Symbiosis International University sprawls across a breathtaking 300-acre campus known as the Symbiosis Knowledge Village. The campus is situated on the fringes of Pune in Maharashtra. The name of the university aptly captures the quintessence of the bonding with international students that is truly symbiotic.
Symbiosis furnishes state-of-the-art infrastructure to promote learning that is lifelong and enables students to chart a successful career. The picturesque and tranquil campus, on the one hand, motivates students to focus on their studies. And on the other, the advanced infrastructural facilities coupled with the innovative and industry-oriented teaching methodologies help students develop effective personal and professional skills.
The learning and teaching amenities provided by SIU play a key role in ascertaining a result-oriented campus life with an ideal setting for accomplishing academic and professional goals. The rambling SIU campus houses the central library, student hostels, canteen, conference hall, guest house, non-teaching and teaching staff quarters, playgrounds, healthcare center, and shopping area. The campus also has an ATM and offers round the clock CCTV surveillance, operated security, access for differently-abled and constant Wi-Fi facilities.
Besides the common campus facilities, the infrastructure includes ergonomically designed classrooms, research labs, computer labs, exhibition areas, conference rooms, and workshops.

The computer centers include a large number of desktops and workstations loaded with the latest hardware and software tools, enabling students to perform academic activities. The campus has a distinct seminar hall and conference room that serve as venues for interactive sessions, conferences, seminars, and industry-academia interface. All the associate institutes under Symbiosis International University have their distinct library that caters to the creative needs of both the students and the members of faculty. The libraries come in perfectly handy for endorsing the research, scholarship, learning, and teaching activities undertaken by students and faculty members.
The libraries continuously keep adding to the existing stock of textbooks, reference books and manuals, journals, periodicals, and magazines in both digital and print formats. Symbiosis International harnesses the KOHA-integrated library management software that will eventually enable users to access the entire database with a single click. The institution’s central library is located inside a brand new and spacious structure within the Lavale campus.
The Symbiosis Center of Healthcare, founded in 1997, extends quality medical facilities to every stakeholder of the university. The healthcare unit strives to provide curative as well as preventive medical care services. SIU also has a 300-bed healthcare facility - the Symbiosis University Hospital and Research Center-in the same campus that delivers sweeping healthcare services to the surrounding semi-urban zone comprising of about 32 villages.
Symbiosis International set up the ‘University Sports Board’ in 2010 with the overarching objective of encouraging students to participate in sports. The university maintains a fleet of shuttle buses that pick up day scholars from prominent areas of the city and transfer them to their respective colleges just in time. The university campuses also house bank branches, ATMs, stationery stores, photocopy center, and laundry facilities.
