Looking back, enrolling in the EPGDBM programme at Symbiosis was one of the most rewarding decisions of my career.
As a Deputy General Manager at Tata Motors, I was seeking something that would sharpen my business acumen—and this course delivered much more than I expected.
I came in wanting to learn Python and improve my grasp of financials, and I walked away not only with those skills but also with a whole new way of looking at data and decision-making.
The emphasis on statistical thinking truly changed how I approach complex problems at work.
What stood out the most was the passion and dedication of the faculty—especially Dr. Seema Singh and her team.
Their ability to make tough concepts engaging and relatable made the learning experience truly memorable.
The Lavale campus, perched on a beautiful hilltop in Pune, provided the perfect setting to disconnect, reflect, and learn.
The hostel facilities were top-notch and made the entire journey smooth and enjoyable.
This wasn’t just a course—it was a personal and professional growth experience. I’d wholeheartedly recommend it to any working professional ready to take the next leap.

Pursuing the EPGDBM program at Symbiosis SCCE, Pune, at the age of 48 was one of the most rewarding decisions of my professional journey.

The flexibility of the schedule allowed me to balance work, learning, and personal commitments effectively without compromising on the depth and quality of education.

First I would like to thank Seema ma’am and Citius Tech for this opportunity. Today when we are at the end of this course, I take immense pleasure to thank everyone here in my batch who has helped me in this entire course, this would definitely be missed. When I had joined it seemed impossible to be travelling to office and attending classes over the weekends. But with the help of each and every faculty and their immense knowledge it became more and more interesting and we all started looking forward to such realistic learning. The travelling to office, the get-together, the breaks and having parties for no reason, all these activities made the journey so much fun. Preparing for exams was super exciting too, asking everyone for notes burning the midnight oil to study was like re living the college days. The learning received in this course has no bounds I could relate to so many management jargons now, we were thought so many things let it be of management or personal growth, it has really helped me and I’m sure each and every one of us in giving different perspective toward things in our day to day life. The entire journey has been a new experience for me, every class we all got to learn something new and with the help of such amazing faculty and their vast experience it was made so easy, let it be ledgers of accounts, principles of Economics, different acts of law, marketing strategies, company formation there has been so much to learn. It has been a joy ride right from building 3 accounts lecture to last lecture of Marketing research. Once again would like to thank Symbiosis and Citius tech for giving us this Opportunity.

They say there is no place like home, I agree, and I found another one in SCCE, Pune!
The course in itself was as interesting as it was challenging, and I will sorely miss each and every moment spent in the classroom. The pedagogy and discourse were designed to ensure maximum learning in the simplest possible way, with each teacher providing a strong connect to the real world through examples. The overall experience was exemplary, and keeps me wanting to go back for more! Most importantly, I call SCCE, Pune my second home is because of the team there. They take on multiple roles, those of friends, parents, peers and competent authority alike, fulfilling the silliest requests at times while saying a strict “NO” at other times.
Hence I say, “there is no place like SCCE, Pune”; where the amount of simplified learning tends toward infinity!!

As life progresses, most of us feel that the past stage was better and the college/school days are always missed to a great extent. Those days are always termed as the golden period of life. After spending 15 years as working professional, I had almost forgotten those golden days which I spent during graduation. It was a miraculous change in my life when I Joined EPGDBM class in SCCE, Pune. Going back to the learning seat again was awesome experience and it was greatly enhanced by the learned Faculty members of SCCE, Pune. I experienced that “Learning can also be so easy, exciting and full of fun”. At the time of completing the course, we all are sad that we are going to miss the structured learning of SCCE, Pune. I shall ever be indebted to the Faculty and staff members of SCCE, Pune for this wonderful and smooth learning experience of my life. I feel proud to be associated with SCCE, Pune, first as student and now as Alumnus.
Thank you SCCE, Pune and Seema Ma’am…

I am privileged to be an alumnus of SIU and feel honored to express my thoughts.
EPGDBM programme through SCCE, Pune meant a lot to me. I was drawn towards the wide vista of management and its application in solving business problems upfront and gained confidence in developing a much bigger perspective, which would not have been possible without the deep dive that the course took me into. The faculty is truly inspirational and pedagogy just right to explore and enjoy the learning with peers. As a mid-career manager, I could not have asked for more.

As an engineer, from my very first day as a professional I tried to solve any problem that came my way with a technical approach. The EPGDBM programme from SCCE, Pune helped me to broaden my thinking to the business world. The EPGDBM programme has helped me to develop my overall personality. It helped me to develop my leadership and team skills. The learning was interesting and interactive – thanks to the highly experienced and dedicated faculty of Symbiosis. I was unable to leave my job for a EPGDBM course even though I knew it would be helpful for my career. Therefore, the EPGDBM programme from Symbiosis was the best fit for my circumstances and I feel really lucky to have been able to obtain the EPGDBM without leaving my job.”

SCCE, Pune has been instrumental in making my dream come true – a dream which I had seen almost 15 years back while I was completing my graduation. Circumstances didn’t let me complete my EPGDBM back then.
The whole SCCE, Pune programme for corporate education has been a wonderful initiative. The curriculum was so well defined and curated specifically for us as a corporates and considering our everyday challenges – it provided us a great understanding of all that’s required for us to function well in our careers. The best part was the well-equipped faculty, handpicked from the industry itself, providing a more practical approach to solving complex issues. Will definitely recommend the programme as a must do, for any professional looking at an edge to excel in their current roles and obviously with an eye to progressively develop their professional acumen.
Dr. Seema has been an inspiration to many of us and her guidance helped us get through the entire programme very smoothly
Personally this course helped me develop additional perspective in enterprise knowhow. Thank you SCCE, Pune, for understanding and providing avenues for working professionals to pursue their ambitions!

People get surprised when they hear us.
No one expects a comparatively junior colleague to provide ideas armed with modern management doctrines.
We listen more, analyze in parallel, think different and suggest the best.
Expect nothing less when you are coached by professors of Symbiosis.
The discipline, the values, the intent and most importantly the blessings of the faculty, made us a better person in every aspect!

It is said that time flies & this course is yet another testimony when I experienced it yet again.
It seems even better when you gain along with it. When I say gain it means for your own good being & also for society.
This course gave me lot of insights & my take away from it is I no more consider myself as “Frog of the well”.
I bet this is a Must DO for all working professionals & you will not find any better place than “SCCE, Pune” for the same.

I personally feel that the EPGDBM Programme that we underwent offered a wide range of benefits. I gained valuable business knowledge which helped me understand and gauge to various aspects of business strategies and concepts and many of them can be applied to our day to day business operations. Moreover, it covered a wide range of 20 subjects, some of the subjects were not even thought deeply ever!!
The lectures and presentations from the faculty were very good and the assignments helped to develop analytical skills, analyze and resolve problems.
I enjoyed the 2 year programme thoroughly and can never forget some faculty members.
