Galgotias University Alumnus Joins the Indian Army, Commissioned as Lieutenant

Galgotias University alumnus Priyanshu Dixit commissioned as Lieutenant in the Indian Army

Priyanshu Dixit, an Ex Army Wing Cadet of the NCC (National Cadet Corps) Batch 2020, 40 UP BN NCC and a student at the School of Basic and Applied Sciences (SBAS), was widely respected among his peers and mentors for his strong sense of responsibility, discipline, and leadership. During his life at Galgotias University, he served as SUO (Senior Under Officer), the highest rank a cadet can hold in NCC. He was always a fitness enthusiast, fond of sports, and maintained a high level of physical fitness.

From the beginning of his educational life, he showed a strong interest in joining the Indian Army to serve the nation. Former Chief of the Indian Army, Field Marshal Sam Manekshaw, was his inspiration, and he always aspired to follow in his footsteps. His parents supported him in pursuing this dream.

His journey toward the Indian Army is a result of years of hard work, discipline, and commitment to a larger purpose. As an NCC cadet, Priyanshu actively participated in multiple camps, hard training exercises, and leadership initiatives. His dedication and hard work ultimately led to his selection and being commissioned as an officer in the Indian Army.

Galgotias University proudly congratulates its student, Lieutenant Priyanshu Dixit, and wishes him strength, honour, and success as he begins his service to the nation.
