Symbiosis School of Liberal Arts: Ranking, Courses, Fees, Admission, Placements

Academics & Faculty

The list of courses available at the college is non-exhaustive, if you will. These can range from both relevant to your field and absolutely fascinating/refreshing. The pedagogy is unlike any other, in my experience. Most faculty members are approachable, helpful, competent, et al. during college hours and after. 

International Exposure

From what I have read, there are a lot of international institutes that SSLA has tie-ups with ranging from Universities in the US and all the way to Germany or the UK. The primary language of conversation is English. There are quite a few people who go for student-exchange programmes abroad and similarly, quite a few who visit SSLA from foreign Universities. 

Academics & Faculty

Very wide range of elective subjects, from Urdu to Ballroom Dancing and more. Class sizes are small, increasing interaction with faculty. Faculty is very approachable during college hours and after, on email or over the phone. Teaching is student centric and the topics covered are flexible to the interests of the students. Assessments are done throughout the semester with a final evaluation of not more than 40 marks, giving us the opportunity to score through projects and other assignments and reducing the burden at the end of the semester. 

International Exposure

A lot of international students and NRIs are a part of this institution. There are a large number of semester exchange programs and semester abroad opportunities with universities in the USA, Canada, the Netherlands, France, Germany, UAE, and more. 

Academics & Faculty

The permanent faculty are amazing. Most of them are young which helps them to connect to with the students and take classes in an enjoyable fashion. Most of the visiting faculties are very well read and know their topic inside out. As far as I know the only faculty which is dissappointing is the English Majors faculty, I hope they do change this particular individual in the future.

Fees and Scholarship

The fees for per year is 3 Lakhs and can be paid in 2 installments over the 2 semesters. There are only 2 scholarships which i am not well informed of at the moment. But otherwise I feel that there needs to be better financial help from the college's side for families who are not that well off.

Placements & Internships

i have taken up 2 jobs and 4 internships during the period of ssla, which has only been 6 semesters - by which you can realize how ssla prepares one to be a part of internships and take  up practical experiences.

ssla enourages such experiences and has an internship cell that assists students with the same

College Infrastructure

the school has a new campus which has spacious classrooms, white boards, projectors, a healthy clean canteen, dance room, music room, library, conference room and reading room and free parking.

 

It lacks a play/running ground which can be made up by the availabiltiy of free gym.

Clubs & Associations

Extremely diverse range of clubs, fulfils many interests, and opportunities to start new clubs are abundant. Anyone can join, so they encourage interaction between different kinds of people and increase tolerance.

Social Atmosphere

There are many different kinds of people studying here and college curriculum is designed in a way to encourage interactions, which leads to off-campus friendships and socialising. Inclusive atmosphere.
