Abhik Basu:
I am studying Economics at University of Denison, USA.
“I’d like to think that that the most important asset that MGIS provided me with is a world-sensitive outlook. In the future, as I see myself move from place to place I think this is one thing that will help me no matter what I do. Besides that, it gave me a pot full of amazing, and fun memories as well!”
I am pursuing a B.Com degree in a college in Ahmedabad. (Isha topped her class)
“MGIS is an unforgettable experience of learning and acquiring knowledge through extraordinarily different yet fantastic ways of learning. It not only opened new doors but taught us how to glide through the journey of life by making us not only students but by making us composed, aware, sensitive, pensive and responsible human beings”
Abhijeet Buddisagar:
I am currently pursuing an undergraduate degree in Theatre Arts at the University Paris VIII - Vincennes St. Denis, France.
“I had a great opportunity to do theatre in MGIS, I chose it as an interest and soon it blossomed into a passion. MGIS gave me the space and encouragement to explore. Teachers motivated me to pursue what I enjoy and I am glad that I am doing what I like.”
Niyati Patel:
I am doing my B.A in English Literature from University of Warwick, UK
“Being an MGIS graduate has helped tremendously because I have all the analytical and critical thinking skills that one is expected to have in university. And university doesn’t teach these skills right from scratch. They just throw you into deep waters and expect you to find your way. Thats why, it has helped being an MGIS graduate. The essays, the project submissions…doesn’t seem as daunting as it would have had I not got the grooming I received here.”
Naiya Patel:
I’m studying Architecture in Ecole Supérieur Nationale d’Architecture, Paris-Belleville in France. (Naiya got a full scholarship from the French government for five years and is doing well academically)
“In the beginning I had to get used to the long lectures in French, the endless submissions, the difficult architecture terminology but with time I’ve found my balance. The bar is high but friends have been helping out so the transition is relatively easy. Being an MGISian, I had the confidence and the urge to overcome any difficulty that came in the way in order to achieve what I have been wanting to do since Grade 8.”
Meenakshi Makwana:
I’m doing my BBA and am working at the same time.
“I earn for my family and feel proud. I want to do an MBA and be hired in a good institution. In MGIS, I was on complete scholarship and during those seven years of schooling I’ve had the opportunity to develop qualities I had in me but were lying dormant. Working with people on project, having free access to computers, having a platform to express myself, earning a sponsored trip to France…all these together have expanded my horizons, my knowledge and have made me clearer about my goals in life.”
Malvika Bhagwat:
I’m doing my Bachelor of Fine Arts from FLAME, Pune. (Malvika came sixth in her university)
“Studying in University here feels like an extension of MGIS! We have projects, assignments, field trips, interviews and other activities which we have done as students of MGIS so it feels familiar and its easier for me to grasp difficult concepts faster.”
Danish Refai is doing Computer Engineering at Narsee Monjee Institute of Management Studies, Mumbai. He got through all the entrance exams he appeared for. Ishan Loya and Anouli Patel are doing their engineering from Canada, Sukruti Syal is pursuing a degree in Media Studies from University of Bordeaux, France. The list goes on. We feel happy for them and wish them all the best.
