 A Foreign Affair that Founded Symbiosis
The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. But, it is the first
step that involves deliberation and much hesitation. The Symbiosis
journey however began with a surge of enthusiasm spurred on by an
incident that, in itself, makes a poignant tale.
“It was an afternoon on a hot day. I was standing near the window of my
house overlooking the first hostel block, of which I was the rector. A
strange thing happened. A girl walked up to the window of the boys'
hostel room, quickly handed over something and disappeared. My
curiosity was aroused and I kept watching the girl walking up to the
window day after day and suspected, like any other rector would, that an
affair was afoot. So one day, I made up my mind and walked up to the door
and knocked. When the door opened, I saw a Mauritian student lying in
bed. His face was pale and his eyes seemed to have sunken low. I was
puzzled.” “When I turned to the boy for an explanation, he said, ' Sir, I have
an attack
of jaundice & I'm feeling extremely weak. I cannot stand up, nor walk a few
steps. A girl from my country brings me food. However, since ladies are
not allowed to enter the boys' hostel, she hands over the tiffin box
through the window.' I was stunned. After all, it wasn't the type of 'affair' I
had expected. I was very much pained & decided something had to be
done about this. That was the instance, the golden moment that
Symbiosis was born. “Symbiosis is a term in life science, meaning 'living
together of two different organisms, for the benefit of each other'. Dr.
Mujumdar, himself a professor of botany, thought this name apt for the
institution. Thus the institution was founded to alleviate the problems
faced by foreign students coming to India. At the time, these problems
included - accommodation, meals, medical care, guidance, coaching,
information about the city, etc.
Symbiosis has come a long way since then. Today it is home to students
from more than 80 different countries. These students are offered the
best learning resources, industry exposure, a strong international
students' alumni network, a global recognition, and above all, a truly
enriching Indian experience.

to be the cornerstone of the job readiness portfolio of our graduates. I do invite you to learn about the
successful track record of our alumni community, many members of which are leaders in their respective
areas.
With the strong foundation laid by the Founder and President of Symbiosis Dr. Mujumdar Sir and the efforts

Symbiosis Centre for International Education (SCIE)
The Symbiosis Centre for International Education
(SCIE) is an integral part of the University, providing
leadership and support to internationalize the campus
and the curricula. International students from over 85
countries pursue their undergraduate and postgraduate
studies at Symbiosis. Students and faculty are provided
with opportunities to pursue their international
academic interests to the fullest, be it through academic
exchanges, or exposure to international conferences,
seminars, workshops and other resources.
Internationalization at Symbiosis works on multiple
tracks, for which the Symbiosis Centre for International
Education has three departments:
• International Student Admissions & Student Events
• International Initiatives and Collaborations
• International Promotions and International Student
Relations
International Student Admissions & Student Events
International Students' Admissions: Admissions of
international students are centralized for all the
constituent institutes of Symbiosis International
(Deemed University) and routed through the SCIE. The
procedure for applying for admissions at SCIE is
designed taking into consideration the requirements
and difficulties faced by international students. The
online admission procedure has made it accessible to
each and every student to apply from different parts of
the world and in the comfort of their homes. The student
needs to come to India only when the applicant is
shortlisted for a particular program chosen by the
student. Software has been tailor-made to suit the
admission procedure. The admission procedure is
simplified in easy steps starting from the basic eligibility,
checking of important documents to be submitted until
the final payment, and confirming the admission.
Through the system of online admissions, students are
also able to make all their payments online and check the
admission status online.
021
International Student Events: Apart from all admission
related activities, SCIE organizes a variety of activities
where international students of Pune city are able to
meet on a common platform and display their many
talents. As a part of enriching students' international
experience, SCIE organizes the International Food
Festival, the Flag Hoisting Ceremony, NGO visits, Blood
Donation Camps, Tree Plantation ceremonies, Iftar
Pa r t y, C h r i s t m a s Pa r t y, D i w a l i Pa r t y, D a n c e
Competitions and Sports activities like football
tournaments and many more.
SCIE also organizes the International Students'
Convocation Ceremony. The convocation ceremony is
an important landmark in a student's life. It is normally
organized by universities in India during the month of
December. But since most foreign students have already
left India by this time, they are deprived of this wonderful
memory. SCIE aims to fulfil a students' dream of walking
down the aisle with a robe and cap by organizing the
International Students Convocation Ceremony.
SCIE is assisted in such activities by the International
Students' Council. The International Students' Council
is an elected body for the smooth functioning of the
activities and events of international students.
International Initiatives and Collaborations
At Symbiosis International (Deemed University), our
every endeavor is to look at ways to promote
international understanding through quality education.
The university believes that internationalisation imparts
broadened knowledge and understanding of other
nations, cultures, and global issues for students,
strengthens research and knowledge production, the
diversify of faculty and staff assists in bringing
innovative pedagogies and enhances the teaching
learning process. To achieve these objections the
university has international collaborations across the
globe and framed policies for encouraging student and
faculty mobility and designed programs for increasing
and ensuring sustainability.

