Hi, I am Vanshi Ketan Pathak, a 4th year student at Ahmedabad University pursuing a BA (Honours) majoring in Social and Political Science.
I enjoy reading thriller/mystery novels, contemporary dancing, baking sweet treats, cafe-hopping with friends, and learning new things by taking up new challenges.
I chose Ahmedabad University because of its interdisciplinary approach, experienced faculty, and strong mentorship. The university offers innovative pedagogy, global exposure, and valuable research opportunities. I particularly liked the case-based learning, experiential projects, and emphasis on problem-solving, which allowed me to apply theoretical knowledge to real-world challenges.
The University has a number of partnerships with international universities that provide students with valuable immersion programmes. I had the opportunity to participate in a student immersion programme at Lingnan University, Hong Kong. This experience helped me understand different political and social issues and allowed me to explore new cultures and fields of study.
Beyond academics, the campus is always brimming with student-led clubs and societies that foster personal and professional growth. I am proud to be part of Guroor - The Q***r Collective, where we organize events and discussions to raise awareness and create a supportive environment for the LGBTQ+ community. Here, every voice is valued, and everyone finds their place.
