To support this vision, GL Bajaj houses the state-of-the-art NVIDIA DGX A100 AI Supercomputing Lab, inaugurated by Dr. K. Sivan, the former Chairman of ISRO. GL Bajaj has also been a
top engineering institute in Greater Noida
and the first and only institute in North India to set up the Cybersecurity Lab in association with Palo Alto Networks, with the aim of integrating AI efficiently into the learning system.
The Institute recently inaugurated the CISCO Centre of Excellence at its campus, which aims to provide the students with industry-related training. These labs empower students and researchers to work with the same AI infrastructure used by top-tier AI research teams globally.
Empowering Innovation: AI in action
GL Bajaj
doesn't just teach AI — it lives it. Through its dedicated Incubation & Innovation Cell, the institute has successfully incubated over 102 student startups, many of which focus on AI-driven solutions.
These ventures are recognised nationally and have attracted international interest and collaboration.
The institution hosted the KAVACH 2023 Hackathon, a national initiative under the vision of Hon'ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, focused on cybersecurity and innovation. GL Bajaj was selected as one of the few host campuses across India, further validating its leadership in tech-driven academia.
Real-world achievements: Students making a global impact
GL Bajaj
students are not only learning in classrooms; they are building real, scalable, and globally relevant AI solutions.
A prime example is Garvit, a B.Tech student, who recently won an international hackathon featuring participants from over 10 countries, putting GL Bajaj on the world map of student innovation.
Additionally, GL Bajaj teams bagged top honours at the Bharat Shiksha Expo 2025, winning national accolades for innovation in education, digital transformation, and ethical AI applications. These achievements reflect the hands-on, impact-driven learning culture at GL Bajaj.
GL Bajaj students have developed standout projects poised for global impact. Few of them are the IWDP,the AI -AI-Interview, the Smart Meeting Attendance System and the Ethiscan. The project
IWDB (Intelligent Web Database)
uses AI with NLP and CNN to provide real-time content moderation, detecting harmful text and images via a browser extension linked to a Flask backend.
AI-Interview
is an interactive career coach that simulates real interviews, generating resume-based questions and providing detailed feedback on tone, clarity, and confidence through NLP and tone analysis. The
Smart Meeting Attendance System
leverages TensorFlow.js and ReactJS to enable in-browser facial recognition for secure, contactless attendance without compromising user privacy. Lastly,
EthiScan
fights unethical e-commerce practices by detecting over 14 types of Dark Patterns using LLMs and machine learning, offering a browser extension, mobile app, and analytics dashboard to promote transparent digital commerce.
The driving force: People and partnerships

'Forest Blizzard' vs 'Fancy Bear': Microsoft, Google, Crowdstrike hope to untangle weird hacker nicknames
Microsoft, CrowdStrike, Palo Alto and Alphabet's Google on Monday said they would create a public glossary of state-sponsored hacking groups and cybercriminals, in a bid to ease confusion over the menagerie of unofficial nicknames for them. Microsoft and CrowdStrike said they hoped to potentially bring other industry partners and the U.S. government into the effort to identify Who's Who in the murky world of digital espionage. "We do believe this will accelerate our collective response and collective defense against these threat actors," said Vasu Jakkal, corporate vice president, Microsoft Security.

Some names are dry and functional, like the "APT1" hacking group exposed by cybersecurity firm Mandiant or the "TA453" group tracked by Proofpoint.

Michael Sikorski, the chief technology officer for Palo Alto's threat intelligence unit, said the initiative was a "game-changer."
