Gujarat National Law University, Gandhinagar

One statute, two campuses, and a wide gap between them. Gujarat National Law University closed its general undergraduate seat at Gandhinagar at All India Rank 398 in CLAT 2026, while the same five-year degree at its Silvassa campus closed at 1513, and the admission brochure prices both at Rs 2,72,000 for the first year. What that fee buys, on the university's own return to the national ranking framework, is a 2023-24 graduating class in which 175 of 181 students were placed at a median of Rs 18,00,000.

The Act came first and the teaching came a year later. GNLU was created by the Gujarat National Law University Act, 2003, and its About Us page records that the university became functional in 2004, under a founding motto lifted from the Rig Veda, "Let all good and noble thoughts come to us from all directions", and alongside an acknowledgment of the villagers of Koba as traditional custodians of the land the campus stands on. The head of the institution is styled Director rather than Vice-Chancellor, and the 2026-27 admission brochure calls the place a research-based teaching university rather than a teaching one.

The name says Gujarat and the student roll says otherwise. On the NIRF 2025 data submission the five-year programmes held 1006 students, of whom 224 gave a Gujarat address and 781 came from outside the state. The one-year LL.M. splits the same way, 14 within the state against 52 outside. A single student in each programme came from outside the country. An applicant from Kerala or Assam weighing whether a state university will feel like a state university has the answer in that ratio.

Gender is near even, and it tilts the less usual way. The undergraduate block runs 516 men to 490 women and the postgraduate year 37 to 30, on that same filing, so men outnumber women in both, which is worth holding against the 30% horizontal reservation for women that the seat grid in the admission brochure then applies on top.

The second campus is the fact most rank predictors still miss. GNLU opened an additional campus at Silvassa in the Union Territory of Dadra and Nagar Haveli and Daman and Diu from the academic year 2023-24, with the support of the territory's administration and the Government of Gujarat, per the 2026-27 admission brochure, and it runs its own website at gnlus.ac.in. Its seats are allotted through the same CLAT counselling, but on a separate line of the Consortium's lists, and that separation is what lets the two campuses close at such different ranks.

Five separate integrated undergraduate degrees run at Gandhinagar, which is more than most national law universities offer and is the reason the faculty directory reaches well beyond law. The 2026-27 admission brochure lists B.A. LL.B. (Hons.), B.Com LL.B. (Hons.), B.Sc. LL.B. (Hons.), B.B.A. LL.B. (Hons.) and B.S.W. LL.B. (Hons.), all five years. Silvassa runs only the B.A. LL.B. (Hons.) at undergraduate level.

Those undergraduate figures are tentative rather than fixed, and the mechanism behind them changes how a preference form should be filled. The Consortium allots a candidate to the university, not to a degree, and GNLU then allocates the stream on merit-cum-preference after admission is complete, per that brochure. A candidate set on the B.Sc. LL.B. is competing for one of about 25 places inside an intake of 207, decided by rank within the admitted cohort rather than by anything done at counselling.

The four postgraduate specialisations at Gandhinagar are Corporate and Business Law, Constitutional and Administrative Law, Criminal and Security Law, and Intellectual Property Law, and one line in the brochure deserves a direct question to the admission office before anyone commits. Where fewer than ten students enrol in a specialisation, the university reserves the right to decide whether to offer it at all. Criminal and Security Law carries the second smallest tentative allocation at 12 places and Intellectual Property Law the smallest at 11, so those two are the ones to ask about.

The LL.M. year also carries duties that are not coursework, and they are unusual enough to plan around. Every student has to teach or observe ten undergraduate lectures in the chosen specialisation, present a substantive research paper at a national or international conference during the enrolment year, publish at least one article in a journal carrying an ISSN or ISBN, and complete a dissertation inside that specialisation in the second semester, per the LL.M. batch brochure. Packed into twelve months, that turns the box ticked on the counselling form into the subject of a publication, a conference paper and a dissertation all at once.

Beyond the degrees that CLAT decides, the Public Self Disclosure lists four taught diplomas admitted outside it: postgraduate diplomas in Biotechnology, Law and Policy, in Intellectual Property Rights, and in Medical Law, Policy and Ethics, plus a diploma in Ancient Indian Legal Theories and Philosophy. The programme menu on the About Us page adds a fifth, a postgraduate diploma course in Juvenile Justice, Child Rights and Child Protection. None of them appears in the CLAT brochure, so a candidate reading only the counselling documents never learns they exist.

