 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 85 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.

Message by Chancellor

I extend a warm welcome to all of you as you join the Symbiosis family.
The University is part of the larger Symbiosis family, which is built on
the core ideals of Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam - the world is one family.

You will find a wealth of opportunities as you begin your journey

of higher education, which is about academics, of course, but also
a lot more. It is our goal that we succeed in shaping our students
to be responsible members of the global citizenry. Symbiosis is
appreciative of the enormous responsibility that befalls higher
education institutions. I encourage you to avail of all the wonderful
teaching-learning and research possibilities that are offered. We, at
Symbiosis, believe that play belongs to education as much as studies;
therefore, we offer a whole range of first-rate choices that contribute
to personal capacity building, such as those in career enhancement,
extracurricular activities and recreational facilities.

You will find wonderful prospects to share this journey with students
from over eighty-five countries and from all over India. We also pride
on having with us an amazing pool of talent in our teaching staff,
many of whom are noted academics, with substantial international
experience. All in all, the educational experience at Symbiosis is
designed to be wholesome and one that is authentically international.
I hope that your experience at Symbiosis will afford you the
opportunities to apply your talents and inspirations to the best use.

May God bless you!

 Message by Pro Chancellor

Symbiosis upholds its motto “Vasudhaiva Kutumbakkam” the

world is one family in all its pursuits. The diverse backgrounds of
the students who come here from 85 countries from all across the
world, contribute to an international environment. The wide milieu
of ideas that are brought to the table through the interactions and
collaborations among students both inside and outside the classroom
are contributive in enhancing the students’ intellectual acuity.

The classrooms at the Symbiosis campus encourage an innovative and

futuristic approach for management, academia and the administrative
staff. As one of the largest Universities in India, Symbiosis has strong
global linkages and an educational portfolio that boasts of excellent
infrastructure, well-equipped classrooms, accommodation and an
environment that assists students in realising their potential while
embracing diversity. The eclectic environment here enables students
to think critically and emerge as responsible citizens with high moral
values, ethics and good social conduct.

We aim to create globally valued graduates and have framed policies

and procedures to expose students and faculty to international,
intercultural and comparative aspects. This is ensured by encouraging
student mobility on exchange and summer schools to international
partners. The interdisciplinary studies allow students to choose from
across multiple disciplines thus broadening their perspective and
helping them gain knowledge of various domains, which makes them
more adaptable to a global environment.

The Programmes offered at Symbiosis are innovative and designed

according to the needs of the industry, thus creating the needed
academia-industry interface. The Incubation Centre at Symbiosis has
been created with the aim of supporting and nurturing the innovative
spirit of the students and developing their entrepreneurial abilities.

On behalf of the University, I welcome you to the Symbiosis family!

I wish you success in the Programme that you have chosen to study
with us.

Orientation and Pedagogy:

SIBM Pune conducts its Orientation Programme in a novel way. The very first day of the programme is made special
for the students. After the ceremonial address by the Director, the students are divided into teams of twenty. Each
team is handed over to a team of two faculty members. The faculty members take their teams of twenty students
through a series of interesting ice-breaking sessions and team building exercises for the rest of the day. The day
ends with a group task for the next day. On the second day, teams of twenty have to perform on stage. The stage
performance is divided into parts. One is a purely academic part.

Second part is a cultural performance which may include singing, dance, mimickery etc. Next two days are generally
devoted to outbound activities leading to development of team building and problem solving skills. The last two days
are generally devoted to experience sharing sessions by corporate executives as well as entrepreneurs, preferably
from the alumni pool.

Pedagogy at SIBM Pune is a mix of many methodologies. Apart from the usual chalk-n-talk, there is a conscious
effort to make the sessions interactive by using case studies and references of latest developments in the relevant
field. In addition, students are encouraged to undertake multiple projects to hone their research and analytical
skills. Latest tools and techniques like Business Simulations are used wherever possible. Ample amount of guest
lectures are organized by inviting leading corporate executives, especially from the alumni pool. In fact, SIBM Pune
has consistently received Awards for excellent industry interaction. Students are also encouraged to write success
stories of illustrious alumni, which the college publishes in the form of books. Field visits are also a regular feature.

Orientation and Pedagogy:

“The great aim of education is not knowledge but action.”
- Herbert Spencer
The pedagogy at SCMHRD is a concoction of learning techniques that prepare the students for real-world
challenges. Classroom lectures at SCMHRD are never a monologue but always a discussion as the students are
encouraged to question the common practices and come up with innovative solutions. They are made aware of the
different verticals of many industries through Guest Lectures where they get a chance to learn and interact with
leaders from various corporate fields. This helps in broadening their perspective and gives them a glimpse of what
the corporate world holds for them.
SCMHRD follows a unique way to help its students get acquainted with their batch mates by organizing an
outbound learning programme at Surya Shibir every year. A lot of team-building exercises are conducted in order to
 remind them that the first order of action is working together, before working to win. The long and challenging trek
followed by a chill-out session where the students sing and dance out their entire tiredness are a few cherishable
highlights of the outbound exercise.
On the very first day, as part of the induction programme, students have a session with the Director and heads
of various departments who walk them through what SCMHRD has in store for them. Students are also briefed
about the importance of gender sensitization in the development of an individual. The initiative of conducting
this discussion has definitely proven to be a great start to the journey of the students towards becoming inclusive
leaders in the future.
Language is not only a medium of communication but also a channel to build relationships and nurture friendships.
“Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam”, which means “The world is one family” is entirely true in the post-globalization era. This
intensifies the need for future business leaders to be well-versed in at least one foreign language. At SCMHRD,
students are given an opportunity to learn foreign languages, thereby preparing them to be world-class leaders.