overcome challenges big and small – that are related to
the institute and the University, as well as everyday
problems related to settling down in India.

students in a safe and secure learning environment, and
to protect the people, properties and processes that
support the University and its missions. However, the
establishment and maintenance of a community where

and regulations are necessary to mark the boundaries of
this needed order.
Article 2:

enrolled for a particular semester or term, but have a
continuing relationship with the University, or who have
been notified of their acceptance for admission are
considered as "students". The Code applies to all
locations of the University.
Article 3:
JURISDICTION: The Code applies to the on-campus

appreciation of the application of knowledge and skills to practice."
SIIB does exactly that and creates a context that is fertile for leadership.

· MBA – Agri Business

India ranks second worldwide in farm output. Agriculture and allied sectors like forestry and fishing which
accounts for 13.9% of the GDP continues to be the mainstay of the Indian economy. Food is the crowning need of
mankind and much emphasis is laid on commercializing agricultural production. Hence, adequate production and
even distribution of food has lately become a global concern.
Agriculture has long been seen as a sector with tremendous potential in India. In the last few years, the sector has
seen an unprecedented gain with several government and private sector initiatives. This, coupled with changing
global norms such as the WTO rulings and increased global competitiveness, invites a tremendous need for

professional courses in Agribusiness Management, and makes it one of the most challenging and exciting sectors
to be in, either as a professional or as an entrepreneur. The MBA-Agribusiness program is thus a response to this
growing need for professionals, who can contribute to, and engineer the agribusiness revolution. In fact, SIIB is
recognized as the best college for agriculture in India.
MBA-Agri Business program broadly covers Marketing, (emphasis on rural marketing and retail management)
Finance, (emphasis on micro finance, commodity trading and lending and risk management) Supply Chain
Management, (logistics in retail) and Taxation. It also details all the relevant and applicable fields of Agriculture
and WTO, Agri-export-import and Agricultural Finance.
Moreover, at SIIB, a student pursuing an MBA in Agri Business possesses a high level of decision making skills, and
can go out confidently into the demanding and dynamic world of Agri Business Management.
As they say the farmer works the soil, the manager works the produce.

