Symbiosis Centre for International Education (SCIE)

The Symbiosis International Education Centre (SCIE) embraces a unique tradition of access and opportunity derived from the Symbiosis International University’s vision of ‘Promoting international understanding through quality education’. SCIE aspires to offer educational opportunities (in teaching-learning, research and service) and international exposure to its faculty, staff and students. Additionally, SCIE’s mandate is to create a ‘home away from home’ for its diverse student community (from over 85 countries) and foster all round student success while they learn and live at Symbiosis.

International 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
