Use a selector for the collection, then use index with the element that you are interested in, here the one that is checked.

var checkboxes = $('input:checkbox');
var selectedIndex = checkboxes.index(checkboxes.find(':checked'));

To get the index of a clicked checkbox use:

$('input:checkbox').click( function() {
    var selectedIndex = $('input:checkbox').index( $(this) );
    ... now do something with it...
});

EDIT: Based on your code sample:

var checkboxes = $('#<%=chkListGroups.ClientID %>').find('input:checkbox');
checkboxes.click(function() { 
    var selectedIndex = checkboxes.index($(this)); 
    alert(selectedIndex); 

});
