Meeting people at GLS University

Last updated: July 2026

Meeting people at GLS University, in Ahmedabad, starts with the campus's own social rhythm, not a generic checklist.

Area:Ellisbridge / CG Road area, Ahmedabad
Founded:2015
Size:large, multi-institution network
Affiliation:Private University (Gujarat Private Universities Amendment Act, 2015)

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.

How to find your people here

At GLS University, joining a department society or a campus-wide club in your first weeks is the fastest way to build a real circle.
