The Khelo India University Games 2025, a multi-sport event taking place across Rajasthan, reached a high point of competition on Day 10. This event features over 5000 athletes from more than 200 universities, all fighting for their institution's pride. For many days, Guru Nanak Dev University (GNDU) from Amritsar had been the dominant force, sitting comfortably at the top of the medal table.
They earned a good number of gold medals early in the Games through strong performances in events such as swimming, track and field, and fencing. GNDU's commanding lead made them appear unbeatable as the tournament entered its final stages. However, the format of the Games means that a single successful day in major sports can completely change the rankings, making every day's results vital for the overall championship title.
This major shift happened on Day 10 with a stunning performance by Chandigarh University. As the defending champions from the last edition of the Khelo India University Games, Chandigarh University demonstrated exactly why they hold that title.
Their athletes found incredible success in a range of events, including a powerful display in Canoe & Kayaking and Table Tennis. This massive surge in gold medal wins allowed Chandigarh University to rapidly catch up to the pole position. The official medal tally has confirmed that Chandigarh University had earned enough gold medals to finally take the number one spot, pushing Guru Nanak Dev University down to second place.