 Orientation and Pedagogy:
 Dynamic Curriculum:
The program structure and courses, academic curriculum and examination process is continuously upgraded. In
order to address the existing needs of the industry and in accordance with the eclectic nature of our academic
portfolio, program review committee (advisory council) is formed and they share their input every year. SIDTM
(Formerly SITM) while designing its curriculum considers these inputs and subsequently discusses it in the
Board of studies. The Board involves intelligentsia from varied backgrounds and specializations. The curriculum
is delivered with the help of various teaching methodologies. The curriculum is focused on technology
management perspective.
 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 – peer learning is vital for creativity. This activity encourages students to understand group
dynamics and then perform in groups. The methodology helps students to improve their communication skills
and harness team spirit.
 Guest Lectures:
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.
 Workshops:
The institute conducts workshops on various topics to sensitise students on the latest trends in the industry.
This process yields the much-needed inputs for adding a value proposition to the portfolio of a student at SIDTM
(Formerly SITM).
 Seminar:
SIDTM (Formerly SITM) arranges International Telecom Seminar where we invite industry experts and eminent
persons who talk about current technologies, the techno-managerial perspective of telecom business and
its environment. The speakers come from various industries including international speakers. It is a valuable
addition to students. It brings on a neutral platform, for visionaries from across the global ICT industry to discuss
and explore the various current global telecom trends.

The creative Quotient with ideas worth spreading

 Simulations and Lab Sessions:

SIDTM (Formerly SITM) is using simulations for effective learning. We have network simulation, marketing
simulation, and business simulations. Students learn the concepts with the help of simulations. Apart from
simulations, students use the lab for various databases, analytics, and other courses.
 Industrial Visits:
The institute gives special importance to understanding the practical aspects of technology. As a result,
Industrial visits are organized. These industrial visits are instrumental in enabling the students to have a practical
understanding of telecom and it also encourages interaction between students and the industry.
 Summer Projects :
The students also undergo two months of rigorous summer training in the industry. Upon completion of the
project, reports have to be submitted to the faculty, and presentations are made to the batch. The reports are
evaluated according to a host of parameters by teams of eminent professionals and academia. Students are
selected from the campus through a summer recruitment process.
 Research Projects:
To inspire thought and initiate the 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 techno commercial aspects of the ICT industry. The management, alumni, and industry experts
decide the topics of the projects. It involves studying the technical aspects along with the business issues and
commercial viability. The institute also shares these research projects with the industry.

Institute Profile:
Ever since its inception in 2008, Symbiosis Institute of Business Management, Bengaluru has been striving to
achieve excellence in imparting Management Education. The Institute believes that the demand from the corporate
is for “techno managers” who embrace technology and analytics while excelling in their domain areas. The dynamic
curriculum and rigorous academic practices at SIBM Bengaluru incorporate this industry expectation into a
teaching-learning process.
Management education is expected to provide the skills, knowledge and experience to make sound decisions in
a complex and ever-changing business environment. SIBM Bengaluru envisions a Management Education with a
“Quantitative Difference” by focusing on data analytics across all programmes. At SIBM, Bengaluru the decision-
making skills of the students are enhanced with the use of Harvard case studies and articles. Technology has
been further integrated into the curriculum with an all-encompassing learning management system and flipped
classroom model. Data driven decision making skills are imparted by including training on software applications like
R,Python,Tableau,Power BI and SPSS. The Institute hosts a diverse set of databases like Bloomberg, CMIE Prowess
etc to facilitate access to financial and economic data for robust analysis.
Management Education provided at SIBM Bengaluru is based on the SEAT (Sustainability, Ethics, Analytics and
Technology) philosophy. Through this philosophy we aim to create managers who not only excel in areas of analytics
and the underlying technology, but at the same time are conscious of both ethical issues and sustainability needs of
the planet.
We have a proprietary model called “SC-IE-NCE” that forms the basis of curriculum development. We combine the
Student Competence (SC) with Industry Expectations (IE) and arrive at New Courses or Enhancements (NCE).
 Our curriculum goes through two levels of scrutiny – one through our own internal Board of Studies comprising of
Industry Experts, Faculty and Alumni and another through the Board of Studies of the University.
The Institute firmly maintains that learning goes beyond the classroom and organises regular student-industry
interaction through guest sessions and corporate events. Industry interface is further strengthened by live projects
and Summer Internship Programmes(SIP). Continuous and close interaction between Academia and industry has
intensified the trend of getting SIBM-B students industry ready. Incorporation of industry feedback into curriculum
and teaching learning process help us in successfully bridging the gap between industry expectations and graduate
outcomes. The dividend for successful integration of industry expectations has been paid off in the form of diversified
placement profiles and better packages.
Vibrant student committees and clubs complement the programme by providing a platform for the students to
nurture their leadership skills. Apart from training the students to acquire the knowledge and skills to excel in their
professional lives, the institute also focusses on developing the right values and attitudes among the students
through various social responsibility activities.
Erudite and accomplished faculty members at SIBM Bengaluru spearhead the process of transforming students
into techno managers. Our faculty team consists of a unique blend of professionals with rich industry experience
and research accomplishments. They hail from top B-Schools in the country including IIMs, ISB etc.

