The way it selects its faculty, shows what kind of classic pedagogy it applies in its institutes. Teachers are selected on the basis of their demos, feedback from students which is maintained throughout the year. This is the reason Symbiosis International (Deemed University) has established its uniqueness. It will get functional from city on July 28. Any educational institute earns its name on the basis of its teaching quality so has Symbiosis. Dr Vidya Yeravdekar, its Pro-Chancellor attributes the credit generously to Dr Bhama Venkatramani, Dean, Academics and Administration Symbiosis International University.

 

Symbiosis has already left behind the assessment that National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC) does. Now they are eyeing on national and international ranking. It is among top 7 institutes assessed by National Institutional Ranking Framework (NIRF) and first among private law schools.

 

After earning big name, Symbiosis has come on the land of Nagpur at Wathoda. Its Pro-Chancellor Dr Vidya Yeravdekar has rightly observed the slow development in East Nagpur where Symbiosis got the land.

That’s why while addressing the press conference at Hotel Centre Point on Friday, she said, “Everywhere it is a general scenario, little more attention is paid for the development of Western part and Nagpur is no exception. But with the presence of Symbiosis, the growth of East Nagpur too will get a momentum.”

 

There is a good news for Nagpurians, unlike other national top institutes, Symbiosis is offering 25 per cent seats to Nagpur domiciled candidates and also 15 per cent concession in its tuition fees. Around 10 lakh square feet has been constructed on 75 acres of land and the organisation has spent over Rs 400 crore. Campus comprises academic and administrative buildings, residential blocks for 900 students, faculty quarters, guest house, auditorium having seating capacity of 1,000 audience, etc.

 

Symbiosis started its operation with four schools -- Symbiosis Institute of Business Management (SIBM), Symbiosis Centre for Management Studies (SCMS), Symbiosis Law School and Symbiosis School of Planning, Architecture and Design (SSPAD). “We did not have Architecture institute anywhere not even in our Pune campus. Nagpur is the city where we have introduced it for the first time,” said Dr Yeravdekar.

 

For placement which is Unique Selling Point (USP) of Symbiosis there is Dr Shrirang Altekar, Director of SIBM and SCMS who has good connection in top companies. He said, “Institute aspires to redefine management education with its eminent faculty and strong alumni support with a strong thrust on building capability and creating value for all its stakeholders.”

 

Dr Sukhvinder Singh Dari, Director of SLS explained in detail about the law courses. He said, “We have LLM programe which has its emphasis on an interdisciplinary and global approach in the study of law and research orientation.” Others who were present in the press conference include Dr R Raman, Dean, Faculty of Management, SIU; Dr Sindhu, Director, SSPAD and Dr Amey Yeravdekar, Off Campus In-charge.
