Meeting people at GLS University
Meeting people at GLS University, in Ahmedabad, starts with the campus's own social rhythm, not a generic checklist.
GLS University was formed in 2015 out of the nearly century-old Gujarat Law Society, founded in 1927 by Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, G.V. Mavlankar, and Kasturbhai Lalbhai to run Sir L.A. Shah Law College, the first law college in the state of Gujarat, a specific institutional lineage not shared by any other Ahmedabad private university.
What the campus is like socially
GLS University runs a broad, multi-department social calendar typical of a large Indian university, with societies, fests, and department-level events as the main social anchors.