• Master of Business Administration (Quantitative Finance) [MBA (QF)]
MBA in Quantitative Finance (MBA QF) is an offspring of the ‘Quant Revolution’ led by Mr. Jim Simons that
disrupted the financial markets in 1980s. The revolution was brought about when a group of scientists started
applying techniques such as stochastic calculus and probability theory, once reserved for advanced scientific
research, into the area of option pricing & financial modelling and found a way to beat Wall-Street emphatically.
This led to the genesis of Quantitative Finance – a field that combines Finance & Advanced Math & Stats like
never before. The financial markets generate a vast volume of data on a daily basis. Due to this, quantitative skills
have become more important for executives to understand the models and to make right predictions. At SIBM-B,
huge emphasis is placed on the usage of real-time data to make the learning holistic. The right technological
infrastructure is in place and is equipped with multiple Bloomberg Terminals with 24/7 access, online databases
like EBSCO, Emerald, Jstor, CMIE Prowess etc. to facilitate the same. There is also a Data Lab with platforms like
R, SPSS, Tableau & Python for incisive data analysis.
• Master of Business Administration (Business Analytics) [MBA (BA)]
The big data and data analytics industry will be a multi-billion industry by 2023.In 2017 itself, a McKinsey report
stated that a shortage of millions of data and business analysts is keeping the modern business enterprise
machine away from peak performance. With the tsunami of data generated on a daily basis, executives have to
incorporate IT skills into their arsenal to take well informed decisions. The MBA programme in Business Analytics
(MBA BA) at SIBM Bengaluru, empowers managers to take data driven decisions and steer the business in a
successful direction. Business management and analytics is an unbeatable combination that has made modern
enterprises more competitive and has streamlined their decision making. An MBA(BA) graduate will develop
expertise in several data analytics tools to derive insights to solve a myriad of business problems. This requires
end to end knowledge of platforms like R, Python, SPSS Tableau, – all of which are present at the data lab at SIBM
B. The institute also boasts of Bloomberg terminals and online research databases like EBSCO, Emerald, Jstor,
and Prowess.

 Orientation and Pedagogy:

• Learning Methodology
SCIT strives to make a paradigm shift from exam orientation to knowledge orientation. SCIT believes in the
practice of consolidation wherein the core elements of academic rigor and academic discipline are closely knitted
by research, student orientation, brand-building, corporate interface and process automation. To realize this
shift SCIT has taken several steps on curricula review and development, student and faculty orientation. Faculty
members are oriented towards creating evaluation methodologies from concept-building through application
development and not necessarily just elaboration on theory. SCIT emphasizes that academics should trigger
research and research should drive academics.
At SCIT a semester pattern, that is, 2 terms per academic year is followed. At the beginning of the term, the
syllabus along with the names of reference books, authors and the evaluation policy is communicated to the
students. No text books are prescribed as students are expected to explore and learn by referring to books,
implementing concepts in the labs and collecting references from the Internet, analysing and problem solving
through case studies etc. SCIT also has a digital library with a spectrum of e-books and magazines. SCIT’s
evaluation policy has external as well as internal evaluation. The internal evaluation is carried out continually
and consists of any combination of several components such as projects, lab tests, presentations, whitepapers
etc. The main objective here is to evaluate learning.

• Internships

Internship in the industry is an integral part of the 2-year academic programmes at SCIT. It provides excellent
opportunities for SCIT students to get a first-hand experience of business realities. Before working as interns,
SCIT students work on pilot projects, a replica of what happens in the industry. This enables them to make
a quick start in learning from the “LIVE” environment during an internship project, a new perspective that a
classroom cannot generate. In the past, most of the SCIT students have worked with reputed companies and
have contributed significantly; some have even travelled abroad for live projects.

• Projects

Collaborative Projects
SCIT makes a conscious effort in tracking technology advancements and transformations that businesses are
going through. The students as well as the faculty of SCIT undertake various industry projects as well as R & D
projects that cover this area of study.

272
 273

In year 2007 and 2008 SCIT students have carried out successfully a project “AMDEST” A Metrics Driven
Enterprise Software Tool. AMDEST is built around the idea that enterprise software development can be guided
by the use of simple, intuitive metrics that help understand the effects of changing requirements, offer insights
into how responsibilities are delegated to software components etc.
Twelve students from Software Solutions Management specialization worked in two batches with the doctoral
student of Florida State University to complete this research project. The project mainly focused on analysing
the impact of change in requirements on software already built.

• Research and Development Projects

Research orientation is an important part of learning at SCIT. Students need to register and work on a
dissertation. SCIT presently works in these broader areas of research.

• Multi-faceted Learning

At SCIT we believe in the new realization that exams are only a purpose of learning and true learning is actually
a journey to explore knowledge. SCIT looks at postgraduate education with a view to create ‘learnability’ in
a student that stays with him life-long and does not wither with a degree in hand. SCIT lays importance on a
student’s all-round development with a focus on academics as well in all its residential programmes. The holistic
programmes build strength and create a framework to enjoy life as professionals and as individuals. Self-
exploration through programmes such as ‘Moral Re-Armament Camp (MRA)’ is encouraged.

• SCIT’s Power Triangle

At SCIT, students undergo a transformation into empowered proactive professionals through a three-fold
learning process: gaining experiential knowledge of technology and practices, mental and physical well-being
through a holistic health programme and industry practices. SCIT offers residential and off-campus programmes
as well as corporate training programmes.

• RITS University Collaboration

Ritsumeikan University and SCIT - SIU have agreed to collaborate in:
▪ Academic and research collaboration in areas of mutual interest.
▪ Exchange of academic information, scholarly information, material and publications.
▪ Exchange of students and faculty. Joint seminars, workshops and other academic meetings.

