Overview
Guru Jambheshwar University of Science & Technology (GJUS&T), Hisar, was set up in 1995 under the Guru Jambheshwar University of Science and Technology Act. The university bears the name of the 15th‑century saint‑scholar Guru Jambheshwar, whose teachings stressed caring for the environment and spreading knowledge. From a modest beginning of three faculties – Engineering & Technology, Science and Agriculture – and just 300 students, it has grown into a vibrant institution with six faculties, more than 5,000 under‑grad and post‑grad learners and over 50 programmes spanning engineering, pure and applied sciences, agriculture, management and computer applications.
Key milestones include the first B.Tech batch in 1999, NAAC’s B+ accreditation the same year, the launch of the Centre for Renewable Energy in 2004, an ‘A’ grade from NAAC in 2009, the creation of an Incubation & Entrepreneurship Cell in 2013, the addition of M.Sc. (Data Science) and M.Tech (Artificial Intelligence) in 2018, and the recent NAAC ‘A+’ rating (CGPA 3.62) in 2022 along with a NIRF placement in the 101‑150 band for universities.
The university enjoys a top‑tier NAAC ‘A+’ grade (the highest among Haryana’s state universities), multiple NBA accreditations, and a respectable NIRF 2023 ranking (101‑150 among Indian universities, 151‑200 in engineering). Its faculty of roughly 300 permanent members includes about 30 % Ph.D. holders from IITs, NITs and abroad, who together have published more than 1,200 Scopus‑indexed papers, filed 45 patents (12 granted) and earned prestigious DST‑SERB, UGC‑CSIR and Haryana Sahitya Akademi awards.
Strong industry ties are evident through MoUs with over 60 companies such as Bosch, Maruti Suzuki, Mahindra & Mahindra and Indian Oil. These partnerships shape curricula, offer summer internships to around 1,200 students each year and fund joint research under the Technology Development Board and DST‑Fund for Innovation.
The campus ecosystem is equally impressive. It hosts 20 B.Tech, 12 M.Tech, 8 M.Sc, 5 MBA and 4 Ph.D. streams, supported by a central nanotech laboratory, an advanced materials testing lab, a 120‑acre greenhouse, a 256‑core HPC cluster and an Innovation Hub equipped with 3‑D printers and a Fab‑lab. Student support includes scholarships worth ₹2.5 crore, ₹1 crore earmarked for entrepreneurship grants, a career‑services centre that places 85 % of graduates within six months, and an average salary of ₹6.5 LPA for B.Tech and ₹8.2 LPA for M.Tech graduates. The 250‑acre green campus features hostels for 1,800 students, a sports complex, a 1,200‑seat auditorium and a digital library with over 100,000 e‑books and 3,200 e‑journals. Community outreach runs through the ‘Jambheshwar Rural Development Programme’, delivering agro‑technology training to 12 villages, while the annual ‘Green Fest’ draws more than 10,000 participants.
Looking ahead (2025‑2030), GJUS&T aims to secure ₹150 crore in external research funding, forge EU Horizon and ASEAN university collaborations, nurture 100 start‑ups with a ₹20 crore seed fund and roll out a campus‑wide Smart Campus platform powered by IoT and AI. In short, the university has transformed from a modest state initiative into a research‑driven, industry‑aligned hub that offers high value to students, faculty, Haryana and the wider Indian innovation ecosystem.
