Director's Message
Welcome to Symbiosis Institute of Media and Communication (SIMC), Symbiosis International (Deemed University), Pune.
To say that media is everywhere is cliché. However, this cliché poses both umpteen challenges as well as opportunities. While the digitally-enabled world offers unprecedented opportunities on one hand, the ability to leverage the advantages of this communications revolution requires a sharp understanding of the domain. What cannot be forgotten in this euphoria is that a responsible and socially-oriented media is critical to the functioning of a plural society. Only well-grounded professionals can bring this nuanced understanding to the working of the media industry. The essence of SIMC lies in creating practitioners who can assimilate intellect, creativity, skill and integrity and achieve highest standards of professional expertise and conduct.
Today, SIMC is the largest institute of its kind in India in terms of PG student intake, across two full-time (2 year), residential programs with distinctly different specializations and yet, delivering a unique and complementary blend of Media, Communications and Management theories coupled with practice. SIMC is also the oldest post-graduate institute offering integrated Media and Communications based programs.
Our vision for the future spans greater recognition as an institute with proven academic standards, higher industry interactions and collaborations with other academic institutions also focusing on the Media and Communications fields, and developing ourselves as the Centre of Excellence in Communications Research in the country.
