Along with the graduating students of 2022, graduates from the 2020 and 2021 batch also attended the ceremony. 

The Founding Chancellor of O.P. Jindal Global University paid homage to his father, O.P. Jindal, in whose memory this university was established. “The unfortunate COVID-19 pandemic and the uncertainty and the unprecedented challenges that you all faced in the last two years, did not stop you from persevering in your commitment to making all-out efforts so that all the students have the best access to a world-class education. I am sure you will remain focused throughout and carve out your own destiny. You have to assume full responsibility for your learning and for your professional development. You have received the best environment to seek knowledge and hone your skills for your life. You should always abide by the core values of your alma mater and stand by your principles with a deep commitment to public service”, he said.

He also stressed on the fact that the achievements of the university speak volumes about the world-class education it provides to its students. “You are proud ambassadors of this university, and we are very proud of your achievements. The university has and shall always stand with its graduates. In our alumni, we see our future and you are also the future of this country and the world”, he said.

Congratulating the students, faculty, and staff of JGU for attaining high standards of academic excellence, Justice DY Chandrachud said, “In a short span of time, JGU has emerged as a preeminent university delivering quality education to a wide spectrum of students from across India and globally. These collective efforts of the students, faculty and administration have been internationally recognised by the prestigious QS World University Rankings. Even domestically, JGU has been conferred with the status of an Institution of Eminence by the Government of India. I congratulate them for attaining the high standards of academic excellence.”