One fee table covers both campuses, and GNLU publishes it head by head for the first year only.

Three things sit outside that total. Electricity in the halls of residence is charged separately on actual usage, the mess figure moves with whatever rate contract the caterer holds, and the whole structure is stated to apply to 2026-27 alone and to be revisable by the Finance Committee or the Executive Council, on the same brochure. No five-year total is published anywhere on the university's site, so multiplying the first year by five produces a number GNLU has never stood behind.

Supernumerary candidates are billed in two currencies and the rupee half is not the small half. An undergraduate admitted under the NRI, NRI-sponsored or Foreign National category pays Rs 1,40,000 plus tuition of USD 12,500 plus a one-time development charge of USD 2,000; the postgraduate equivalent is Rs 1,44,200 plus USD 6,000 plus USD 500, in that brochure. The dollar component must come from the sponsor's foreign account and the brochure says plainly that it will not be accepted from an Indian bank account under any circumstances.

CLAT decides every taught seat at both campuses, and then GNLU runs a second admission process of its own that has nothing to do with the Consortium. Reading only the first half is how a candidate with a foreign passport, an NRI sponsor or a rank outside the cut-offs concludes too early that there is no route in.

The Consortium half is standard. Five provisional allotment rounds ran in the 2026 cycle across four separate GNLU lines, one each for the Gandhinagar undergraduate and postgraduate programmes and one each for Silvassa, and a candidate's preference order among those four is what decides which campus they are offered.

The university half is where the unusual categories live. GNLU fills its supernumerary seats itself against notifications published on its admissions page, taking expressions of interest through its own form and ranking applicants purely on CLAT All India Rank, per the 2026-27 admission brochure.

Two of those rows skip the entrance test. Candidates holding foreign citizenship apply straight to the university against its own notification without sitting CLAT, and SAARC candidates for the LL.M. are exempted on the same terms, on that brochure. Foreign National seats left unfilled are converted into the NRI and NRI-sponsored pool rather than released into the general queue. One warning in the same document is worth copying down: the admission category marked on the CLAT form cannot be changed afterwards under any circumstances.

The post-counselling vacancy rounds are the clearest measure of how tightly Gandhinagar fills, because at undergraduate level every published round in 2026 was for a single seat. The 10 August notification advertised one general seat carrying the Gujarat domicile horizontal reservation; before it came one Other Backward Class seat with the women's horizontal reservation on 6 July, one general seat on 10 July and one Economically Weaker Section seat on 21 July. The one-year LL.M. left a little more room: its first vacancy round on 17 July carried two Other Backward Class seats and one Economically Weaker Section seat. Every round charges a non-refundable application fee payable only through the university's own expression-of-interest link, and an application that arrives without its documents or its fee is rejected rather than queried.

That August round is a useful measure of how deep the reach goes after counselling ends. The merit list of 19 August 2026 named one candidate at All India CLAT Rank 4155 for that single general Gujarat-domicile seat, and required Rs 2,58,000 to be paid within four days to block it. Miss the payment window and the seat passes to the next candidate on merit, which in a one-seat round means it is simply gone.

A helpful feature of the vacancy notifications is that they roll forward. An application filed against one notification is carried into any later vacancy that arises in the same category, with no need to reapply, per the August notification. Applying to the first round of the season is therefore worth more than the odds on that round alone suggest.

The doctorate is the one degree here that CLAT never touches. GNLU sets its own paper, the GNLU PhD Admission Test or GPAT, and the PhD programme page archives its results year by year from 2019 to 2025 along with the waitlists that followed them, the schedule for the research proposal presentation that comes after the paper, the 2026-27 admission notification and the university's PhD Regulations of 2016. Dr. Bindu Vijay is the PhD Coordinator and gnluphd@gnlu.ac.in is the address on that page.

GNLU is unusual in having four separate CLAT queues rather than one, and the numbers below come from the Cut-Off Rank Table printed at the foot of each of them. Start with the Gandhinagar undergraduate grid, and read the first and fifth lists together, because the movement between them is small and that smallness is itself the finding.

Four rounds of churn barely shifted the general line, which drifted from 376 on the first list to 398 on the fifth. Candidates who take a seat here are not holding it as a placeholder while they wait for something better, so a rank sitting outside the first list should be planned against rather than hoped through the later rounds.

