Symbiosis Institute of Computer Studies and Research (SICSR), one of the first Institutes in Maharashtra to offer high quality computer education. SICSR is located in the heart of Pune City. Our location, our broad portfolio of academic IT programmes, our talented and diverse student body, and our dedicated faculty members work together to create an educational experience that is relevant, enriching, and uniquely symbiotic. SICSR has an outstanding IT infrastructure available to support the programmes besides its excellent book collection and reference library. If you are considering IT education, we invite you to explore SICSR.
It is both an honour and a privilege to join the prestigious Symbiosis Institute of Computer Studies and Research (SICSR), Pune, an iconic institution within the Symbiosis family. Since its establishment in 1985, SICSR has been a pioneer in technology education, introducing some of the first-of-their-kind programs such as BCA and M.Sc. (Computer Science/IT-related programs) at a time when computing education was still in its infancy in India. The Institute has a rich legacy of innovation, academic excellence, and leadership in shaping the future of computing professionals.
As I assume this responsibility, I am inspired by SICSR's remarkable journey and excited about the opportunities that lie ahead. Our vision is to take the Institute to its next orbit of excellence by focusing on experiential learning, deeper industry collaboration, cutting-edge research, and the meaningful integration of Artificial Intelligence across the teaching-learning ecosystem. We aim to create an environment where students learn not only through classrooms but also through hands-on laboratories, live industry projects, internships, innovation challenges, and real-world problem-solving experiences.
Our commitment is to ensure that every SICSR student graduates with industry-relevant skills, practical expertise, and the confidence to thrive in a rapidly evolving digital economy. We want our learners to be recognized not merely as fresh graduates, but as professionals equipped with strong practical capabilities and a deep understanding of emerging technologies.
To achieve this, we will actively strengthen partnerships with leading global technology organizations and hyperscalers, including Microsoft, Google, Amazon Web Services (AWS), Salesforce, ServiceNow, Databricks, and several other industry leaders. These collaborations will provide valuable opportunities for certifications, cloud learning pathways, innovation labs, faculty development programs, internships, and industry-led projects. Our objective is to ensure that both our students and faculty remain at the forefront of technological advancements and industry best practices.
Equally important is our focus on empowering faculty members through continuous upskilling and industry engagement. By creating opportunities for faculty immersion in emerging technologies and contemporary business practices, we aim to build a scalable and sustainable academic model that consistently delivers excellence.
My endeavour is to ensure that SICSR continues to be counted among the top institutions in India for technology and management programs, particularly in areas related to BCA, MBA-IT, and emerging digital disciplines. We will work tirelessly to strengthen our academic foundations while embracing innovation, inclusivity, and global relevance.
I invite our industry partners, alumni, faculty, students, and all stakeholders to join us in this exciting journey. Together, we will build an ecosystem that nurtures talent, fosters innovation, and prepares the next generation of technology leaders who can create meaningful impact on society and industry.
Let us work together to shape the future of digital education and innovation at SICSR.
Warm Regards,
Director
