The vibrancy of Gujarat extends much beyond life and culture to a wide range of industry sectors which have immense business potential. The school is situated in Ahmedabad which also happens to be the largest city of Gujarat. Ahmedabad is, beyond doubt, the commercial capital of the state of Gujarat.

The one-time “Manchester of the East” in its heydays; Ahmedabad is again at the pinnacle of development and has successfully achieved the “Mega City” status, which it truly deserves. Being ensconced in such a culture provides a strategic advantage to the School. Over the years, the school has fruitfully tried to develop a meaningful partnership with the local and national business community and considers this as its major strength.

The school has a well laid out campus located in the sprawling 260 acres main campus of Gujarat University. With its presence in the green belt of the city, the campus provides the right atmosphere for stimulated learning.

The computer center of the school is equipped with the latest IT infrastructure. The School also subscribes to online databases such as PROWESS. To facilitate teaching through audio-visual aids, the school has modern multimedia facilities equipped with latest audio and video projection systems.
