The university occupies a 1000-acre campus which exists in the Aravalli Hills and provides a space for scholarly research and facilities which support social and political discussions. The university attracts students from different parts of India and the world because its academic programs promote interdisciplinary research and critical thinking skills which create a unique educational environment. The institution maintains its position as one of India top educational institutions because it has received an A++ rating from the National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC) and it achieves high rankings in national institutional assessment systems.

The Parliament of India established the university in 1969 through an act which named it after Jawaharlal Nehru, India's first Prime Minister, who founded the university as a tool for developing national progress and social transformation. JNU has operated since its founding as a distinct educational institution which emphasizes postgraduate study and encourages scholarly discussion while rejecting traditional educational practices that focus on memorization. The institution has functioned as a crucial site for political movements which have transformed India's government system while it continues to support intellectual freedom. The institution has developed into an essential location for building postcolonial national identity through its activities which produce powerful graduates who work in government roles and diplomatic positions and academia throughout the world.
