How India’s 9th Best University is Leading Ethical AI Adoption in Research

“Jenni AI is an excellent research support tool. I find it immensely helpful in structuring research drafts, refining academic writing, and saving time without compromising quality.”

– Dr. Ruby Singh, Associate Professor at LPU

About LPU: A Leading University in India

Lovely Professional University (LPU), located in Phagwara, Punjab, is one of India’s top private universities. Established in 2005, it now serves more than 34,000 students and employs over 2,000 faculty members across a wide range of disciplines. In the National Institutional Ranking Framework (NIRF) 2025, LPU is ranked 31st among all universities in India, highlighting its growing reputation for research, innovation, and quality education.

Before Jenni: The Challenge of Academic Writing

For LPU’s professors and lecturers, juggling teaching, research, and administrative duties is a daily reality. Writing research papers and articles is critical to their work, but it can be incredibly time consuming. Before Jenni, faculty members had to manually search for relevant literature, format citations one by one, and struggle through writer’s block to draft papers. “I have used [Jenni] and it helps a lot in my research,” one professor noted, reflecting how tedious writing tasks used to slow down the research process. Faculty often spent hours combing through databases for sources and ensuring proper citation formats, time that could otherwise be spent on data analysis or mentoring students. There was a clear need for a tool that could streamline these writing tasks without sacrificing academic rigor.

Introducing Jenni AI to LPU’s Faculty

LPU’s academic leadership decided to introduce Jenni AI to a group of faculty members as a trial, aiming to alleviate their writing challenges. Jenni AI is an AI powered writing assistant with features like AI autocomplete (to suggest sentence completions and ideas) and auto citation (to find and format references). It was quickly embraced by the participants. The tool’s user-friendly interface and immediate usefulness made an impact.

Faculty from the School of Computer Science and Engineering were among the first to try Jenni, but the pilot soon expanded to other disciplines as well. The common reaction was excitement at how much easier writing became. One faculty member described Jenni as “a valuable, user friendly tool for students and writers,” praising its AI autocomplete feature for improving writing speed and quality. Others highlighted how Jenni helped them overcome writer’s block by suggesting the next sentence or paragraph, almost like having a smart co-author on call. The automated citation feature was especially popular. Instead of laboriously formatting references, professors could simply ask Jenni to insert a citation and continue writing. “Jenni provides relevant references to research papers within seconds,” noted Kumar Saurabh, an assistant professor who found that this feature freed him from hours of manual literature searching. Jenni even helped users create structured outlines for their papers, ensuring that arguments flowed logically and no key section was overlooked.

Crucially, Jenni’s suggestions and citations come with appropriate referencing, which meant faculty could trust the tool to maintain academic integrity. “It enhances productivity and allows me to focus more on innovation and teaching,” Dr. Ruby Singh explained, because she could rely on Jenni to handle the detailed tasks of writing while she refined ideas and analyzed results. The positive feedback was nearly universal. Many participants began advocating for extending access to Jenni so the rest of the institution could benefit from it.

Results: Hundreds of Hours Saved and Better Writing

In a short span of two months, the collaboration between LPU faculty and Jenni AI produced remarkable productivity gains. By the numbers, here are the key outcomes from the pilot:

With over 60 LPU faculty members actively using Jenni, the writing process has become faster and more effective across multiple departments. Drafts are better structured and supported by richer literature, and the reduced administrative load means researchers can focus more on innovation and teaching.

Faculty report that their writing process has become not only faster but also more effective. With Jenni handling repetitive tasks and offering smart suggestions, writers can maintain their momentum and focus on the substance of their work. The quality of drafts improved as well, with documents better structured and supported by relevant literature. “It does help in creating the outline of the paper as well as provides the relevant content to write,” added Prof. Saurabh, highlighting how Jenni ensures no important point is missed. Because citations are so easily managed, faculty are engaging with more sources than before, confident that Jenni will quickly format any reference they need. The convenience led at least one user to simply exclaim that “Jenni AI is good and is also appreciated, kindly extend the date,” a lighthearted way of asking for the tool to remain available longer.

Perhaps most importantly, these efficiency gains have reduced stress for educators who no longer have to work late into the night catching up on writing. By removing tedious bottlenecks, Jenni enabled LPU’s academics to spend more time on creative thinking and actual research. As Dr. Ruby Singh noted she could “focus more on innovation and teaching” now that Jenni was part of her workflow.

Looking Forward: Scaling AI Writing Assistance at LPU

Given the overwhelmingly positive experience, LPU is exploring ways to expand the use of Jenni AI. The pilot showed that AI tools can seamlessly augment academic work, not by replacing the researcher or writer but by amplifying their abilities. Seeing faculty from multiple disciplines benefit from Jenni has sparked interest in making it available to more educators and even students across the university.

Moving forward, LPU envisions integrating Jenni AI as a writing companion in research groups, faculty development programs, and possibly in graduate student training. The goal is to create a campus culture where routine writing drudgery is minimized, giving scholars more freedom to innovate. The Jenni AI team has been actively supporting LPU during this pilot, gathering feedback to further refine the tool for academic use cases. The partnership exemplifies how forward thinking universities like LPU can leverage AI to modernize academic workflows.

In the coming semesters, LPU faculty hope to continue using Jenni to write and publish with greater efficiency. With hundreds of hours already saved and such enthusiastic feedback from users, this case study at LPU showcases a compelling example of humans and AI working hand in hand in education.

Jenni AI helped talented educators reclaim precious time. They can now invest it in mentoring students, developing new ideas, and pushing the boundaries of knowledge. It is a win win for everyone in
