ICFAI University Jharkhand is a UGC-recognized private university established in 2007 under the Jharkhand Act 08, 2007, operating from its main campus and headquarters in Ranchi, Jharkhand, India. The university is part of the ICFAI Group, a 30+ year educational conglomerate with pan-India presence across 11 universities, 9 B-Schools, 7 Tech-Schools, and 5 Law-Schools.

The university's revenue model is tuition-driven, with semester-based program fees and concessions for Jharkhand-domicile students, supplemented by merit scholarships and government scholarship support via the E-Kalyan scheme.

Statutory recognitions include UGC Sections 2(f) and 22, Bar Council of India approval for law programs, and Association of Indian Universities (AIU) membership.
