Chintal School of Liberal Arts and Humanities is affiliated with OP Jindal Global University. The University was established at the charitable organisation of the famous Jindal Steel and power industry. Maybe because of this but mostly due to the excellent faculty and due to the caliber of the students available in the university and its various schools, a variety of recruiters visit the campus in Sonipat for placements. Even a very specialised course like Liberal Arts, finds many recruiters thronging to it for getting trained students. As per one report, the highest domestic package offered by one of the recruiters was 11 LPA. Even otherwise the students do get opportunities for internships in famous MNCs as well as Indian companies and in many cases this turns out to be placement as well after the passing out of the student. 

The admission processes that different deemed to be universities follow are not exactly replicas of what is followed by government universities for public institutions in general. In the case of Jindal Global University they conduct an entrance test which is utilised only as a means to filter the candidates since neither the ranking nor the marks obtained have a significance except that the student has to pass the exam by scoring a minimum of 50% marks. Once a student clears this hurdle then he has to be physically present on the University campus for an interview where a panel of the university will check out if you are eligible for admission or not after a round of interviews. We can see that there is no issue of any cut-off for getting admission to this institution the only thing to be ensured is passing this aptitude test by scoring 50% of marks. 

The university to which JSLH is affiliated claims that the admission process is holistic in nature and is merit-based with subtle differences depending on the programme and the school of studies for which one is applying. The process is online, to begin with. A student needs to register on the portal of the university then his login ID or email needs to be verified then the student gets an online application form gives choices, pay the application fees and upload the documents required. Like for undergraduate courses passing 10th and 12th is mandatory and hence the mark list be uploaded. In addition, Jindal University conducts a common entrance test called the Jindal Scholastic Aptitude Test which can be taken sitting at home in a proctored mode. Shortlisted candidates are then called for a sort of interview and based on their evaluation are offered admission for the course they have applied. So in a way direct admission without this process is not feasible. 

Yes in a way we can definitely say that to study at Jindal School of liberal arts and humanities is a costly affair. With fees varying between three and a half Lakhs to 6 Lakhs per annum, for 4 year course, the total fees work out to be 14 Lakhs to 24 lakhs. Perhaps this is justified since the university as well as this particular school boasts of a very good faculty and facilities that are offered to the students. In addition to this, the students get exposure to the real world by way of curriculum and also by way of internships. But perhaps this costly affair could be justified by the aura that surrounds this institution in the sphere of Liberal Arts.
