Galgotias University students are developing applications that address societal issues like women's health, autism screening, retail, and interview preparation, gaining recognition from Apple. These applications, conceived as passion projects rather than assignments, include Sakhi - a menstrual health companion, AutiCare - an early autism screening tool, ToyVista - an augmented reality platform for shoppers, and PrepLoop - an interview preparation simulator powered by AI.
The students, many of whom are first-generation college attendees, have learned Swift and Xcode directly through coursework, moving from coding to shipping fully functional apps. The university's iOS Student Developer Program has seen a significant increase in Apple Swift Student Challenge wins, from 10 in 2025 to 18 in 2026. Dr. Dhruv Galgotia, the university's CEO, expresses pride in his students' work, acknowledging their innovation and determination to create technology solutions for real-world problems.
The university's success in this area also enhances students' job prospects, offering them a portfolio of original software and connections to industry partners. Galgotias University is highlighted on Apple's website as an example of successful student developer programs at higher education institutions.
