamy and VC Rajkumar are good friends (same Rhodes batch) and Krishnaswamy has also visited JGLS numerous times. We also have two former NUJS VCs (Chimni/Singh) and one former NUJS Ford Chair (Baxi). Lastly, some of the NLSIU/NALSAR/NUJS alumni who taught at JGLS were among the most popular with older batch students.
