Gati Shakti Vishwavidyalaya is situated in -

Concept — India's sector-specific central universities are created by an Act of Parliament under a line ministry rather than under the Ministry of Education, and such a university is normally raised on the campus of the older institute it replaces. To place one of them, trace its parent ministry and the institute that was upgraded, instead of guessing from a state's size or reputation.

Application — Gati Shakti Vishwavidyalaya (GSV) is the transport-sector central university sponsored by the Ministry of Railways. It began in 2018 as the National Rail and Transportation Institute (NRTI), a deemed-to-be university set up on the Railways’ campus at Vadodara, and the Central Universities (Amendment) Act, 2022 converted NRTI into Gati Shakti Vishwavidyalaya on that same Vadodara campus. Vadodara is a city of Gujarat, so the university is situated in Gujarat.

Cross-check — The name points the same way: the university carries the name of the PM Gati Shakti National Master Plan for multimodal connectivity, and it teaches railways, aviation, maritime, highways and logistics from the Railways’ existing transport-education campus in Vadodara. The other states offered host well-known railway establishments of their own, but the Gati Shakti Vishwavidyalaya campus is in none of them:

• Maharashtra — Central Railway is headquartered at Mumbai and the Indian Railways Institute of Civil Engineering works from Pune.

• Rajasthan — North Western Railway is headquartered at Jaipur.

• Tamil Nadu — the Integral Coach Factory works from Perambur, Chennai, under Southern Railway.

• The “Question not attempted” choice is the RPSC answer-sheet marker for a deliberate non-attempt; it names no state.

Hence Gati Shakti Vishwavidyalaya is situated in Gujarat.
