The focus on 360 degree transformation is because we function as an institution that’s committed to excellence at all levels.

Over the years, it has been our deep and rich value system that has made Galgotias University synonymous with quality education. By design, learning at Galgotias University is cross-disciplinary and integrative. Our students experience considerable flexibility, freedom, and independence in their academic programs. Given our domain-expert faculty, state-of-the-art infrastructure, international quality teaching pedagogies, excellent nurturing environment for learning and thinking, Galgotias University is emerging as the institution of choice for students of calibre pursuing higher studies. We constantly endeavour to offer world-class educational facilities and practices, and this has ensured that Galgotias University is the favoured recruitment destination for blue-chip corporates.

Students who thrive in our programs are passionate about their subjects. Many are recognised nationally for their scholarship, research, and public engagement, and make original and substantial contributions to their disciplines. Our graduates become idea-leaders who drive our global future by advancing discoveries, broadening knowledge, fostering entrepreneurship, protecting and sustaining our natural environment, and developing new technologies.

We at Galgotias University believe that our students greatly enhance the intellectual life of the University; hence we have taken the responsibility for developing and nurturing world-class professionals, by imbuing them with what we call Thinking Quotient.

We believe that we begin in the classroom with exposure to new ideas, new ways of understanding, and new ways of knowing and then our students embark on a journey of intellectual transformation.Once again, I welcome you to this seat of learning, and I wish you success as you experience an unparalleled educational journey.

Success in the current digital era lies at the convergence of technology, skilling and education. Artificial Intelligence, automation, machine learning - each of these underscores the need for rapid and flexible responses from academia. We at Galgotias University are constantly revamping and upskilling to stay ahead of the learning curve and keep up with the fast changing and tech-savvy world.

I am committed to preparing technically sound graduates for not only the current jobs but equip them with life long learning skills for futuristic corporate world requirements and entrepreneurship also.

We at the University work closely with business leaders, regulators, local bodies and other statutory bodies to ensure that the education imparted is relevant and contemporary.

I am deeply conscious of the fact that scientific and technological advancements, though critical, are by themselves not sufficient for the welfare of mankind. The main purpose of education is to enrich the character and hence we also focus on development of moral values and intellectual integrity in our students.

Ability to think critically, make informed decisions, being confident in social situations and leadership are some of the qualities that we develop in the young persons who chose Galgotias University. I am confident that with this transformative education our students will be ready to take their rightful place as high contributing citizens of our great nation.

The Campus is teeming with activities such as student clubs, sports, cultural performances, hackathons etc. which create a rich and vibrant culture. I welcome all the students and encourage you to take advantage of the opportunities that the university has to offer.

I wish you all the very best as you set out on this incredible journey at the university which will shape your destiny.