Dr. Nayana Nimkar

Director

Director Profile:
Dr. Nayana Nimkar is currently the Director at Symbiosis School of Sports Sciences at Symbiosis International
University Pune. She holds a Doctorate in Physical Education from Mumbai University and has previously worked
as a PhD Guide with Savitribai Phule University of Pune (SPPU). She holds three master’s degrees from Pune
University in (M.Ed.) Education, (M.Ed.) Physical Education and (M.Phil.) Education. She has also completed 5 credits
from Springfield University Massachusetts, in USA (1981) in ‘Psychology of Sports’ (under the MS Sports Program).
She has represented the state in several sports at various reputable levels in her earlier times. She has worked on
several National committees like the Steering committee for Sports of the 11th and 12th Planning Commission of
Government of India, she has also worked for NAAC (National Assessment and Accreditation Council) and NCTE
(National Council for Teacher Education) as a peer committee member. She has represented India on professional
bodies like ACESS (Asian Council for exercise and Sports Science) and NAPESS (National Association for Physical
Education and Sport Sciences). She has been a keynote speaker in several conferences and has several publications
to her credit.
Her academic and administrative experience is of 38 years, which started with Maharashtriya Mandal’s
Chandrasekhar Agashe College in Pune, which she headed for 20+ years. She also held prestigious positions as
Director, Board of College and University Development (SPPU) and as founder HOD of the Department of Physical
Education (SPPU) where she was awarded the Best Principal’s award.
When asked about the source of her energy and enthusiasm, she says “…making fitness and physical education a
part of the routine of a common man is my real source of inspiration and my relentless drive towards excellence”.
This is so much in consonance with the ‘Fit India Movement’, which was launched a couple of years back by our Prime
Minister. The urge to contribute to the field of sports, be it sports management, sports science, sports technology
or making sports available for the not so privileged is what drives Dr. Nayana Nimkar to run the Symbiosis School of
Sports Sciences with the ultimate zeal and definitive purpose.

Institute Profile:
Symbiosis has embarked into a niche area, that of Sports Sciences by establishing the Symbiosis School of Sports
Sciences (SSSS) in 2016. SSSS offers a two years full-time MBA programme in Sports Management, the options
being specialization in Sports Marketing, Event Management (Sports) and Sports Technology. The objective of
Symbiosis School of Sports Sciences is to impart skills and knowledge to create future managers, leaders and
entrepreneurs in the Sports Industry. Till date it has already created a force of managers and leaders ready to
take on leading positions in the sporting industry and many of them are making their way wonderfully through this
upcoming industry.
 The main reasons for so many success stories of students from SSSS within such short span of time are the multitude
of unique activities conducted by SSSS which are the key differentiators between SSSS and other education
institutions, which include the following -
 SSSS Sports Science Conference: This has been conducted every year since the inception of the institute, the
main objective of which is to provide a platform for students to interact with the stalwarts of the sports industry,
exposure to recent scientific research and developments and a solid networking platform for students, faculties
and management of the institute.
 Global Immersion Program: SSSS has collaborated with premier global sports management institutes to provide
a global exposure to SSSS students in the field of sports through education and peer interaction. Developed
countries are ahead of the Indian curve in the field of sports and this global exposure creates a certain level of
awareness of best global practices in the sports industry to the budding managers at SSSS.
 World Football Summit, Spain: SSSS has in the past facilitated their students to attend the World Football
Summit held in Spain to not only give a true fan moment to the football follower but also help them provide a
glimpse at the economics behind the operation of such a global summit, to explore new sports ventures and
startups, the sporting culture and the consumer behaviour of a hardcore sporting fan of a developed nation like
Spain.
 Collaboration with Global Sports Wearable Technology Provider: SSSS has tied up with the topmost
technology provider of sports wearable technology which provides a real-time generation of player performance
data to the analysts, who can then understand the effectiveness of data-based decisions-making instead of
traditional/biased methods.
 Prestigious Internships: SSSS has been able to provide its students work-experience in the form of internships
at the best places in the sports industry like Khelo India, Sports Authority of India, Under-19 FIFA World Cup,
Sports Interactive et al to learn and enhance their practical knowledge and provide them insights into the
qualities and skill sets required in addition to the knowledge to be an effective contributor to the sports world.
 Social Responsibility Initiatives: Sports in India is still at a nascent stage and a lot of grassroot development
initiatives are required to bring to surface the talent in the country. Many times in the past such talent has come
to the forefront from the humble backgrounds of small villages. SSSS understands the importance and potential
of this and thus encourages its students to conduct projects in nearby villages to help and create awareness
about sports and also provide sporting facilities for encouraging local talent to greater heights.
 Other initiatives: Apart from the above SSSS also conducts Sporting Events at University level, Mock Auctions
and Business Plan Competitions to prepare the students not just for sports but in general develop an all-round
management perspective and personality of the students over a period of two years, to take on the top-most
jobs or even to be smart, tech-savvy and dynamic entrepreneurs for the coming times.
 Internationalization: SSSS promotes sharing of academic and research best practices through interactions
with the diverse education systems. The school conducts Master Classes by Leeds Beckett University which
is the leading University in the field of Sport in UK. The exchange of ideas and knowledge acquisition help the
students develop into global citizens.

318
 319

 Industry Connect: SSSS regularly conducts sessions by the stalwarts in the sports industry who share their
experiences on the global sports ecosystem, discuss new opportunities and innovations that are improving data
collection, fan experience, and athletic performance and training. Apart from this, SSSS also invites alumni to
interact with the students and share their learnings in the industry.

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
than its product. Further, we include relevant industry experience, and involve participation in the practices of the
community of sport management.
Industry immersed faculty expose students to contemporary issues in sport management and allows them to debate
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, it comprises of high quality, relevant and appropriate
‘content’ and contributes to the development of competence if the students.

studies. The students are constantly encouraged to engage themselves in industry projects.
The institute attempts to keep pace with the times through an evolving programme structure. The courses and
the content therein are constantly updated to ensure contemporariness. This is done through a regular system
of feedback from internal as well as industry stakeholders and mentors. The syllabus now includes courses in
upcoming platforms, the latest technologies and innovations, and their relation with the business of media and
communications. The now, almost ubiquitous, digital is embedded in almost every course across the specializations
viz., Brand Communication, Public Relations, Media Management, and Marketing & Media Analytics.
The dynamics of the industry and evolving job descriptions have encouraged SIMC to offer a host of common
courses to all students spanning the various facets of the business. Additionally, from the batch of 2021-23, the
specializations are being offered as major and minor to broaden the scope of learning for students and enable them
to become well-rounded professionals.
For a more holistic grounding, students are encouraged to develop a research mindset under the guidance of
experts who elaborate on research and its advancements in specialized domains.
Senior industry professionals and SIMC’s alumni form a key part of SIMC’s pedagogy. They are involved not only
in feedback and up-gradation of the course, but also take courses, mentor students and share their knowledge
through seminars and symposia.
All in all, with an experienced faculty pool, rich infrastructure and industry interaction, the delivery of the media
communication courses is crisp and well defined providing a foundational and experiential knowledge of the media

