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.

It was such a great experience. Great teachers and a perfect environment for learning. I relived college life once again. The management of SCCE, Pune was outstanding in terms of everything, be it documentation, planning, classes or examinations. I am thankful I was able to attend this course. I was able to integrate the course learnings with my job profile, which is a great takeaway for me.

Thank you so much.

The two-year MBA (Executive) programme combined experiential learning, group projects, and a variety of academic activities to create a transformative experience. By interacting with a group of experts, I improved my abilities, took on practical problems, and created enduring relationships. It was a path of self-improvement, resilience, and preparation for the changing work environment.

As I prepare to embark on the next chapter of my journey, I want to extend my deepest thanks to everyone who has made these past two years truly unforgettable. Your dedication, passion, and unwavering support have made a profound impact on my life, and I am forever grateful for the privilege of being a part of this incredible institution. The guidance and mentorship provided by all professors have been instrumental in shaping my curiosity and fostering a deep passion for my chosen field of study. Seema Madam, I will miss your corrections & the love you have always shared! The emotions that rolled down your eyes on the last day of college made my eyes also go wet. Going back to the college days, after 17 years, is nostalgic and emotions attached with it is something I will cherish forever.

Pursuing the MBA (Executive) programme at SCCE, Pune was one of the most fulfilling experiences of my life. After 6 years in the corporate world, it felt incredible to be a student again — the campus visits, group studies, exams and that college vibe brought back so many memories. A heartfelt thank you to Dr. Seema Singh ma’am for her constant guidance and encouragement, and to the entire Symbiosis teaching and admin team for making this journey so special. The learnings from these two years will stay with me always.

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!!

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.

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.

The EPGDBM course not only upgrades the academic knowledge levels but also gives a lot of insights to the students on the various aspects like economics (domestic and global) and social elements. To a person like me who is pursuing higher education after a gap of 20 years, this type of course is an acumen booster indeed. The kind of faculty and facilities provided by SCCE, Pune have been very systematic and student friendly such that in the span of 1.5 years, I have never felt a classroom pressure, in fact enjoyed the studying a lot.
