Centre Launch: Galgotias University, in collaboration with L&T EduTech, has inaugurated India’s first Advanced Electric Vehicle Centre of Excellence on its Greater Noida campus, providing an experiential learning environment with live electric mobility platforms.
Facility Components: The centre houses fully functional electric cars, electric two‑wheelers, live battery packs and modules, Battery Management Systems (BMS), EV powertrain technologies, charging infrastructure, controllers, motors, diagnostics platforms, and embedded mobility systems. It enables hands‑on work on EV architecture, battery technologies, charging systems, diagnostics, thermal management, embedded systems, drivetrain integration, power electronics, vehicle communication, and sustainable mobility engineering.
Educational Impact: The centre moves beyond simulation‑based labs, allowing students to directly engage with industry‑grade components used across the EV ecosystem, thereby strengthening industry readiness and creating a future‑ready talent pipeline for India’s rapidly expanding electric mobility and clean transportation sector.
Leadership Quote: Dr Dhruv Galgotia, Chief Executive Officer of Galgotias University, stated that the centre will give students direct exposure to live electric mobility platforms, battery technologies, diagnostics, and industry‑grade infrastructure that are defining the future of transportation globally, and emphasized the need for immersive, application‑oriented learning environments.
Partnership Recognition: Earlier in 2026, L&T EduTech recognized Galgotias University as a “Blue Chip Partner” during the L&T EduTech NEXUS 2026 event, acknowledging the university’s strong industry engagement and technology‑led learning ecosystem.
University Profile: Galgotias University serves over 50,000 students, has a global alumni network exceeding 100,000, and holds NAAC A+ accreditation. In QS World University Rankings 2026, it placed in the 1201‑1400 global band, ranked 15th among private universities and 43rd overall in India; in Times Higher Education Rankings 2026, it ranked 27th among private universities and 65th overall in India.
Placement Success: In 2026, students secured more than 5,100 job offers from over 1,250 recruiters.
Industry Partnerships: The university collaborates with leading firms such as Apple, Infosys, Intel, Cisco, Tata Technologies, L&T EduTech, Capgemini, and Salesforce, supporting interdisciplinary learning across engineering, AI, semiconductors, cybersecurity, immersive technologies, and high‑performance computing.
Strategic Importance: With India’s EV market experiencing accelerated growth in automotive manufacturing, battery innovation, charging infrastructure, and mobility services, the centre is expected to foster research, innovation, entrepreneurship, and high‑growth careers within the global electric mobility ecosystem.
