CHAIRMAN’S MESSAGE,
          Galgotias College of Engineering and Technology is now entering its eighth year. Three batches have already passed out and we are today, among the best education providers in the UPTU system. Our results are exemplary both from the point of view of pass percentage as well as from the placement perspective. Our students have found jobs in the best organizations of the country. Many students have gone abroad for higher studies. All in all, the last seven years have been a satisfying experience.

 
  "Our students have done us proud. Many of them secured top positions in the examinations conducted by the MMMM UP Technical University. I am grateful to the faculty, which ranks amongst the best, for synergising so brilliantly with our students. I wish them success in their future endeavors.

I invite all of you to join forces in creating professionals / technologists for the 'global village' wherein information-superhighway and technological - head - start determine the course of progress."

The College is sensitive to the forces of globalization and its effect on Indian education. The country today needs to develop engineers who know the best technology and can deploy it to produce the best products and services. We need engineers who can translate requirements into real functional systems.

We are constantly reviewing our teaching-leaning processes to make them modern and keep them up to date. Engineering students today should be well-rounded problem solvers who go beyond the confines of their functional units. Whereas carrying out one’s function is important, this function is to be seen in the larger context of the value addition that a corporation wishes to provide. Therefore, taking responsibility for and being a player in the total value addition process is of the essence. This makes our students highly employable in Indian industry.

Ultimately, responsibility for learning lies with the student. The best teacher, the best resources and infrastructure, the best atmosphere comes to naught if the student does not put in the effort to learn. Given the high rate of obsolescence of technology, the chance is that the technology taught to the engineering student in College shall not be used for long after the student passes out. Therefore the acquisition of basic principles and fundamental concepts is the only learning that remains. Thereafter, the student stays abreast of technology by on-the-job and life-long learning. We at Galgotias are driven by this underlying view of education. While providing good infrastructure, teaching resources, library and laboratory, we impress upon our students the importance of original thought and learning how to learn. We believe that much of our success is due to this.

Obviously, the key to good education is good faculty. We have a very rigorous faculty recruitment process. Faculty interviews are conducted by the best selection boards in the country. Invariably these boards have members from the IITs and other reputed Institutions in and around Delhi region. Only about 5-10% of the applicants are finally selected. This rigorous procedure brings in the best faculty in the UPTU system.

Galgotias provides an educational experience that is at once enriching, empowering and enlightening. The Galgotians can hold his/her head high in the community of engineers.
