Galgotias University has made a significant leap on the global academic stage, earning a prestigious spot in the QS World University Rankings 2026 by Quacquarelli Symonds. The university now ranks in the 1201–1400 band globally, and is placed 15th among India’s top private universities and 43rd among all Indian institutions, both public and private—a testament to its rising influence in higher education.
This global recognition is further reinforced by Galgotias’ strong performance in several key international indicators:
- 6th in India for international students and campus diversity
- 9th for international faculty presence
- 13th for faculty-to-student ratio
- 20th for academic reputation
These distinctions underscore the university’s global standards, inclusive outlook, and student-first approach.
Dr. Dhruv Galgotia, CEO of Galgotias University, expressed his pride:
“This is a proud moment for Galgotias University. Being featured in the QS Rankings reflects our commitment to world-class education, cutting-edge research, and the holistic development of our students. We dedicate this achievement to our incredible faculty, students, and global partners who continue to push the boundaries of excellence.”
Central to Galgotias’ rapid rise is its innovative Galgotias Student-Centric Active Learning Ecosystem (G-SCALE). Moving beyond traditional rote learning, G-SCALE emphasizes collaborative, hands-on, and industry-aligned education. Through real-world projects and state-of-the-art labs—like the Apple-powered iOS Development Center and collaborations with Infosys—Galgotias is preparing students for global careers and real-world impact.
Dr. Galgotia has long championed a shift from outdated teaching methods to active learning, global collaboration, and innovative pedagogy. His vision is not merely to lead in India, but to build a university that serves as a model for institutions worldwide.
Mr. Suneel Galgotia, Hon’ble Chancellor and founder, established the university on a foundation of holistic development, ethical values, and academic excellence. His enduring commitment to inclusive, character-driven education continues to shape the institution’s identity and mission.
Looking ahead, Galgotias University remains focused on transforming higher education in India. With support from Inspire at Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Singapore, the university is advancing its active learning initiatives through global consultancy and mentorship.
In just 14 years, Galgotias has emerged as one of India’s fastest-advancing universities. This milestone in the QS World Rankings not only reflects its global academic standing but also marks a larger movement—redefining higher education from India, for the world.