PREPARATION OF MERIT LIST & ALLOTMENT OF SPECIALISATION FOR SLS PUNE:

Steps for preparation of merit list/s:
Step 1: Generic Merit List:
Process of preparation of first merit list:
Preparation of consolidated/generic merit list: A consolidated/generic merit list will be prepared as per the
AIAT score and total intake for open and other reserved categories.
 Hypothetical Example : If there are a total 50 seats for the open category, the institute will add around 20%
to 30% extra i.e. 50+13=63 and prepare the consolidated/generic merit list of 63 candidates from the open
category. These 63 candidates will be selected based upon their AIAT score irrespective of their preferred
specialization.
Step 2: Allocation of specialization: -
Allotment of the specialization to the candidates selected in consolidated/generic merit list:
The candidate, who is selected in the consolidated/generic merit list, will be allotted a particular specialisation
depending on:
(a) The marks scored in AIAT;
(b) The preferences of specialisations provided by the candidate while filling out the registration form for AIAT.
Allocation of the specialisation will be based upon the cut-off marks of the concerned specialisation as
determined from the merit list and the number of seats in each specialization. The total number of seats shall be
equally divided among all the offered specialisations in a particular academic year.
*Note: The offering of a specialisation in a particular academic year will be subject to minimum 5 admissions in
the concerned specialisation group.
Process of allotment of specialization to the candidates selected in consolidated/generic merit list:
After the preparation of consolidated/generic merit list, the institute will start allotting the specialisation for each
candidate from consolidated/generic merit list based upon their marks in AIAT and preferences selected by the
candidates. The Institute will start with the first candidate. He/she will be given his/her first specialization. In this
hypothetical example, the process will go on till the 10 seats for open category are filled for each specialisation.
If a candidate has selected “Business & Corporate Law” as his/her first preference and 10 seats are filled in
“Business & Corporate Law”, the institute will allot his/her second preferred specialisation according to his/her
marks in AIAT. The candidate will not be allotted his/her first specialization i.e., “Business and Corporate Law”
because 10 seats allotted to Business and Corporate Law are exhausted. He/She will be allotted his/her second
preference. If the 10 seats for the course selected as 2nd preference are also full, the institute will allot third or
fourth preference provided by the candidate while filling out the registration form.
Kindly note, in case a candidate does not fall within the merit list of any 4 of his/her preferred specialisations
according to his/her AIAT marks, the institute has the discretion to allot an appropriate specialization to the
candidate from the remaining available specializations.
Subsequent to the allotment of specialisation, a specialisation-wise merit list shall be published and offer letter
shall be sent to the merit listed candidates.
The Institution shall provide admissions in all the specialisations as per the merit, however, the waitlist number
of the candidate is subject to variation as per rule no. 5.5.2 of One Year LL.M Admission Process & Rules, 2020.
Therefore, no wait list number will be provided/assigned to the waitlisted candidates.
Process of preparation of second merit list:
After the last date for admission as per the first merit list, the institute will check the total admitted candidates
and based upon the seats available in each specialization, the following process will be followed:
Forfeiture and deemed for feiture: If a candidate is offered first preference in first merit list but has not
taken the admission:
The candidate who has not taken admission after offering his/her first preference of specialisation (refuses or
does not take admission) within the stipulated period will forfeit his/her claim of admission. It means his/her
candidature will not be considered for second and subsequent merit lists. No email or any communication for
negotiating or requesting change in admission shall be admissible. It cannot be raised as a ground for holding the
seat or right to admission.

 359

Hypothetical Example: If Mr./Ms. “A” is offered his/her preference -1 in the first merit list, but he/she didn’t take
admission before deadline of the admission for the first merit list and requested more information or change of
specialisation, Mr./Ms. “A” will not be considered for second merit list. Since, Mr./Ms. “A” has not taken admission
after offering his/her first preference given by him/her; he/she will forfeit his/her claim of admission in second
and subsequent merit lists.
The above logic will be applied while preparing the second & the subsequent merit list.
If a candidate is offered second, third or fourth preference in the first merit list but he/she has not taken
the admission:
If a candidate is offered admission in his/her second/third/fourth preference but he/she does not take the
admission at SLS Pune, the candidate will be waitlisted and will be considered for second merit list subject to
availability of seats. In the second merit list, allotment of specialisation will be done according to seats available
in the specialisations, his/her AIAT score and preference of specialisation given by him/her at the time of
registration.
The following process will be followed for the allotment of specialization:
a. If a candidate is allotted his/her fourth preference and has not taken the admission, he/she will be waitlisted
and his/her candidature will be considered for first, second and third preference.
b. If a candidate is allotted his/her third preference and has not taken the admission, he/she will be waitlisted
and his/her candidature will be considered for first and second preference. His/her candidature will not be
considered for third and fourth preference.
c. If a candidate is allotted his/her second preference and has not taken the admission, he/she will be waitlisted
and his/her candidature will be considered for first preference. His/her candidature will not be considered
for second, third and fourth preference.
If a candidate is offered second/third or fourth preference in the first merit list and has taken the admission
at SLS Pune:
If a candidate is offered his/her second/third or fourth preference in the first merit list and has taken admission
at SLS Pune, the candidate will be given the option to change the specialization.
Process for change of specialisation after taking admission at SLS Pune:
The admitted candidate may make an application within the stipulated time to change his/her specialisation.
The application for change in specialization will be considered keeping in view:
the candidate’s score in AIAT. cut-off marks of the concerned specialization in subsequent merit list;the number
of vacant seats in the concerned specialisation.
If a candidate is offered first/second/third or fourth preference in first or any other merit list and has taken
admission at SLS Pune and cancelled the admission subsequently:
If a candidate has taken admission in any specialization and cancelled the admission for whatever reason, the
said candidate will forfeit his/her claim of the admission in subsequent merit lists.