The women's quota never had to be applied at all. Where a closing rank would normally sit in the women's row, both lists print the Consortium's mark for a horizontal reservation already satisfied by candidates arriving through the vertical categories on merit, so not one Gandhinagar seat was set aside for it in either round.

Now the postgraduate grid, which runs on a different paper and therefore on its own rank scale. Every one of its closing ranks is a smaller number than its undergraduate counterpart, but the CLAT postgraduate paper draws a far smaller field, so the two columns cannot be read against each other as though they measured the same competition.

Now the campus that changes the arithmetic. Silvassa is the same university, the same degree and the same fee, and its queues run far deeper.

A rank that falls between the two general figures in that table reaches GNLU either way; what it does not settle is which GNLU, and the preference order on the counselling form is what decides that. The postgraduate line behaves the same way: the Silvassa general queue closed at All India Rank 1566 on its fifth list against 352 at Gandhinagar on the Gandhinagar postgraduate fifth list.

Silvassa also runs four separate territorial queues that Gandhinagar has no equivalent for. The Silvassa undergraduate fifth list prints a general queue for Dadra and Nagar Haveli and Daman and Diu closing at 31242, an Other Backward Class one at 57798, a Scheduled Caste one at 42193 and a Scheduled Tribe one at 42425. For a family resident in that Union Territory, those four rows matter more than any national ranking does.

Almost nobody in the 2023-24 cohort is unaccounted for. GNLU's ranking return shows 175 of 181 on-time graduates placed, and the six who were not are recorded as going on to further study.

That pattern holds down every row of the table: in each of the six cohorts, the placed count and the higher-studies count add up exactly to the number who graduated on time, on that submission. Nobody is left in the gap that a filing of this kind usually leaves. Treat it as a filing tidy enough to notice rather than as proof that no graduate ever went unplaced, because a ranking return is the university's own count and the categories in it are broad.

The mix inside those totals moved sharply and in one direction. In 2021-22, 61 of the 177 who finished went to further study and 116 were placed; two years later 6 went to further study and 175 were placed, while the median rose from Rs 15,40,000 to Rs 18,00,000. Read alongside the intake rows on the same filing, which record 191 students admitted in 2019-20, the entry year for a five-year degree finishing in 2023-24, this is a cohort that mostly arrived, mostly finished on time and mostly went to work.

The postgraduate year does not follow the undergraduate one. Of 67 who completed the LL.M. in 2023-24, 43 were placed at a median of Rs 6,20,000 and 24 went on to further study, a weaker placement share than the 52 of 63 recorded the year before. An applicant choosing the one-year LL.M. should read the LL.M. rows on their own and not borrow the confidence the undergraduate rows earn.

No recruiter is named anywhere in what GNLU publishes. The batch brochures on its recruitment page are written to employers rather than about them: the LL.M. one opens with the Director welcoming prospective recruiters, runs through the curriculum and the grading scale, and closes on profiles of the batch, with no list of firms anywhere in it. Since the site also carries no offer count, no highest package and no batch-wise placement report, any headline number circulating under this university's name was assembled somewhere other than here.

What is documented is the machinery, down to who runs it. Recruitment goes through the Committee on Recruitment Affairs and the Internship and Placement Section on a rolling basis, structured into pre-placement talks, pre-interview screening, interviews and final placements, and it keeps assisting students after they graduate, per the recruitment page. Recruiter approaches are split across three inboxes, recruitments@gnlu.ac.in for the law degrees, llmrecruitments@gnlu.ac.in for the LL.M. and mbarecruitments@gnlu.ac.in, with Dr. Nidhi Buch named as Head of the Internship and Placement Division.

Internships here are a five-year ladder rather than a free-for-all, and the sequence is prescribed. The internship page assigns first-year students to non-governmental organisations, second-year students to trial courts, tribunals and other lower courts, and third, fourth and fifth-year students to High Courts, the Supreme Court, law firms and corporate houses. A student who wants a firm internship in the second year is asking for something the programme deliberately schedules later.

The reservation design at Gandhinagar is the thing most often misread about this university, and it is not the fifty-fifty home-state split that state-founded law schools are assumed to run. Only 25% of seats carry a Gujarat domicile claim, and that quarter is horizontal: it is taken out of the vertical categories, not bolted on beside them.

