The Thinking Quotient

It is often said that, Vision without action is merely a dream. Action without vision just passes the time. Vision with action can change the world!

The evolution and emergence of various societies have always showed us that clans or countries with an evolved ‘thought ecosystem’ is the fastest to develop and prosper. It should thus be the prime objective of all educational institutes to work on a student’s ‘Thinking Quotient’. This concept comes through in the patiently nurtured balanced ambience of Galgotias University.

While a thought process is innate to the human psyche, it requires a certain amount of intellectual nourishment to develop into a mature, rational and logical mind. The potent of today’s fast moving world of technology can only be harnessed by a mind that has the capacity and ability to understand the whole picture. At Galgotias, this is what forms the foundation of education.

More than eight decades of rich academic culture and educational leadership is at the helm of Galgotias’ alumni success. Revered faculty from IITs, Carnegie Mellon University, Purdue University and other fine academic institutions have brought to Galgotias a multi-dimensional pedagogy, multi-cultural spirit and an inspiration for the University infrastructure. The new age classrooms, hi tech laboratories and robust activity centres, all designed by Montreal-based Arcop International, are at par with the best in the world
