Priority
High (You cannot sit for exams without this).
Medium (Used for internal marks).
99% of "Invalid Password" errors happen because students are logging into LMS instead of iCloud. Use gu.icloudems.com → never gulms.galgotiasuniversity.org for attendance/fees/admit card.
How to Login to GU iCloud (2 Ways)
Method 1: The Standard Login
Use this if you have your Admission Email PDF handy.
User ID: Your Admission Number (Found on your ID Card).
Password: Check your admission email.
Insider Tip: If you lost the password, try the default format: Name@12345 (e.g., Rahul@12345) or GU@12345.
Method 2: The Keycloak / OTP Login (New for 2026)
Forgot your password and the admin isn't picking up? Use this self-service method.
On the login page, look for the button "Sign in with Keycloak" (usually below the main login box).
Enter your Registered Mobile Number.
Enter the OTP sent to your phone.
You will be logged in instantly without a password.
Dashboard Survival: The "Big 3" Features
1. Attendance (The 75% Trap)
The Rule: You need 75% aggregate attendance to be eligible for exams.
How to Check: Click "Attendance" → Select Current Semester.
The "Glitch": Faculty usually mark attendance in the evening.
Crucial Advice: If you were present but marked absent, contact your faculty the very next morning. They cannot change attendance records after 48 hours.
2. Admit Card (Your Exam Ticket)
The Rule: You must download and print 2 copies before every exam (Mid-term and End-term).
Why is my Admit Card Blocked?
Fees Pending: Check the "Fee" tab. Even a ₹100 due balance can block it.
Feedback Missing: You must fill the "Faculty Feedback Form" on the dashboard.
Low Attendance: You are on the detainment list.
3. Fees & Receipts
Pro Tip: Always download the Transaction Receipt immediately after paying. The portal sometimes takes 24 hours to update. If the security guard stops you at the gate during exam week, that physical receipt is your only proof.
Troubleshooting Common Errors
Error: "Invalid Login ID or Password"
Fix 1: Ensure Caps Lock is OFF.
Fix 2: Are you using your Enrollment Number? Stop. Use your Admission Number (e.g., 24SCSE101...).
Fix 3: Try the "Sign in with Keycloak" (OTP) method described above.
Error: "Page Not Loading" / White Screen
Fix: The site is notoriously unstable on Safari (iPhone) and Firefox. Use Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge on a laptop for the best results.
Error: "Admit Card Download Button Missing"
Fix: Look for a blinking notification bell or a popup about "Course Feedback." You must rate all your teachers before the system allows you to download the card.
For Parents: Monitoring Your Child
Parents do not need to ask their children for passwords. You can request a Parent Login from the Department Admin.
What Parents Can See: Daily attendance, exact time of entry/exit (if biometric is active), fee dues, and exam results.
What Parents Cannot See: Course materials or daily homework (LMS).
Quick Checklist for New Students
Login: Ensure you can access the portal within the first week of classes.
Update Profile: Check that your phone number and email are correct in the "Profile" section (crucial for OTPs).
Bookmark: Save the URL to your Chrome bookmarks bar.
Save Contact: Save your Department Admin's WhatsApp number (found on your department notice board). You will need them if your account gets locked.
FAQ
What is the default GU iCloud password? → Usually Name@12345 or GU@12345
Is GU iCloud down right now? → Check incurrtech.com/status (unofficial but accurate)
Can parents login to GU iCloud? → Yes, ask your department for Parent Portal access
Final Warning: During exam week, the server traffic spikes and the site slows down. Never wait until the morning of the exam to download your Admit Card. Do it 3 days in advance.
