New Delhi: Galgotias University continued to face heavy backlash on social media on Thursday, after drawing criticism over full-page advertisements in leading Indian newspapers claiming global recognition.
Several netizens on X took fresh jibes at the university’s promotional campaigns, questioning its claims and mocking its branding.
In one post, a user shared an image of the university’s event and sarcastically asked, “Is it made by China, I mean by Galgotias University? Just asking.”
Another post by an author and columnist criticised the institution’s advertising, saying, “Galgotias, my friend! Getting such ads published after what you did at the AI summit requires an immense level of nerve. Hats off to the shamelessness!” Some users also cautioned prospective students against being influenced by promotional content.
