As per the Quacquarelli Symonds rankings for 2026, Galgotias University has workflowed for the placement band 1201-1400 in the global rankings overall, 15th among Private Universities in India, and ranked 43rd in India overall among all institutions (public or private). This praise demonstrates Galgotias ongoing pursuit of excellence, relevance in the world, and growth in the higher education sector.

Galgotias is 6th in India for international students and diversity; 9th for international faculty; 13th for faculty-student ratio; and 20th for academics reputation; which therefore, indicates Galgotias's focus on global targets and a student-centered educational delivery model.

Dr. Dhruv Galgotia, Chief Executive Officer at Galgotias University commented on this achievement by stating, "“This is a proud moment for Galgotias University. Breaking into the QS Rankings is a reflection of our commitment to world-class education, cutting-edge research, and holistic development of our students. We dedicate this achievement to our outstanding faculty, students, and partners who continue to push the boundaries of excellence.”

Galgotias’ success story is based on its innovative educational model—Galgotias Student-Centric Active Learning Ecosystem (G-SCALE), characterized by collaborative, experiential, and industry-focused learning, rather than rote modalities. With projects and world-class innovation labs, such as the IOS Development Centre—the first of its kind, developed by Galgotias University in partnership with Apple and Infosys—the university seeks to produce global citizens able to apply education to address real-world challenges.

Dr. Dhruv Galgotia remains firmly committed to the idea of transforming conventional education with active learning through global collaboration and innovation. His mission extends beyond developing one of the top universities in India, to developing a universally respected and recognized model institution.

Hon’ble Chancellor Mr. Suneel Galgotia founded Galgotias University on the foundation attributes of holistic growth, ethical values, and quality education, and believes strongly in inclusivity and integrity, as seen in the mission and values of the university today.

Our goal is to shape the future of Indian higher education with the support of consultation and mentorship from Inspire at Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Singapore by spreading active learning as a practice in Indian academia.

In a mere 14 years, Galgotias has grown to become one of the most vibrant and fastest-growing institutions in India. Partly as a result of the attention it has attracted through its research impact, international partnerships, preparation for the workforce of the future, and empowering students. Now with global recognition in the QS Rankings, Galgotias is celebrating not only a milestone, but a continuous movement towards shaping the future of education from India, for the world.
