Review for Galgotias University, Greater Noida ?? Galgotias University is one of the most recognized private universities in North India, especially in the Delhi-NCR region. Being a student here, I’ve experienced many positives that make it stand out — but also a few things that aspirants should be aware of Campus & Infrastructure The campus is modern and well-maintained. You’ll find centralized AC classrooms, large lecture halls, high-speed Wi-Fi, and a digital library. The labs are well-equipped — especially for CSE, ECE, and core engineering streams. There’s a food court, CCD, Domino’s, and plenty of green space to hang out. Faculty & Academics The faculty here is mixed — some are really good with solid industry and research experience, while some are average and just follow the routine. If you’re serious and take initiative, you’ll find good mentors. Attendance is strict, and internal assessments are taken seriously, which can be both a plus and a minus depending on your perspective. Placements CSE and allied branches (like AI/DS) get decent placements. Companies like Wipro, TCS, Infosys, Capgemini, and a few product-based companies visit the campus. Average package for CSE hovers around 4–5 LPA, but if you upskill (DSA, development, etc.), you can go beyond that too. Core branch placements are a bit less impressive but improving. Student Life & Fests Campus life is energetic. You’ll meet students from all over India. Clubs and societies are active — whether it's coding, dance, music, sports, or drama. The annual fest G-Quasar is a highlight, with big artists performing and multiple competitions happening. Hostel & Facilities Hostels are decent but a bit costly. Rooms are shared (2-3 per room), food is average but hygienic. There’s laundry service, Wi-Fi, security, etc. You’ll get better experience if you stay in PGs nearby as per your budget. Location Advantage Being in Greater Noida, it’s well-connected via metro and highways. You’ll find malls, hospitals, and restaurants within a 10-15 minute radius. Also, many internships and events in Delhi-NCR region are easily accessible.

Campus Life: College isn't just about books and exams — it's where life happens. My journey at Galgotias University has been a rollercoaster of emotions, experiences, and evolution. From the awkward first day to finding my place and people, every moment has been a part of my growth. The Beginning — Stepping Into the Unknown When I first entered the campus, I was excited, nervous, and clueless — all at once. New faces, unfamiliar classrooms, and a massive campus made me feel like a tiny dot in a huge world. But slowly, things started falling into place. The lectures became routine, I found friends I could count on, and the campus began to feel like home. Academics and Learning Curve The academic life at Galgotias is quite structured. Yes, there are some faculty who simply go by the book, but there are also a few who truly care about helping students grow. As a CSE student, I dove into the world of coding, development, and problem-solving. From debugging errors at 2 AM to celebrating the first working project — it was all part of the learning curve.

Faculty: Galgotias University has a mixed bag of faculty members. Some professors are incredibly knowledgeable and bring years of industry experience to the classroom, making their lectures insightful and practical. These are the professors who don’t just stick to textbooks but relate concepts to real-world scenarios. On the other hand, some professors take a more traditional, textbook-based approach, which can feel repetitive at times. However, overall, the teaching staff is approachable and willing to help if you take the initiative. The good thing is, you get the chance to learn from both experienced and younger faculty, which creates a good balance of theoretical and practical knowledge. Industry Exposure: A Step in the Right Direction One of the highlights of studying at Galgotias is the industry exposure they try to provide. The university has collaborations with various tech companies and organizes workshops, guest lectures, and seminars where industry professionals come to speak. These sessions give you insight into how concepts learned in class are applied in the real world, which is a crucial aspect of preparing for a career after college.

Placements: Internships: A Good Start, If You’re Proactive Internship opportunities at Galgotias University are available — but you have to take initiative. The university offers internship support mainly through: University Training & Placement Cell Department-level connections (specially in CSE/IT) MOUs with companies for summer training and industrial visits For CSE and allied branches, there are multiple short-term training programs in fields like web development, AI/ML, data science, and cybersecurity — often in collaboration with platforms like Internshala, Edureka, NPTEL, etc. However, if you want high-value internships (paid/stipend-based), you’ll need to build your resume and apply off-campus on sites like LinkedIn, Internshala, or through networking. The good part? Certificates earned from internship programs are considered during placements and internal assessments. Placements: Better for CSE & Allied Branches When it comes to placements, Galgotias performs well for CSE, AI, DS, and IT students. Here's the breakdown: Top recruiters include: Wipro, TCS, Capgemini, Cognizant, Infosys, HCL, Tech Mahindra, IBM, and a few product-based companies/startups. Average package: For CSE students: ?4–5 LPA For other branches: ?3–4 LPA Top package (off-campus/on-campus combined): ?12+ LPA (rare but possible) Placement Support: The CRC (Corporate Resource Centre) conducts mock interviews, resume building workshops, group discussion sessions, and aptitude training. This helps students prepare for technical and HR rounds during placements.
