History

Early Phase The origins of SGT University trace back to the establishment of the Dashmesh Educational Charitable Trust in 1999.The trust was created with the objective of promoting higher and technical education in the National Capital Region of India.

In 2002, the trust established the SGT Dental College, Hospital and Research Institute, which became the foundation of its educational activities. This institution marked the beginning of a broader initiative to develop professional education infrastructure, particularly in healthcare and allied sciences.

Expansion Following the establishment of the dental college, the trust progressively expanded its academic footprint by setting up additional institutions across various disciplines. During the 2000s, new colleges and institutes were introduced in areas such as physiotherapy, nursing, and other health sciences.

This phase of development reflected a gradual transition from a single-institution model to a multi-disciplinary educational group, commonly referred to as the SGT Group of Institutions. The expansion was characterized by the addition of infrastructure, faculty, and academic programs, enabling the group to cater to a growing number of students across different fields of study.

Establishment as a university In 2013, the SGT Group of Institutions was granted university status under the Haryana Private Universities (Amendment) Act No. 8 of 2013. This legislative act formally established SGT University as a private university in the state of Haryana.Directorate of Higher Education, Haryana

The university provides more than 200 undergraduate, postgraduate, and doctoral programmes spanning fields such as medical and health sciences, engineering, management, law, and other disciplines. It continues to operate under the aegis of the Dashmesh Educational Charitable Trust.
