Raj Kumar, the Founding Vice Chancellor and Founding Dean of JGLS, praised the LNAT Test for its comprehensive assessment of candidates' reading comprehension and logical thinking skills, without relying on rote learning. He emphasized the test's smooth administration worldwide, providing a fair opportunity for all JGLS aspirants.

Vice Dean Professor Anand Prakash Mishra announced that 75% of seats for the 2025 academic year have already been filled through the Early Admission Process. The remaining 25% of seats across the BCom LLB, BA LLB, and BBA LLB programs will be filled based on the LNAT Test scores obtained on or before 30 April 2025. With a total of 300 seats across these programs, the law school aims to admit 75 students into each program.
