In fact, in response to the huge market demand for relevant manpower, Galgotias University launched five new trail-blazing B.Tech programs in Computer Science Engineering, in collaboration with IBM which has been the natural industry partner of choice, given its dominant global position in each of these domains.
"Working closely with industry, we ensure that our students internalise thinking processes and universal analytical skills, leading to a high level of knowledge creation. We work to ensure that deserving students achieve the highest skillsets to equip them to assume leadership roles in society and industry." Says Suneel Galgotia, Chancellor, Galgotias University.
Using entrepreneurship education as a background for the teaching of academic subjects gives those studies a grounding in the real world. One of such institution in India is Galgotias University that follows the mantra 'create job providers rather than job seekers'. It uses the industry-guidance mantra intensively through various models of university-industry partnership such as accreditations, MoU arrangements and academic alliances.
Galgotias University has a well established Entrepreneurship Development Cell (EDC). The cell is also working with the National Entrepreneurship Network (NEN) of Wadwani Foundation. The major objective of this EDC is to enhance and encourage the entrepreneurial spirit among the young students, and hence creating more job providers rather than job seekers.
The Galgotias University was feted at the awards by Shri Narendra Modi, for differentiating itself from other universities in terms of its global-level academics and international pedagogy.
"We have launched the Galgotias Engineering Entrance Examination (GEEE 2015) which ensures that thousands of students who join the Galgotia family are selected after a rigorous process and we ensure that they get placed in amongst the top companies in the country" says Dhruv Galgotia, CEO of Galgotia Education Group.
