JMI

JMI is most commonly an acronym for Jamia Millia Islamia, a central university located in New Delhi, India. The institution was established in 1920 during the Indian independence movement by nationalist leaders to promote education and cultural development among Indian Muslims and to provide an alternative to colonial educational institutions. In the years following independence, Jamia Millia Islamia was reorganized and, by an act of Parliament in 1957, it was designated a central university funded by the Government of India.

The university offers undergraduate, postgraduate, and doctoral programs across a wide range of disciplines. Its academic structure includes faculties and schools covering the humanities, social sciences, sciences, engineering and technology, law, management, journalism, education, and fine arts. Jamia Millia Islamia also hosts research centers, libraries, and cultural facilities that support both teaching and community outreach.

Campus and governance are notable aspects of the institution. The main campus is located in the Jamia Nagar area of South Delhi, with additional facilities and centers spread across Delhi and other sites in India. As a central university, Jamia Millia Islamia is overseen by a governance framework that includes a vice-chancellor and a governing body, with the President of India serving as the Visitor, a formal role in ceremonial and oversight capacities.

Other uses of the acronym JMI exist in different contexts. In encyclopedic or research references, JMI typically points to Jamia Millia Islamia when discussing Indian higher education and related topics.