· MBA – Energy and Environment

Energy, the essential resource behind every economic activity is intrinsically as well as extrinsically linked with
nature in satisfying the world's basic needs. The management of this relationship between the energy sector and
the ecological environment has become increasingly complex due to a paradigm shift in our perspective and
outlook. These are global issues and have found a prominent place in all recent global debates like climate change,
resource management, energy security, etc.
The MBA in Energy and Environment program is a niche domain that is currently offering a lot of opportunities
waiting to be tapped. As an Institute of International Business, SIIB believes that strengthening one's capacity and
building it in this emerging sector is critical. Therefore the Institute has taken this initiative to create young
professionals who can be an asset to organizations in this crucial area: professionals whose importance will grow
at an amazing pace in the years to come. Realizing the need of the moment the Institute launched this unique two
year full time residential program which focuses exclusively on the Energy and Environment sector, in the national
as well as global context and addresses the current needs of the industry.
The primary objective of this course is to equip aspiring global managers with managerial, economic, legal,
political and relevant technical competence. They will serve as experts who provide the crucial link between the
world of technology, business and sustainable development.
The program provides a judicious blend of theory and practice and prepares the students to meet the
contemporary global needs. The program has been designed in such a way that it imparts the knowledge of
general management and at the same time encompasses sectors namely power, renewable energy, energy
efficiency, oil and gas, climate change and sustainable development, green buildings, corporate sustainability,
global standards and environmental management.
A student pursuing his Master's in Business Management with Energy and Environment will be able to deal
effectively in energy audits, and offer solutions in energy conservation and management, sustainability
standards, renewable energy business and finance, etc.
A good manager knows that Conservation is a state of harmony

Orientation and Pedagogy:

Classroom Teaching
The spirit of Classroom teaching encompasses the fundamentals of theoretical and conceptual learning. It extends its
traditional boundaries into the world of interactive learning through case studies, assignments, quizzes and mock
presentations by the students..
Group Learning
The students are grouped into syndicates, which encourages a free exchange of ideas. We strongly believe that
syndicate learning is vital for creativity. This activity encourages students to understand group dynamics and then
perform in groups.
Dynamic Curriculum
The Course structure, academic curriculum and examination process is continuously upgraded. In order to address
the existing needs of the industry and in accordance with the academic portfolio, SITM has an Advisory Council
consisting of senior management professionals from Industry and Academicians.
Guest Lecture
Guest Lectures offer students a chance to interact with professionals not only from the IT and Telecom industry but
also from various other fields. Their inputs enable our students to get insights into the corporate world.
Simulations
Simulations are used in a few courses to get students overall exposure to various aspects of learning. The simulations
include telecom simulation, network simulation and business simulations.
 Lab Teaching
The lab is extensively used for a few courses such as network, analytics. SITM has an IBM Analytics Lab.
Workshops
The inputs from the speakers in the Guest Lectures are contributed by the industry leaders on a wide range of topics
involving managerial, technical and personality development which expands the horizon of knowledge. This process
yields the much needed inputs for adding a value proposition to the portfolio of a student at SITM.
Summer Projects
The Summer Internship at SITM is for a period of 8 to 9 weeks starting generally in the first week of April after
Second Semester. During the internship, students are required to be with the Industry on a full time basis. The
students prepare a detailed project report which describes the entire gamut of activities covered during their
internship with the industry as well as the skills that they acquire while working with them. This is an integral part of
the curriculum and the student is evaluated for the same.
At SITM we cater to majorly seven verticals.
Research Projects
To inspire thought and initiate in-depth study in various areas of business and technology, a research project is
allotted to each syndicate. This project is conducted over a 10-month period. The research project primarily relates
to telecom and IT. It involves studying the technical aspects along with the business issues and commercial viability.
The institute also shares these research projects with the industry.
Industry Projects
In a few cases, due to industry – institute collaborations students can undertake live projects under the mentorship
of faculty members.
Industrial Visit
The students are expected to visit industries in telecom sector as a part of learning process.

Orientation and Pedagogy:

At SSSS we help our students learn how to learn and to think critically about both content and process. For teaching
and learning to be relevant and effective, we focus on learning instead of teaching, on the process of learning rather

and critically examine existing practices within the sports industry. The methods include case studies, simulation
exercises, class room presentations, Group discussions, Seminars and experiential learning for developing real-
world skills such as critical thinking and analysis.
The curriculum is progressive and continuously evolving, and provides the structure for the provision of quality
learning. Comprises high quality, relevant and appropriate 'content' and contributes to the development of

Orientation and Pedagogy:

SIMC endeavors to create skilled and trained media professionals to suit the dynamism of the creative businesses
industry with its media communication courses. In order to garner a holistic perspective of the fast-changing trends
in the market, classroom sessions are aided by live case studies and opportunities to work on industry projects. The
students are encouraged to develop a research mindset under the guidance of experts who elaborate on research
and its advancements in specialized domains. Appreciating the vast reach of the virtual platform, the institute has
integrated digital courses across all four specializations namely Brand Communication, Public Relations, Media
Management and Marketing & Media Analytics. Thus SIMC's pedagogy is fourfold: theory, case studies, research and
practical applications.