Horizontal means the 40 domicile places are carved out of the vertical categories rather than added to them, non-compartmentalised across all of them except the Economically Weaker Section quota, per that brochure. In practice a Gujarat candidate is first ranked in whichever vertical category they belong to and only then measured against the domicile requirement, which is why the Consortium prints a single Gujarat Domicile row on its cut-off table rather than one row per category.

Silvassa applies the same idea to a different territory and does it the opposite way round.

The domicile reservation at Silvassa is compartmentalised across the vertically reserved categories, where the Gujarat one at Gandhinagar is not, on the same brochure. That single word is why the Consortium's Silvassa list prints four separate territorial queues with four separate closing ranks while the Gandhinagar list prints one. A candidate from the Union Territory competes only against others in their own category; a Gujarat candidate at Gandhinagar competes against every other domicile claimant regardless of category.

Adding the supernumerary seats to the vertical grid is what produces the intake a Gandhinagar applicant is actually joining: 176 places allotted by the CLAT office and 207 in total across the five undergraduate degrees, per the programme-wise allocation in that brochure. The postgraduate equivalent is 57 allotted by CLAT against 68 in total. Sanctioned intake for the five-year programmes has been steady at 204 for both 2023-24 and 2022-23 and stood at 209 in 2021-22, on the NIRF 2025 data submission, which also records the one-year LL.M. sanctioned at 67.

Across four editions of the law table GNLU sat at seventh or eighth while its score climbed, then broke into the top five when the climb finally told.

Research did most of the lifting. That column stood at 27.63 on the 2022 table and reached 51.45 on the 2025 one, close to doubling while every other parameter improved by a much smaller margin. Graduation outcomes moved from 69.51 to 84.29 over the same four editions, which is the ranking framework registering the placement shift described above.

Perception is the one parameter NIRF collects by asking rather than by counting, and it is also the one that has gone nowhere here. It reads 52.78 in 2022, 52.72 in 2023, 47.25 in 2024 and 52.47 in 2025, finishing fractionally below where it began while every other column on the row rose. A flat opinion score under rising measured ones means the reputation has not caught up with the record, and for an applicant that cuts both ways: the teaching and the outcomes are better than the name carries, and a first job is often won on the name.

The admission brochure also carries a row of non-government rankings, and they belong in the university's own voice rather than in a verified column. The 2026-27 admission brochure states that the Gujarat State Institutional Rating Framework has given GNLU a Five Star status in the law category with the highest CGPA, that Outlook placed it fourth among law institutes in 2024, and that both The Week-Hansa Research Survey and India Today ranked it third in their 2025 law college lists. Each of those is a separate methodology and none of them is the Ministry of Education's.

There are no law departments here in the conventional sense. The academic structure is built instead from named centres of excellence, and the list on the centres page shows where the university has chosen to plant itself: air and space law under the V.S. Mani Centre, banking and financial laws, corporate and insolvency law, intellectual property rights, trade and competition law, law and economics, law and technology, constitutional and administrative law, criminal justice sciences, disability studies, women and child rights, labour studies and advocacy, alternative dispute resolution, legal history and philosophy, law and society, public and private international law, business and public policy, empirical and applied research in law, and healthcare ethics and policy. Three more mark out ground most law schools leave alone: foreign policy and security studies, sports and entertainment law, and environment, sustainability and climate justice.

Twelve endowed research programmes sit alongside them, and the list of who funds them is the part that separates GNLU from most law schools in the country. The same page names a Microsoft chair on intellectual property law and policy, a Khaitan and Co chair on mergers and acquisitions, a Cyril Amarchand Mangaldas chair on everyday ethics for the legal profession, a Gujarat Maritime Board chair in maritime laws and practices, fellowships funded by ONGC on international contracts, by GUVNL on energy law, and by SJVN on hydropower and environment law, plus programmes with the Ministry of Earth Sciences, GUJCOST, GIFT SEZ Limited and the Navinchandra Desai Law Foundation.

Those names explain a set of numbers that would otherwise look strange. On the NIRF 2025 data submission the university ran 47 consultancy projects for 47 client organisations in 2023-24, receiving Rs 5,00,54,796, against 15 sponsored research projects from 11 funding agencies worth Rs 2,42,14,250. Consultancy income here exceeds sponsored research income, and in 2022-23 it did so by a wider margin still, at Rs 8,23,58,064 from 55 projects. A law school funded this way by industry and government bodies offers a different kind of research apprenticeship from one funded by grants, and it is a fair question to put to a prospective supervisor: which chair pays for the work, and what does the client expect from it.