Dr. Anuradha Vaidya

Director

Officiating Director Profile:

Dr. Anuradha Vaidya began her research career at National Centre for Cell Science (NCCS), an autonomous
institute of the Department of Biotechnology, Government of India, where she worked in the field of Stem Cell
Biology. She received a Ph.D. in Biotechnology from University of Pune in January 2011 after which she got
affiliated with the brand “Symbiosis”. She has been associated with Symbiosis School of Biological Sciences (SSBS),
Symbiosis International (Deemed University) (SIU) at its establishment in August 2011.On 8th November 2021,
after completing more than a decade at SSBS, Dr. Vaidya was appointed as the Director of SSBS.
Dr. Anuradha Vaidya’s current research focuses on understanding the microenvironment-mediated regulation of
hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) and the potential use of the mesenchymal stromal cell (MSC) secretome as “cell-
free biologics” in the treatment of neurodegenerative disorders. This is an extension of her Ph.D. work during which
she showed that the HSCs are regulated intrinsically by the activation of p44/42 mitogen-activated protein kinase
(MAPK) pathway that is crucial to its proliferation; whereas the extrinsic regulation of HSCs is mediated via its
intercellular communication with the MSCs and that constitutive activation of the AKT signalling pathway in MSCs
has a detrimental effect on the HSCs. Since her line of work is in stem cells, Dr. Vaidya is also affiliated with the
Symbiosis Centre for Stem Cell Research (SCSCR).
Dr. Vaidya is a member of National and International societies such Indian Society of Cell Biology and the International
Society for Stem Cell Research. She is also a member of various academic, ethical, and safety committees within and
outside of SIU. She has been serving as an Editor and Reviewer for many International peer-reviewed journals. She
has also published several research articles in reputed journals such as Stem Cell Reviews and Reports, Regenerative
Medicine, Stem Cells, Cryobiology, etc., and is currently involved in guiding and mentoring doctoral and dissertation
students. She believes that SSBS possesses all key attributes to evolve as one of the premier Life Science’s institutes
of India!

Institute Profile:
Symbiosis School of Biological Sciences (SSBS) (formerly Symbiosis School of Biomedical Sciences) was established
as a new initiative of Symbiosis International University (SIU) in 2011 under the Faculty of Health and Biomedical
Sciences (now Faculty of Health Sciences) to address the need for a School devoted to training, research and
development in the field of Biological Sciences. SSBS offer’s M.Sc. and Ph.D. programmes in Biotechnology,
Biochemistry and Life Sciences. The current research focus of the institute is on contemporary areas such as
Genomics, Proteomics & Bioinformatics, Stem Cell Biology, Antibiotic Resistance, Food Biotechnology, Avian
Virology, Biotransformation of Xenobiotics, Quorum Sensing, Nanotechnology and Metabolic diseases which are

based programme incorporates a six months Research Project as an integral component that provides an
opportunity for the students to get trained in independently drafting a hypothesis, designing a research project,
and performing laboratory experiments followed by data analysis coupled with an opportunity to publish in
peer-reviewed journals. In order to confer an edge over similar programmes in the country, the Biotechnology
programme also has a provision for a one-year Research Project as a separate “stream” with the sole objective
of providing an opportunity to the students to master skills in contemporary areas along with an opportunity to
write and publish an original research paper.
• Master of Science (Biochemistry) [M.Sc. (Biochemistry)]
M.Sc. Biochemistry is a fundamental programme offering various courses such as Biomolecules, Enzymology,
Metabolism, Metabolic and Genetic Engineering, Bioanalytical Techniques, Genomics, Bioinformatics, Structural
Biology, Drug Discovery, and Biostatistics. The programme incorporates Research Project as an integral

M.Sc. (Life Sciences) [Partly by Paper Partly by Research (PPPR)] programme is specifically carved for those
who are employed. There are meritorious individuals employed in industries with a zeal to pursue further
education. However, their enthusiasm is deferred due to paucity of time and suitable avenues. It is of immense
importance to harness this fervour for the progress of the individual and the organization. The inception of the
M.Sc. Life Sciences (PPPR) is to sustain the passion of the employed for the attainment of knowledge through
the Part Paper and Part Research programme. While undertaking this programme, the candidate can continue
with the employment. The candidate can select one theory course of their choice, each semester. The courses
offered include Advanced Molecular Biology, Biochemistry, Microbiology, Advanced Immunology, Cell Biology

Dr. Jyoti Chandiramani

Director, Symbiosis School of Economics
Dean, Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences – SIU

Direct Profile:
Prof Jyoti Chandiramani has over 35 years of experience in teaching, institution building, administration, and
research. Presently, she teaches Urban Economic Development and Urban Mobility at the Masters level.
Dr Chandiramani has conducted more than 50 Management Development Programmes (MDP) for the corporate
over the years. She has been a core founder member of the Symbiosis Centre for Liberal Arts. In 2007, she was
awarded a short-term scholarship at the University of DePauw, Indianapolis – to study Liberal Arts Education.
In 2013, she was a part of the Indian delegation to Pakistan for the Tenth South Asian Economic Students Meet
(SAESM) at Lahore University of Management Sciences, and she has been conferred with the ICongo instituted
Gold Karmaveer Chakra and the Rex Karmaveer Global Fellowship in Delhi, for her contributions to the field of
education in 2015. In 2016, she was invited to the 5th ASEM Rectors’ Conference as a Mentor for the Students’
Forum (ARC5), organized by Charles University in Prague and the Asia-Europe Foundation (ASEF). Prof Jyoti has
been a member of the Working Group on “City Governance and Smart Cities” – Niti Aayog in 2017; in 2018 she was
invited to Macquarie University to deliver seminar lectures.
Prof. Chandiramani’s research interests lie in the urban economic development and international economic
cooperation. To this effect, she focuses her research in areas such as Urban Infrastructure, Urban Transport, Urban
Poverty and is presently working on Pune centric cases. She has a number of research papers to her credit and
has worked on research projects funded by National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development (NABARD)
and others. She is also a research guide to a number of PhD scholars. Besides writing a couple of textbooks, and
publishing research papers in reputed journals, she has jointly edited a book with Ramanath Jha on ‘Perspectives in
Urban Development: Issues in Infrastructure, Planning, and Governance.’

