O.P. Jindal Global University: Hostel & Accommodation

JGU is a fully residential university and publishes accommodation charges alongside tuition for each residential programme. Rooms are shared: the Student Handbook states accommodation is on a three- and four-people sharing basis, with no single occupancy available. For 2026-27 the annual residential charge is INR 2,32,000 on the five-year law degrees, INR 2,31,100 on the liberal arts, political science and MBA programmes and INR 1,81,100 on the M.A. Public Policy. Allied service charges covering food, laundry, security, housekeeping and electricity add INR 1,48,900 a year on the law degrees and INR 1,24,900 elsewhere, and a one-time refundable deposit of INR 50,000 applies. Both charges rise by up to ten per cent a year. The Master of Public Health is non-residential and carries neither.

Catering and housekeeping are contracted to Sodexo. All JGU dining halls serve vegetarian food, with eggs in some meals; non-vegetarian food is available on payment at other campus outlets. The Vidya Devi Jindal dining block runs over seven floors and seats 7,000 at a time. Named outlets in the T6 food court include Subway, Bikanervala, Dunkin', Oki Poki and Millets & More, most open from 11:00 to 01:00. Dining staff handle allergy, intolerance and religious dietary requests on request.

JGU is fully residential, with more than 16,000 students, over 1,100 full-time faculty and around 2,900 administrative staff on one campus at Sonipat Narela Road. Faculty come from more than 50 countries and students from more than 75. The Global Library covers 15,000 square feet, seats over 650 people at once, and keeps more than 60 per cent of its floor area open around the clock. Named facilities include the Naveen Jindal Sports Academy, the RASA and SAMA student activity spaces, a Film and Television Studio and Multimedia Lab, and 50 bookable conference and breakout rooms.

The JGU Health Centre has a dedicated Emergency Ward and runs a 24/7 helpline staffed by a resident medical officer on duty, backed by an Emergency Response Coordination Centre and Advanced Cardiac Life Support and Basic Life Support ambulances stationed across campus. A published escalation matrix runs from the duty officer through the head of nursing to the Chief Medical Superintendent. Security issues route to a Quick Response Team. Sukoon On Campus provides 24x7 mental health support, confidential one-to-one therapy and a dedicated helpline. Statutory bodies include the Anti-Ragging Committee, the Committee on Gender Sensitisation Against Sexual Harassment, the Committee on Disability Issues and the Anti-Discrimination Committee. The English Language Centre, running since 2012, teaches reading, writing, listening and speaking to students from other language backgrounds.