Spending on academic events moves in the same direction. The university recorded Rs 3,22,59,166 on seminars, conferences and workshops in 2023-24 on that filing, against total staff salaries of Rs 19,23,27,788, which is a high ratio of event spending to payroll for a law school and consistent with a campus that hosts a great deal.

The library is open until midnight and that alone changes how the academic day works here. The library page gives its hours as 09:00 to 24:00 from Monday to Saturday and 10:00 to 18:00 on Sundays and public holidays, across four floors with seating for 300 readers at a time. Its holdings run to more than 40,651 volumes of books and law reports and 266 print and online journals, and the collection deliberately covers management, sociology, science and technology, history, economics and English literature alongside law, because five integrated degrees are taught here rather than one.

The buying has risen in each of the last three filed years, from Rs 1,26,15,841 of library capital expenditure in 2021-22 to Rs 1,37,26,649 and then Rs 1,85,16,330 in 2023-24, on the NIRF 2025 data submission. Three consecutive increases, the last of them roughly a third above the year before, describe a collection being topped up continuously rather than restocked in occasional bursts.

The health centre keeps two fixed sittings a day and refers anything larger off campus. Its health facilities page describes a physician and a staff nurse, with the doctor available from 12:00 to 13:00 and again from 16:00 to 18:00 and reachable on a mobile number in an emergency, and it names memoranda of understanding with Apollo Hospital and KD Hospital for what the centre cannot treat. Out of hours, the page sends students to the wardens.

The sports roster runs to twelve disciplines, swimming among them. The sports facilities page lists cricket, badminton, football, table tennis, basketball, kabaddi, throwball, athletics, skating, chess, swimming and tennis, organised through a committee that dates from 2008 and devolves each sport to its own student club head under a faculty convenor. Its inter-batch calendar has names of its own, the Stepover Cup, Volleymania, Super Sixes, Blacktop and a Cyclathon, and the sports festival runs as Justice League, staged over 23 to 26 February in its 2023 edition.

Wheelchair access is where this university tells you least. Its library, health and sports pages describe what is in each building and never how a wheelchair gets into one, so the only answer on record is the tick-box in the ranking form, where GNLU reports lifts or ramps and specially designed toilets in a band of more than 80% of buildings and answers yes on walking aids and inter-building transport, on that same filing. A band is not a list, and with 8 undergraduate and 3 postgraduate places a year on the disability quota at Gandhinagar the unanswered part matters: which buildings fall outside it, and is the library one of them. Ask the Registrar's office to name them before accepting a seat.

Residence is priced into the same annual sheet as tuition and it is not optional in the way an outside room would be. Halls of residence cost Rs 24,000 a year and the mess Rs 42,000 for an undergraduate or Rs 46,200 for a postgraduate, with electricity billed separately on actual usage, per the 2026-27 admission brochure. The brochure also notes that the residence facility is not provided during the vacation period, which matters to anyone whose home is a long journey away.

Hostel administration sits under the Dean of Students' Welfare rather than under a separate warden's office, and the hostel administration page describes one office carrying housing, financial aid, healthcare, sports, student dues, cultural activities and counselling at once. The Chief Warden signs that page as Dr. Mahesh Chaudhary, Assistant Professor of Management, so the person running residential life is a teaching member of staff, and in management rather than in law.

One rule on that page will surprise applicants who expect a law campus to be informal. Mondays carry a dress code: white shirt, black trousers that are not jeans, black formal shoes, with black shoes or black sandals specified for women and no flip-flops or casuals that day, and slippers and floaters are called out as prohibited in the administrative and academic blocks. The same page sets out the GNLU Student Mentorship Programme, run by the Students Welfare and Grievance Redressal Committee to pair students with more experienced student mentors and designed to work alongside the faculty mentorship scheme rather than replace it, with published guidelines and separate mentor and mentee application forms.

The teaching establishment is large for a law school and deliberately not all lawyers. The NIRF 2025 data submission records 72 faculty members entered against a roll of 1006 undergraduates and 67 postgraduates, and the faculty directory sorts its names into four groups rather than one: Law, Arts, Commerce and Management, and Science and Technology. The B.Sc. LL.B. and the B.S.W. LL.B. cannot be taught by a law faculty alone, and GNLU staffs for that rather than outsourcing it, with named posts in economics, political science, management, science and technology, social work, history, English, commerce and sociology.

