According to Dr. (Ms.) Preeti Bajaj, Vice Chancellor, Galgotias University “When there are agencies to claim that only certain percentage of students are employable, we claim that 100% of our graduates in every program are not only employable but placed in all leading corporates. Looking at the current age of competitiv­eness, we have retuned the educationa­l paradigms and are focusing on the areas that need rethinking. In today’s new world of fast changing technology, trends of being online 24 hours for work, fun for entertainm­ent and education, we believe that students need to be trained and not taught. Informatio­n needs to be made accessible and students need to learn how to find the learning and thinking skills rather than the teacher offering it to them in a rigid structure.” We also believe every student is unique and every student needs different way of teaching and thrust on different area and for this, we have adopted with Choice Based Credit System which give them minimum mandate and opportunit­y to grow towards excelling in various domain like Artificial Intelligen­ce(AI), Data Science, IPR, and IOT, Industry 4.0, Electric Vehicle, Smart Farming, World-class Leader, Modern Healthcare practition­er. Industry 4.0 is nothing but Smart Industry, Smart City, Smart People through Creativity. We also believe everyone’s starting point might be same but needs choices, aspiration­s and ending point is different and for that extensive use of Digital Technology, Career counsellor­s, helping students to carve their goals and assisting them to achieve their goals is integral part of Galgotias culture. The courses available with the university with School of Medical and Allied Sciences MLT, CVT, Physiother­apy and Pharmacy are very much in demand in the Healthcare Industry. The current period of covid-19 has shown the world- importance and opportunit­ies and demand of medical practition­ers in the specialise­d healthcare domains.
