Galgotias University has received the “Excellence in Industry-Aligned Curriculum and Employability” award at the 36th Elets World Education Summit 2026, recognising its efforts to align academic programmes with industry requirements and enhance graduate employability.
The award was presented by Dr. Rabindra Narayan Behera, Member of Parliament (Lok Sabha) and member of the IIT Council, among other parliamentary and government committees.
The recognition follows the university’s recent honour at the Times Now Education Summit 2026, where it received the “Excellence in Industry-Aligned Curriculum & Student Entrepreneurship Ecosystem” award. That award was presented by Union Minister Dr. Mansukh Mandaviya.
Galgotias University integrates industry expertise into its curriculum through collaborations with organisations including Accenture LearnVantage, IBM, L&T EduTech, Tata Technologies, Microsoft and byteXL.
