JGU’s Merit-Cum-Means Scholarship Initiative

O.P. Jindal Global University announced the award of more than 2,000 scholarships to deserving students for the academic year 2024-25. This initiative aims to provide outstanding young talent with equal opportunities to access high-quality education. The decision to award these scholarships for the incoming batch of 2024-25 marked the special occasion of the 15th anniversary of JGU, to be celebrated in 2024. This effort was taken to empower more than 60% of the new students admitted in 2024 to receive scholarships to study at JGU. With this initiative, JGU continues to ensure that these invaluable resources are accessible to exceptionally talented individuals, enriching its academic community and fostering global excellence. Scholarships at JGU are awarded on a merit-cum-means basis, following a transparent and holistic admissions process.

 

The Scholarship Programme is a common approach used by universities worldwide to support their students with financial assistance. At O.P. Jindal Global University (JGU), our financial aid system aims to support the dreams of our students. A JGU Scholarship is not just financial assistance but a pathway to success and achievement for our students.
We ensure that our scholarships reach deserving students and help them thrive in their academic careers. Every year, JGU follows a Merit cum Means (MCM) basis for scholarships, inviting applications from students. We maintain a robust review system where the Scholarship Committee evaluates each application with equality and transparency. The criteria considered include merit (CGPA) and means (family income), covering a wide range of factors including academic performance and achievements in co-curricular activities such as arts, sports, debates, and cultural activities.

Rules and regulations related to scholarships are reviewed annually to adapt to external changes and uncertainties, ensuring maximum benefit for students.
