UP CM Applauds Galgotias University’s Global Ranking Rise
Galgotias University has received strong commendation from the Hon’ble Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh, Shri Yogi Adityanath ji, for its rising presence in global higher education rankings and its focus on innovation-led academic models. During a special interaction, the Chief Minister lauded the University’s performance in the QS World University Rankings and Times Higher Education (THE) rankings, describing Galgotias University as a benchmark institution for higher education across Uttar Pradesh and a source of pride for the state.
Highlighting the broader significance of the achievement, the Chief Minister encouraged the University to sustain its momentum and continue its ascent in global rankings. He conveyed his blessings for Galgotias University to achieve even greater international recognition in the coming years.
During the interaction, Shri Yogi Adityanath ji underscored the importance of academic excellence, innovation-driven education, and global collaboration in establishing Uttar Pradesh as an emerging knowledge and education hub. He noted that the state’s progressive governance and development framework is increasingly being recognised nationwide, particularly in education, infrastructure development, and global engagement. Within this context, he appreciated Galgotias University’s consistent efforts to build a world-class academic ecosystem and observed that institutions of this calibre inspire others across the state to pursue international benchmarks.
A notable highlight of the discussion was the Chief Minister’s appreciation of G-SCALE (Galgotias Student-Centred Active Learning Ecosystem), the University’s student-focused academic philosophy. Recognised as a future-ready education model, G-SCALE emphasises immersive, personalised, and experiential learning aligned with global best practices. The University’s academic framework is further strengthened through inspiration drawn from the InsPIRE model at Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Singapore, reflecting its commitment to globally benchmarked learning standards.
The Chief Minister also expressed satisfaction with Galgotias University’s strategic focus on emerging and critical technology domains, including Artificial Intelligence (AI), Semiconductor education and research, and Drone technology. He noted that such forward-looking initiatives play a vital role in preparing students for next-generation industries while supporting India’s vision of technological self-reliance and innovation-led growth.
In addition, Shri Yogi Adityanath ji acknowledged the advantage offered by Greater Noida’s rapidly expanding global infrastructure, particularly the upcoming Noida International Airport, which is expected to significantly enhance international connectivity, faculty engagement, and student mobility. The University’s growing network of global faculty members, visiting professors, and international research collaborations was highlighted as a key contributor to its rising academic stature on the global stage.
Speaking on the occasion, Dr. Dhruv Galgotia, CEO of Galgotias University, said,
“We are deeply honoured by the encouraging words and blessings of Hon’ble Chief Minister Shri Yogi Adityanath ji. His recognition of Galgotias University’s achievements in the QS and THE rankings is a strong validation of our efforts. Through our G-SCALE learning ecosystem, academic inspiration from the InsPIRE model at Nanyang Technological University, Singapore, and focused initiatives in AI, Semiconductor, and Drone technologies, supported by active global faculty engagement, we are building a truly future-ready academic environment. Our mission is to contribute meaningfully to Uttar Pradesh’s vision of becoming a global destination for quality education while nurturing leaders who will drive India’s growth story.”
The recognition further reinforces Galgotias University’s mission to deliver globally benchmarked education rooted in innovation, research, and industry relevance.
