Rahul Gandhi, one of the prominent faces of Indian politics and the leader of the opposition in the Lok Sabha, often remains in the media headlines for his statements and tours. But do you know how strong was the educational background of Rahul Gandhi before entering politics? Rahul Gandhi’s degrees and his old corporate career, which started his studies from Delhi University and traveled to the world’s most prestigious institutions like Harvard and Cambridge University, can surprise anyone. Let us know the complete inside story of his education and that foreign job.
Starting from St. Stephen’s, Delhi and America’s stance due to security reasons
Rahul Gandhi’s early schooling was from the famous The Doon School in Dehradun. After this, for higher education, he took admission in the most prestigious St. Stephen’s College of Delhi University (DU) in the year 1989, where he started studying History. However, after the untimely assassination of his father Rajiv Gandhi in 1991, he had to leave his studies midway due to security reasons. Due to security concerns, he was sent to America’s famous Harvard University, but due to tight security and the compulsion to hide his name, he later took admission in Rollins College, Florida, from where he completed his Bachelor of Arts (BA) degree in the year 1994.
Master’s degree from Cambridge and studies by hiding real name
After completing graduation from Rollins College, Rahul Gandhi reached Trinity College of Cambridge University, one of the most renowned universities in the world. Due to extremely sensitive security protocols, he hid his real name and took admission in Cambridge under the pseudonym of ‘Raul Vinci’. Even the top officials of the university and the security agencies knew his real identity. From the same institute, Rahul Gandhi obtained M.Phil master’s degree in Development Studies in the year 1995, which shows his high educational qualification.
Before entering politics, worked in this corporate firm of London
Many people think that Rahul Gandhi came directly into politics, but the truth is that after completing his studies, he worked in the corporate world like a common professional. After leaving Cambridge, Rahul Gandhi moved to London and started working as a consultant in a renowned management consulting firm ‘Monitor Group’. He also worked in this company for a few years under the name of ‘Raul Vinci’ so that he could get corporate experience without any VIP treatment. After this, he returned to India in 2002 and started his own technology outsourcing firm in Mumbai, after which in 2004 he entered active politics by contesting elections from Amethi.
