Why Garden City University?

The Management Trainee program aims at creating empowered managers with an inherent ability to lead confidently and enthusiastically both as individuals and as team players. A plethora of events unfold throughout the year at GCU and students from their inception manage the events until their conclusion, under the guidance of a faculty convener. Students from various streams are selected for the position of Management Trainee (MT) and are allotted important responsibilities. These MTs then build a team of students around them and handle the events. The students gain incredible first-hand knowledge during the process of conducting these events.

This concept was implemented to develop and improve “Practical Exposure Quotient (PEQ)” amongst both students and faculty and benefitting all stakeholders to exhibit better inter-team coordination amongst departments. ‘CREATE’ adds value to students in terms of soft skills and aligns them with our motto of Emphasis on Life. The ideation behind CREATE was, that every Department provides a faculty member and five students, in consultation with the programme convener, to contribute to an event conducted by the University. GCU builds its robust universe of education adapting the questioning module at all its levels. Every aspect is dealt with on the following principle –

“Forecasting, Connecting, Pursuing, Clarifying and Recounting”.

This principle instils in students a deeper sense of commitment both in terms of what they choose to study and in their potential careers.

With years of innovation and insight behind us, we strive to bring in radical changes in academic pedagogy, taking a cue from the ‘ARM Strategy’ introduced at Garden City College. ARM stands for – Ambition, Resources and Mentoring; where in, we help a student focus on their ambition, provide them adequate resources, and mentor them holistically so as help them achieve their goals.
We take our University Social Responsibility (USR) very seriously and make it mandatory for all stakeholders to respect the eco system where the University is built and notably give back to society. The entire campus is built with a green purpose integrating everything that is needed to preserve the ecology and reduce our carbon footprint.
The culture of education here at GCU is to foster positive emotions, build stronger relationships and achieve a sense of purpose, in line with our values and beliefs.