Institute Profile:
The growing institution has demonstrated a discernible record of success, offering two programmes:
1. B.Sc. (Economics) Honours and
2. M.Sc. Economics with specializations in International Trade, Development Studies, Urban Development, Finance
and Data Analytics.
Note: The choice of specialisations is based on multiple factors (as the case may be) such as academic performance
in semesters I and II, a test, an interview, and a statement of purpose.
SSE has two very active centres to cater to specific needs of the students and faculty members. The Centre for
Quantitative Learning and Applications (CQLA) facilitates advanced level data analysis and statistical software
training (SAS, SPSS, STATA, R, and other statistical and econometric software) for the students. The Centre for
Academic Writing (CAW) supports students in the academic writing of essays, papers and reports of various types.
CAW also publishes an annual journal – Oeconomica Scriptis – a compilation of outstanding academic writings of
the students.
Research: The school prepares its student community with strong research methods (both quantitative and
qualitative), software applications, along with a final semester dissertation, which is mandatory at both, the
 Bachelor’s and Master’s programmes. With more than 60 publications, the school has actively engaged on varied
research projects with NABARD, Chest Research Foundation, INHAF, Sulochana Thapar Foundation, etc., working
closely on rural, urban, trade and development issues.
Placements: Our 1500+ alumni, have been accepted to pursue academics at the leading institutions in India – like
Indira Gandhi Institute for Development and Research, Gokhale Institute of Politics and Economics, Delhi School
of Economics, Jawaharlal National University, Madras School of Economics, Indian Institute of Technology (Powai,
Bombay), Centre for Development Studies (Trivandrum), Indian Institute of Management (Ahmedabad, Bangalore,
and Indore), Tata Institute of Social Sciences (Mumbai) and across reputed International Universities such as
Johns Hopkins University, Columbia University, Boston University, University of Rochester, National University
Singapore, London School of Economics, Warwick University, St Andrew’s University, to name a few.
The programmes’ rigour equips our students with employable skills in economic analysis, data analytics, market
research, economic research and business intelligence, which has helped our students to be recruited by renowned
organizations such as Deloitte, Ernst and Young, ZS Associates, CMIE, RIS, IIHS, CRISIL, ICICI Bank, IndusInd Bank,
Vodafone, Markets and Markets, Public Affairs Centre (PAC), Research and Development Initiatives (RDI), and
many more.
It is evident that through the interdisciplinary flavours, the curricula prepares our students for careers in a wide
range of sectors and professions. Despite the demanding environment, there is ample scope for creativity, originality
and students’ initiatives. The journey of academic pursuits is ever-evolving and will always include different
perspectives and recommendations from all our stakeholders – this is the key to making the learning experience
increasingly relevant and meaningful.
Internationalization: Symbiosis International (Deemed University) having more than 60 MOUs with leading
international universities, has helped SSE facilitate strong linkages with respect to students and faculty exchange,
working towards collaborative research and benchmarking our courses and programmes to international
requirements.
Enhanced Engagements: SSE is closely associated with Niti Aayog, and other leading think tanks like Research and
Information Systems (RIS), ICRIER, UNDP, INHAF, Shyam Chi Aai Foundation, SOFOSH, CII, Cogencis, IDOBRO,
TIES, Yunus Centre (Yunus Social Business, Bangalore), Piramal Foundation and many more.
Given the framework, this very niche institute seeks to develop intellectual discipline, critical and analytical bents
of mind and a skill-set that makes our students prepared for academia and industry, alike. We at SSE, achieve these
goals in an educational environment committed to excellence and academic freedom. While the programmes are
rigorous and the pedagogies are designed to make the student learn experientially, as well as, through the traditional
techniques, the curricular and co-curricular and extra-curricular inputs, SSE seeks to nurture and develop the
intellectual and professional competencies for successful careers that inspire inclusivity, sustainability, innovation,
leadership and pragmatism into problem-solving at local and global levels.

• Master of Science (Economics) [M.Sc. (Economics)]

The M.Sc. Economics programme is interdisciplinary in nature. The programme seeks to develop intellectual
discipline, critical and analytical thinking with a view to groom passionate individuals capable of taking up
responsibility. We have a highly rigorous and relevant curriculum, catering to the dynamic nature of global
markets. We, at SSE, strive hard to create an enabling framework to facilitate the smooth translation of skills to
jobs.
The diverse pool of students is selected through a highly comprehensive screening process across India.
The applicants hail from varied academic backgrounds like economics, commerce, mathematics, statistics,
management, science, engineering, marketing, etc., and, bring to the table a diversity of thoughts, and
perspectives. We look forward to a batch of students every year with proven excellence in academia and in
extracurricular activities. The student community, together with the knowledge ethic embedded at SSE, ensures
that they are prepared to take on roles as managers, economists, statisticians, analysts and entrepreneurs.
SSE adopts innovative and proactive teaching pedagogy with emphasis on holistic developments of individuals.
The coursework has been designed to acclimatize students to the rigors of a highly competitive workplace.
Inherent with the coursework is a system of Continuous Evaluation (CE) that provides critical evaluation of
a candidate’s performance from time to time. The curricula place a lot of importance on intensive application-
based research and analysis. Further, to strengthen the skill set, the students undergo workshops where they
are trained to handle and implement data packages and software like SPSS, STATA, R, Python, etc.
As part of the programme, all students are required to complete a two-month industry internship. The objective
of the internship is to give students the opportunity to experience real world applications of theories they have
studied. At the end of the two years, students are well prepared to face the challenges of academia, research,
business and industry.

