CGC Jhanjeri Becomes First in North India to Achieve QS I-GAUGE Platinum Rating Across All Parameters

In an extraordinary leap forward on India’s academic landscape, Chandigarh Group of Colleges, Jhanjeri has etched its name into the annals of educational excellence by becoming the first institution in North India to secure the prestigious PLATINUM rating by QS I-GAUGE—the globally recognized rating system for colleges and universities.

What sets this honor apart is not merely the recognition itself, but the universality of excellence that CGC Jhanjeri has demonstrated. Unlike many institutions that are lauded for select strengths, CGC Jhanjeri has triumphed across all nine QS I-GAUGE benchmarks, a feat that places it in an elite academic league. These parameters—Teaching & Learning, Faculty Quality, Employability, Diversity & Accessibility, Facilities, Social Responsibility, Governance & Structure, Arts & Culture, and Academic Development—reflect a holistic and uncompromising commitment to academic brilliance, institutional innovation, and societal impact.

This milestone is not just an accolade—it is a statement of intent, of identity, and of vision. At a time when the landscape of higher education is being reshaped by global standards and expectations, CGC Jhanjeri is not just keeping pace—it is setting the benchmark.

This latest distinction adds to the institution’s growing legacy of excellence, joining a series of high-profile recognitions including its NAAC A+ Accreditation and consistently commendable NIRF rankings. Together, these achievements paint a picture of an institution not content with mediocrity, but driven by continuous evolution, measurable impact, and global relevance.

The QS I-GAUGE Platinum rating underscores CGC Jhanjeri’s transformation from a regional academic hub to a nationally certified centre of excellence. It validates the institution’s philosophy of outcomes over optics, where every metric is not just aimed for but mastered—from pedagogical innovation and student success to social outreach and cultural vibrancy.

This is more than a recognition; it’s a resounding endorsement of vision, leadership, and uncompromising standards. As CGC Jhanjeri celebrates this monumental milestone, it also signals a clarion call for academic institutions across the nation—excellence is not a claim, it’s a calibrated conquest.
