Jawaharlal Nehru University, constituted under the Jawaharlal Nehru University Act 1966, (53 of 1966) came into existence in 1969. Its objectives, as defined in the First Schedule of the Act, are as follows: "The University shall endeavor to promote the principles for which Jawaharlal Nehru worked during his life-time, national integration, social justice, secularism, democratic way of life, international understanding and scientific approach to the problems of society. 

Towards this end, the University shall:

(i) foster the composite culture of India and establish such departments or institutions as may be required for the study and development of the languages, arts and culture of India

(ii) take special measures to facilitate students and teachers from all over India to join the University and participate in its academic programmes

(iii) promote in the students and teachers an awareness and understanding of the social needs of the country and prepare them for fulfilling such needs

(iv) make special provision for integrated courses in humanities, science and technology in the educational programmes of the University

(v) take appropriate measures for promoting interdisciplinary studies in the University

(vi) establish such departments or institutions as may be necessary for the study of languages, literature and life of foreign countries with a view to inculcating in the students a world perspective and international understanding

(vii) provide facilities for students and teachers from other countries to participate in the academic programmes and life of the University."

In the light of the above, the approach of the University has been to evolve policies and programmes which will make Jawaharlal Nehru University a distinct addition to the national resources in higher education rather than a mere quantitative expansion of facilities which already exist. The University has identified and is concentrating upon some major academic programmes, which are of relevance to national progress and development. The basic academic units of the University are not single discipline departments but multidisciplinary Schools of Studies. A School has been visualised as a community of scholars from disciplines which are linked with each other organically in terms of their subject-matter and methodology as well as in terms of problem areas.

The University is ranked #2 by NIRF 2023 and accredited by NAAC at A++ level. University Grants Commission has offered the University "Catergory 1" status under UGC [Categorization of Universities (only) for grant of graded autonomy] Regulations, 2018