Doctoral supervision is where the arithmetic gets heavy. The same filing counts 32 full-time and 90 part-time research scholars pursuing doctorates, which is a large body of candidates set against 72 faculty of all ranks. The awards column swings hard from year to year: the full-time stream produced 5 doctorates in 2023-24 after none at all in either of the two years before it, while the part-time stream awarded 8 against 4 in each of those years.

Before applying, put the supervision load to the person who would carry it, because the numbers above frame the question without answering it: how many candidates that supervisor holds right now, and which of the endowed chairs, if any, funds work in the field wanted. The PhD programme page also documents the Gujarat government's SHODH fellowship scheme, which is a separate source of doctoral support from the university's own.

A university two decades old has produced enough graduates to fill a distinguished-alumni page, and GNLU has not written one. It runs a separate alumni portal at alumni.gnlu.ac.in, which the Public Self Disclosure lists as the official alumni association, and it routes graduate queries to helpdesk@gnlu.ac.in on its contact page. Neither that portal nor the main site publishes a list of graduates and what became of them.

So this page names none. A career attached to a face on a coaching site is not evidence, and a name nobody can trace back to the university is worth nothing to somebody choosing a five-year degree. The portal is still the right door, and the question to take through it is not who the famous graduates are but what a recent batch actually split into, between litigation, firm practice, judicial services preparation and policy work.

There is no single news feed here, and the Public Self Disclosure is the map to the three places the university does publish: an announcements page for news, recent events and achievements, a separate circulars and notices section for administrative instructions, and the GNLU Times newsletters on a page of their own.

What sits on the announcements page at any moment is a fair picture of what the endowed centres actually do. In one recent stretch it carried a three-day GST skill development programme with Lakshmikumaran and Sridharan Attorneys, run by the GNLU Forum for Tax Laws under the Centre for Banking and Financial Laws and priced separately for GNLU students, outside students and professionals; a second edition of a White Collar Crimes course; an advertisement for a DPIIT intellectual property chair under the SPRIHA scheme; and a call for applications on a project on access to justice for undertrial prisoners. A prospective researcher can read that list as a live index of which chairs are funded and working.

For an applicant the busiest and most useful of these is the admissions page, which archives every vacancy notification, merit list, supernumerary notification and circular for the current cycle in date order. It is where the 2026-27 vacancy sequence described earlier can be followed round by round, and it is updated during the admission season faster than anything else on the site.

Only two institutions from Gujarat appear anywhere in the NIRF 2025 law table, and one of them sits near the top while the other sits in the bottom quarter. GNLU holds rank 5 on 76.23 and Nirma University, Ahmedabad rank 33 on 53.70, on the 2025 law ranking. For a Gujarat-domicile candidate that is the whole state field on the national table, and the domicile reservation that helps at GNLU has no equivalent second address inside the state to fall back on.

Against the four institutions above it, GNLU's profile has a distinctive shape that the rank alone hides.

GNLU records the highest outreach and inclusivity score of the five at 73.90 and the lowest perception score at 52.47, on that table. Outreach and inclusivity is built from regional and gender diversity, from students of economically or socially disadvantaged backgrounds and from facilities for students with disabilities, which fits a roll of 1006 undergraduates carrying 781 from outside the home state on the NIRF 2025 data submission. Perception is built from opinion. A candidate who expects to be judged by employers on the school's name should weigh the second column; one who cares about who they will study alongside should weigh the first.

The choice a GNLU applicant actually has to make, though, is between two lines on the same counselling form. Gandhinagar and Silvassa award the same degree at the same fee, and the Gandhinagar fifth list closed its general queue at 398 where the Silvassa fifth list closed at 1513. Work out which of the two a given rank realistically reaches before ranking preferences, and treat them as two decisions rather than one.

The campus is in the Knowledge Corridor at Koba on the Gandhinagar side of the Ahmedabad corridor, and the two campuses keep entirely separate admission desks.

Admission queries have exactly one accepted address. The vacancy notifications state that GNLU takes them at admission@gnlu.ac.in only and will not entertain anything received by other means, per the August 2026 vacancy notification. Silvassa runs its own desk and its own address, so a query about that campus sent to Gandhinagar is a query in the wrong queue.