At SIMC, we ensure that the learning is not limited to the classroom and to live up to the promise, we arrange for
visiting faculty and industry expert symposiums. One of the unique features of the pedagogy is, connect of the
curriculum with the industry where a large percentage of the sessions in a course are taught and the courses are
validated externally, which also involves activities that require students to move beyond their comfort zones.

Constant innovation and blended learning are our mantra which is fueled by the feedback, conducted at regular
intervals, for faculty and students.

SIMC, thus believes in engaged pedagogy that welcomes the students to contribute with their point of views in front
of the class. This process, not only brings to focus the various perspectives of several mindsets, but also makes
learning an informative as well as a transformative experience.

The assessment too, following the Bloom's taxonomy, is done in a way that makes sure that the students get to
understand their strong and weak points, so as to assure an improvement in their performance in the days to come.

All in all, with an experienced faculty pool and prominent media personalities as guest lecturers, the delivery of the
media communication courses are crisp and well defined that provides foundational and experiential knowledge of
the media industry.

 Orientation and Pedagogy:
Method of Instruction
M.Tech programmes have been designed to transform the students into competent professionals. The institute
employs a very effective and interactive teaching-learning process using most recent teaching aids including
multimedia. The curriculum has been developed considering the present and future needs of industry and higher
education. Teachers prepare detailed presentations, lab manuals and course files to ensure the effectiveness of
teaching-learning process. A salient feature of the curriculum is an Internship semester, totally devoted to carrying
out projects in the industry. Students of all post graduate programmes spend an entire semester in industry, other
organizations, renowned institutions and universities, both in India and abroad, as part of their curriculum. They are
encouraged to undertake projects in various areas of the industry to augment their theoretical learning. The
emphasis during the Internship is on exposing the students to real life problems in their chosen field of work and their
solutions, using a systematic and logical approach employing latest tools, techniques and technologies.
The Institute is making a conscious effort to shift from the traditional classroom teaching learning process to a
problem based, project-based and scenario based teaching learning process. Students are given projects or problem
statements right in the beginning of the semester and they undertake these projects either in groups or individually,
depending on the nature of the project, and are guided by the subject teacher. Large, inter-disciplinary projects are
also given and encouraged. For M. Tech courses, emphasis is given on the practical know-how and application of the
subject matter and special emphasis is given on problem solving and self-learning.

Learning Beyond Classrooms

Students participate in technical fests, present papers in conferences and also undertake projects in Industry during
internship to augment their classroom learning with learning outside the classrooms.

Industry Interface
It is necessary to give students an insight into the practical aspects of theory taught in the institute. The institute, right
from its inception, has ensured industrial participation in curriculum development, guest lectures by experts from
Industry, student trainings and internships. In addition to these, several industrial visits are also arranged for
students in order to give them an exposure on the practical solutions and industrial environment.

Research and Development

SIU started Ph.D. programme in Engineering from the academic year 2010-2011. Presently 90 research scholars are
pursuing their research from Faculty of Engineering. Research equipment and facilities have been established at SIT
to carry out high quality basic and applied research. Faculty members send proposals to funding agencies for
sponsored R&D projects in emerging areas of research. They also have a large number of publications in refereed
journals and are actively engaged in publications. M.Tech students also get an opportunity to work on some sub-areas
of larger research problems as their M.Tech projects and thesis. The institute regularly augments necessary
equipment and facilities in the identified research areas.
