Galgotias University

Galgotias University's law programmes are taught to 1,282 students by a faculty of 77, and placed 36th in the NIRF Law rankings for 2025, scoring 53.33 out of 100. Its pharmacy department was ranked separately, at 55th in NIRF Pharmacy 2025 with a score of 50.66. The university, located in Gautam Budh Nagar, Uttar Pradesh, holds rankings in both fields, which is useful for anyone weighing law against pharmacy as an option here.

Placement figures for 2023-24 show law graduates doing better than pharmacy graduates in both reach and pay. Of the 5-year law UG batch, 185 of 198 students were placed, with a median salary of 6.4 LPA; the smaller 3-year UG batch placed 31 of 34 at 6.2 LPA. The 1-year law PG course placed 35 of 39 graduates at a median of 7.4 LPA, the highest figure across all the programmes listed. Pharmacy's PG batch placed 12 of 15 at 7.24 LPA, close behind, but its 4-year UG course placed only 31 of 83 graduates, at a median of 4.27 LPA.

Tracking these numbers back over three years shows placement rates holding fairly steady for law, while salaries have risen each year: the 5-year law UG median moved from 3 LPA in 2021-22 to 3.5 LPA in 2022-23 and 6.4 LPA in 2023-24, with placement counts also climbing from 71 of 84 to 185 of 198 graduates. Pharmacy's PG salary jumped more sharply, from 3.5 LPA in 2021-22 to 7.24 LPA in 2023-24, though its UG numbers stayed flatter, around 4.27 LPA across both 2022-23 and 2023-24.
