SYMBIOSIS: A SAGA OF EXCELLENCE

Symbiosis is a family of 48 academic Institutions, imparting quality education for over 45 years. It is host to

over 34,000 Indian and International students on campus. These campuses epitomize the Symbiosis

vision, 'Promoting International Understanding through Quality Education' and are a beehive of

international students from all across the globe, being privy to Indian culture and hospitality. Prof. Dr. S B

Mujumdar established Symbiosis on the principles of Vedic thought of "World is One Family" and is

resplendent of the activities and students of several countries.

Symbiosis is a botanical term that means ‘living together for mutual benefit’. The visionary Dr. S. B.

Mujumdar founded Symbiosis in 1971 as an International Cultural and Educational Centre to provide a ‘home

away from home’ to foreign students who come to Pune in pursuit of higher education.

SYMBIOSIS TODAY

The genesis of the University stems from the Symbiosis Society, a 'Not for Profit' organisation. Its growth

reflects the dynamic changes in Indian society. It would not be far-fetched to claim that the history of the

University is intertwined with the history of Management education in India. Today, SIU is a clear leader in

management education with several of its management institutes ranked amongst the best in the country and

its alumni occupying leadership positions across the world.

With changes sweeping across India's higher education environment, SIU has established need based institutes

across the 7 faculties of Law, Management, Computer Studies, Health & Bio-medical Sciences, Media,

Communication & Design, Humanities & Social Sciences and Engineering. Symbiosis International (Deemed

University) continues to grow. Evolving by benchmarking itself against the best in the world. A student centric

philosophy leads to innovations in teaching and learning, student affairs, academic programs and health care.

Cutting edge technologies, smart classrooms and modern infrastructure positively impact the delivery of world

class education. Diversity in the classroom and faculty rooms, service learning projects, internships, and value

added activities, lead to a more holistic development of students.

The University bears in mind its objective that its ultimate aim is to participate in the task of inculcating

knowledge and hone skills which are vital to the young graduates and Postgraduates who passes out from the

University. The University has MOUs of collaboration with several renowned universities of the world and

encourages students & faculty to participate in its programmes. Symbiosis International University was given

"Deemed to be University" status by the Ministry of Human Resource Development in 2002. The University is

re-accredited by NAAC with Grade 'A' and CGPA of 3.58 on a four-point scale.

Home’. He soon realized that education is the best medium for promoting international understanding. He,

therefore, started establishing educational institutions imparting quality instruction in diverse disciplines e.g.

Management, Law, IT, Computers, Biomedical Science, Engineering, International Business, Geo-

Informatics, Media & Communication, Photography etc. Presently, Symbiosis has 48 institutions and about

34000 students from all States of India and 85 foreign counties. The Ministry of HRD, Government of India,

conferred upon Symbiosis in 2002 the status of ‘Deemed to be University’. Many of Symbiosis institutions are

ranked amongst the top 10 institutions in India and they have a placement record of almost 100%. Realizing

the importance of distance education, Symbiosis has established, SCDL - Symbiosis Centre for Distance

Learning - which conducts a number of online courses and has over 2 lakhs of students from India as well as

many foreign countries.

All Symbiosis institutions are generally need–based. These are run on and adhere to the best ethical practices.

The Faculty is selected purely on merits and without considerations of caste, creed, religion or region. One of

the unique institutions established by Symbiosis is SIMS – Symbiosis Institute of Management Studies (for

Defence Personnel and their dependents) - which provides management education exclusively for children of

Defence Personnel. Another innovative institution is the ‘Pune Police Public School’ managed by Symbiosis

and which provides education to the children of Police Personnel. Apart from these academic activities,

belongings and memorabilia of Dr.Ambedkar. It has also established an Afro - Asian Cultural Museum.

EXECUTIVE DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMMES @ SIBM, BENGALURU

Executive Development Programmes (EDPs) include a number of planned efforts to enhance an employee’s

abilities in various individual and team management techniques. Highly motivated and self-directed

individuals can gain a high degree of learning and other benefits for their organisations by seriously attending

EDPs.

SIBM, Bengaluru’s Management Education Programmes are designed to prepare executives at all levels

within their organizations to accept the challenges of new levels of leadership and thereby enhance their

careers as well as their productivity. We invite you to take this crucial next step in your career with us.

Though career success for fresh executives derives from specialization in a specific functional domain

(addressed through our Customized and Open Programmes), further advancement in careers requires a more

rigorous, multifunctional perspective (General Management Programmes and Advanced Management

Programmes). Without careful preparation, this is a risky phase for companies as they navigate the fast

changing business environment.
