Symbiosis plans campus near Ahmedabad!

January 17th, 2009 Posted in Education In Gujarat, Vibrant Gujarat Summit

siu-logoAfter Indian Institute of Management (IIM-A) and the National Institute of Design (NID), Dhirubhai Ambani Institute of Information and Communication Technology (DA-IICT), Nirma Univercity & Petroleum University now Symbiosis International University (SIU) has now decided to set up a fully-residential academic campus near Ahmedabad, with an initial focus on infotech (IT) and engineering courses.

SIU principal director Vidya Yeravdekar, who was in Ahmedabad recently to attend the Vibrant Gujarat 2009′ industrial summit, said a memorandum of understanding (MoU) was signed on January 13 between SIU and the Gujarat government regarding the proposed campus.
“We have asked for a 30 to 40 acre land at a concessional rate along the belt between Ahmedabad and Gandhinagar,” Yeravdekar said and added that the Gujarat government was working on the location for the proposed campus. “Our objective is to see that phase I of this upcoming campus becomes functional by the beginning of academic year 2011-12,” she said.
Among the premier deemed universities in the country, the SIU started over 25 years ago from the city and has extended its footprint to five campuses across Pune besides Noida, Bangalore and Hyderabad. With more than 25,000 students under its belt, the SIU is better known for its flagship unit the Symbiosis Institute of Business Management.
Yeravdekar said, “The Noida campus will become operational from 2009-10, while the Hyderabad and Ahmedabad campuses are expected to start simultaneously in 2011.”
She said, “The planned initial focus on engineering and technology courses is a conscious decision, considering that Ahmedabad is already home to other major entities in the field of management and design education, like the Indian Institute of Management and the National Institute of Design.”
“The sizeable presence of industries in and around Ahmedabad provides us with a captive ground for placing the engineering and technology pass-outs besides utilising services of industry experts for visiting faculty assignments,” she said. “The industry-academia connect will be more pronounced,” she added.
In the longer run, Yeravdekar said, the SIU does have plans to take its other academic programmes like management, design and health sciences. “The proposed campus will be full-residential facility,” she said, adding, the projected investment was to the tune of Rs 100 crore.