pertinent to address the 21st century global challenges. While engaging with topics on peace, conflict, justice,
rights, development, global commons, environment, cooperation, governance, diplomacy and so on, the emphasis
is on developing critical thinking to come up with tangible alternatives to address the unresolved issues. The
holistic nature of courses offered under the M.A. (International Studies) programme provides students with the
lens to critically examine, analyze and understand contemporary issues based on a multi-disciplinary approach. The
specialization offered under the course on Area Studies fosters scholarship of the region informed by a deeper
understanding of an interconnected and interdependent world. The choice of regions offered includes –Europe/
U.S.A and Asia. The students are also offered a choice of foreign language as part of the Area Studies course (e.g.
French/ Spanish/ Chinese/ Arabic). For the choice of both the region and the foreign language to take off, there
has to be a minimum enrolment of ten students. The curriculum includes mandatory internships that prepare
students for careers with CSOs, NGOs, international organizations, think tanks, civil services, media, academia,
consultancies and financial institutions. Our faculty members are a good blend of prominent academicians, active
researchers and practitioners, attesting to the belief that the best pedagogy comes from a mix of theory and praxis.
The students benefit from the contributions of different types of practitioners of international relations, whether
they are from diplomacy, the corporates, the think-tanks or international organizations. The diverse background of
both the faculty and the postgraduate students makes for a cosmopolitan and enriching environment.

In the contemporary scenario, India’s interest in the world as well as the world’s interest in India is visibly at its
highest. Therefore, it becomes imperative that the Indian scholarship on global issues should respond to the
opportunities that this presents. To this end, the Symbiosis School of International Studies (SSIS) endeavours
to provide a platform for teaching and research in international relations, with an emphasis on India and its role
in global affairs. Set up in consonance with the broader vision of Symbiosis Society, which is “to integrate with
the world”, SSIS strives to constantly engage in scholarly pursuits in an environment of intellectual fellowship,
aimed at the academic enrichment of the entire community.The discipline of International Studies (IS) positions
itself at the cross-roads where the dominant cultural, economic, political and social issues that exercise an
influence on the national, regional and international agenda converge. A Master’s programme in International
Studies encourages students to relate theoretical concepts to specific, relevant world issues and challenges
in international affairs today. The holistic nature of courses offered under the M.A. (International Studies)
programme provides students with the lens to critically examine, analyze and understand contemporary issues
based on a multi-disciplinary approach. The specialization offered under the course on Area Studies fosters
scholarship of the region informed by a deeper understanding of an interconnected and interdependent world.
The choice of regions offered includes - Europe/North America and Asia. The students are also offered a choice
of foreign language as part of Area Studies course (Arabic/ French/ Spanish/ Chinese). Our faculty members are
a good blend of prominent academicians, active researchers and practitioners, attesting to the belief that the
best pedagogy comes from a mix of theory and praxis. Apart from the teaching vertical, we also run the flagship
annual International Relations Conference (IRC) and an online research portal - Indian Review of Global Affairs
(IRGA).
• Master of Arts (African Studies: Geo Economics and Foreign Policy) [MA (AS)]
Master of Arts (African Studies: Geo-economics and Foreign Policy) is a multidisciplinary programme of study
that provides a holistic understanding of the African continent and its relation with major countries in the world.
The course elaborates on the political, economic and sociocultural environment of the continent and its impact
on global affairs. Abundant natural resources, a young population and an emerging market are some of the
reasons many global actors are attracted to the region in the past few decades.

Orientation and Pedagogy

Faculty is encouraged to employ a number of methods of instruction. Consistent with the University’s quality
assurance and enhancement practices, each method is designed to ensure that the students derive maximum
benefit from the lectures and seminars, and that they use the self - study time to its full advantage.
Given the diversity of the subject, the programme is taught through a mixed pedagogical approach, combining
exposure to both IR theory and praxis. Emphasis is laid on hands-on training in the workings of contemporary
diplomacy and international negotiations through simulations, case studies and audio visuals. The courses are
designed to nurture critical analysis skills (written and oral), soft skills, intercultural skills and e- competencies in
the students to enable them to play professional, constructive or leadership roles at the national, regional and
international level.
The pedagogy is by lecture/seminar format, small group work, and simulations as appropriate. For each course,
the formal lectures are intended to provide students with – right from an introduction to a particular theme or
topic, to making them aware of main issues through a structured summary of the current state of debate on a topic,
and to provide them with navigation points through the main literature. The seminar format is intended to provide
students with the opportunity to engage in discussion with other students and with the course convenor for a
structured discussion of substantive issues.
Students are encouraged to work both independently, and as part of a group. Independent study is vital to develop
research skills: for the preparation of essays, book reviews and the final year dissertation. All of this written work
is designed to help hone the skills necessary to filter complex arguments and issues to their essential elements, and
to express your own critical ideas succinctly, clearly, and in an organised manner. Students are also encouraged
to work independently on presentations to develop oral communication skills. This helps to develop the ability to
organise and to think quickly about complex issues, and to develop skills necessary for reasoned argumentation.
Students are also encouraged to work in groups for simulation projects to develop skills necessary for cooperation
in group project work, as well as to develop leadership qualities.
The programme also allows students to manage an online research portal, Indian Review of Global Affairs, which
will become a base of mid-to-long range policy- relevant issues and challenges. This will further hone skills and
encourage the participation of youth in new age research via the use of new media such as podcasts, photo-essays/
photo- journalism, interviews and video- series.
