Galgotias University faced backlash after ads claiming global recognition sparked online criticism. The outrage intensified following an India AI Summit incident where a robotic dog showcased as in-house innovation was identified as a Unitree Go2 product. Critics questioned transparency, damaging the institution’s credibility.
New Delhi: Galgotias University on Wednesday found itself at the centre of a social media storm after releasing full-page advertisements in leading Indian newspapers claiming global recognition.
The advertisements, which highlighted the university as "ranked globally" and "committed to making India proud", triggered a wave of online criticism, with users flooding platforms with memes and sarcastic remarks.
Many questioned the credibility of the claims, especially in light of a viral incident from the India AI summit that had already put the institution under scrutiny.
Social media users were quick to mock the campaign. One user joked that the "two top universities" were "WhatsApp University and Galgotia University".
