Welcoming this exciting development, Professor (Dr.) C. Raj Kumar, Founding Vice-Chancellor of JGU said, “JGU being recognised among the top 2.5% of universities in the world is testament to its aspiration to be a world-class university. This remarkable achievement of JGU rising to the 651-700 band this yearfrom the 751-800 band last year, as per prestigious QS World University Rankings 2021 is a watershed moment and is indeed a landmark development and an important milestone in our brief institutional journey. We are deeply humbled by this international recognition for our commitment to maintaining the highest standards of excellence in higher education. Being a decade-old, private, non-STEM, non-Medicine University, we are elated to have broken all stereotypes of what it takes to become a world-class university. Our constant endeavour will be to further strengthen our teaching, learning outcomes, international collaborations and quality.” Referring to the unprecedented challenges and current uncertainties during a pandemic, Professor Raj Kumar affirmed the institutional commitment to promoting excellence at JGU and said, “At 11 years of age, a youthful and dynamic JGU is leading the path for a resurgent and emerging India to make a mark in the global higher education space.

In his reaction, Professor (Dr.) Y.S.R. Murthy, Registrar of JGU said, “I am excited about this development. At JGU, we are strongly committed to ensuring world-class education and these rankings vindicate the steps taken by us since our inception. To jump to the 651-700 band this year from 751-800 band last year and become the number one ranked Private University would not have become possible without a sound vision, implementation plan and sustained hard work. I wish to sincerely thank all Members of the Governing Body and other apex bodies of the University, faculty members, staff, students and our partner institutions for their laudable contribution in this achievement.”
These results were released shortly after JGU became the first Indian university to receive QS IGAUGE E-Learning Excellence for Academic Digitisation (E-LEAD) Certification from the coveted QS IGAUGE for e-learning excellence. This represents JGU’s commitment towards providing its students a truly global experience in their academic pursuits while ensuring that even a global pandemic like COVID-19 does not deter them.
This news indeed comes as a ray of hope for students who aspire to pursue a world class education at a global university in India.
Professor (Dr.) Ashish Bharadwaj, Dean, Jindal School of Banking and Finance and Executive Director of the Office of Rankings, Benchmarking and Institutional Transformation (ORBIT) said “As a very young and focused university, we are delighted to be a part of an illustrious league of mature national and international universities. We envisage entering the top 500 globally in the near future for which healthy competition and fruitful cooperation are vital to success.”
Professor Arjya B. Majumdar, Dean, Admissions & Outreach and Executive Director of the Office of Rankings, Benchmarking and Institutional Transformation (ORBIT) said “This is indicative of the quality of our faculty, the work that we do, and our reputation globally. We should, of course, be mindful that rankings are but a tool to determine excellence – a means to an end and not the end itself. Having gone up in the QS WUR since last year, this means that we’re well on our journey to excellence.”

This service can now be availed to buy groceries, milk, and other home essentials from neighbourhood Kirana stores and also at popular retail destinations such as Reliance Fresh, Haldiram, Apollo Pharmacy, Croma, Shoppers Stop among others. Additionally, it has also been extended to various bill payments facilities available on Paytm, shopping on Paytm Mall, and online payments at internet apps such as Domino’s, Tata Sky, Pepperfry, HungerBox, Patanjali, Spencer’s among others. This service comes as a great relief to Paytm users during the ongoing lockdown, as the increased credit limit & a large set of use-cases will eliminate the need to withdraw cash for meeting monthly household expenses.
Paytm Postpaid is offered in partnership with two leading NBFCs with an instant credit line for various payments to Paytm app users. Seeing an increasing demand for consumer credit during the ongoing pandemic, the company has increased this credit limit up to Rs. 100,000 of monthly spends to enable payment for large items such as furniture and consumer electronics among others.

The company has introduced 3 variants of Postpaid viz. Lite, Delite and Elite which will be offered based on partner NBFC’s assessment. While Postpaid Lite comes with limits up to Rs. 20,000 and a convenience charge which will be added to the monthly bill, the Delite and Elite offer credit limits from Rs. 20,000 to Rs. 1,00,000 in monthly spends with no convenience charges.

However, there is no cost associated with activating & keeping Paytm Postpaid or any of its variants.
Amit Nayyar, President at Paytm said, “Paytm Postpaid is our mission to provide access to credit to every Paytm user. During this ongoing pandemic, it becomes more important for us to stand by fellow Indians and give them the power to buy on credit when required.
We are excited to expand this service for payments at kirana and online stores that play an important role in the whole neighbourhood and online shopping experience. We will keep expanding the offering to include more and more Paytm users.”
