The Story behind Galgotias University

India harbours the dreams and aspirations of millions of people. For fulfilling their dreams, the nation is constantly striving to increase and spread the waves of education. Talking about colleges and universities in India, there are mainly government-run and private institutes. The Galgotias University is a leading private institution in the whole country.

Located in Greater Noida, UP, near the Yamuna Expressway, the university was set up in the year 2011 with the distinguished Suneel Galgotia acting as the Chairman. It slowly emerged as the leading player in undergraduate courses with its cross-disciplinary and integrative programs. Further, the University has strived to achieve the “students first” ideology right from the very beginning. This is probably one of the reasons for which Galgotias University has appealed to many young aspiring students.

With further progress and Dhruv Galgotia becoming the Chief Executive Officer, the university expanded its intake of students and courses. Now the approximate number of undergraduates in GU accounts to 5000 and 2000, in the case of postgraduates. Its course has also been enhanced with its certain certifications over the years. This started with the obvious and common central (University Grant Commission) and state government recognition which all leading universities in India require. The technological colleges within GU got recognition with approval from the AICTE (All India Council for Technical Education). The AICTE is the highest body to give recognition to technical colleges in India. The law programs that are taught here also got recognized by the Bar Council of India. Other recognitions have been awarded by Pharmacy Council of India, Council for Teacher Education and Indian Nursing Council.

There is also an interesting philosophy behind creating the logo of the University. It contains three shades of blue, red and yellow. The logo reflects the faculty’s aim of combining academic performance and other activities to create a unique blend to the path of success. The colour red is a symbol of enthusiasm and energy. This communicates to people the aim of Galgotias to bring a new wave of zeal and perfection for the generations to come in the not too distant future. Yellow signifies bold and open communication skills and innovation. For this reason, Galgotias University strives to pick and choose the brightest and most skilled minds. Coming to blue, it is a shade of trust, a shade of conviction, a shade of commitment. Since its creation, Galgotias has strived and worked a lot to achieve a well-earned position of trust and commitment, making it what it is today.

Hence, the Galgotias University has rightfully made its reputation and status in the highly competitive world of the various colleges and universities in India. The several awards and mentions on top 10 lists by leading Indian journals and magazines bear testimony to this. The vision of Dhruv Galgotia and Suneel Galgotia has borne fruit in the form of several bright and striving students coming out of Galgotias University. And even in the face of adversity, this vision will keep on inspiring students.
