Description

Established in 2002 under Section 3 of the UGC Act, 1956, Symbiosis International (Deemed University), commonly referred to as SIU, is one of India's premier private multi-disciplinary universities based in Pune, Maharashtra. However, its journey began much earlier—way back in 1971—when the Symbiosis Society was formed by Dr. S. B. Mujumdar with the vision of promoting international understanding through quality education.

Over the years, Symbiosis has grown from a small international cultural and academic initiative into a full-fledged university offering globally relevant education. Today, SIU operates over 30+ constituent institutes across 8 campuses in India including Pune, Nashik, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, and Noida.

The university is widely known for its focus on industry-integrated learning, innovation in curriculum, and a holistic academic environment. It maintains strong collaborations with foreign universities, multinational corporations, and research organizations. Its rigorous academic frameworks, regular international student exchange programs, emphasis on entrepreneurship, and state-of-the-art infrastructure distinguish it from conventional institutions.

SIU is recognized for hosting a large international student base from over 80 countries, creating a culturally vibrant environment. Its emphasis on value-based education, wellness, and leadership has made it one of the most sought-after universities for both national and international students.

Symbiosis continues to play a pivotal role in shaping India's global educational footprint and remains committed to nurturing intellectual minds with ethical and social responsibility.
