Symbiosis University
The Symbiosis University of Applied Sciences, Indore is the first Skill Development University with unmatched innovations in curricula suitable to generate a steady stream of skilled, industry-ready professionals for high growth and high employment sectors such as banking, financial services and insurance; retailing and e-commerce; computer science and information technology; and automobile engineering and mechatronics. In order to meet this requirement, the Symbiosis University of Applied Sciences, Indore was set up by the Government of Madhya Pradesh under the Madhya Pradesh Niji Vishwavidyalay Adhiniyam, 2007.
The University promotes critical thinking, project-oriented & case-based learning and focuses on practical skills required for the industry rather than dispensing theory-based inputs.
Founded in 2016, the Symbiosis University of Applied Sciences is a recent addition to the city of Indore, which is now the educational hub of Central India. The University with its sprawling campus, state-of-the-art facilities and laboratories as well as separate full-service boys and girls hostels makes it the first choice for students in this country.
