About GLS University
GLS grads don't need hand-holding on day one.
They land in our offices already familiar with how Ahmedabad's commercial engines actually run. The university's curriculum skips abstract theory in favor of projects tied to local retail, manufacturing, and legal consultancies. Having hired from their IT and business departments, we find their recruits have a practical edge—they understand cash flow, client deadlines, and regional market realities.

How to Apply
For professional post-graduate courses like the MBA and MCA, admission is managed through Gujarat’s centralized Admission Committee for Professional Courses (ACPC) portal based on national or state entrance test scores. For undergraduate business, computer application, and design degrees, applicants register directly on the GLS central portal, after which the university conducts its own merit-based counseling rounds and design aptitude tests (DAT) to allocate seats. You will need to track the ACPC seat allotment cycles or the internal GLS merit list releases online, as physical counseling schedules require direct attendance at the Ellisbridge campus once your merit rank is called.
