Excellent choice of subjects, dissatisfied with the placements.

Placements: The college, despite being a branch of Symbiosis International University, which is one of the top colleges in India, does not offer good campus placements. The rate of getting a campus placement straight out of the Liberal Arts course is quite difficult. However, a liberal arts education helps build essential soft skills that help you advance faster in any career that you choose to specialise in.

Infrastructure: The college campus consists of one floor of classrooms, sharing the building with Symbiosis Law School and Symbiosis School of International Studies. The building has an on campus hostel, sports grounds, retail shops, cafeteria amd gym. The college also offers free on campus healthcare for all students. The other off campus hostels, for both girls and boys, are clean, well maintained and offer mess food 4 times a day.

Faculty: The college has a unique 4 year course structure, with a vast variety of subjects to choose from including Psychology, Anthropology, Physics Maths Biology History, English International Relations and Theatre to name a few. You can also choose between three course routes with double minor specialisation with single major, double major specialisation, or single minor single major. The course offers a deep interdisciplinary understanding of any subjects of your choosing, hence making it perfect if you don't know what exactly your field of interest is. Most of the faculty is highly experienced in their field and excellent at capturing the attention of the students.

Other: I chose this course because of its interdisciplinary structure, where you can mix and match upto 3 subjects of your choosing as well as various electives each year. You can choose to join as many of the officials clubs run by the college as you want, like the dance club, queer club, poetry club, etc.etera. The college is also starting its own fest this year, called Symmelan. 2022 will be the first time SSLA hosts its own fest on the college grounds. The college provides a few scholarships according to merit as well as external scholarships.

Review of Symbiosis School of Liberal Arts, Symbiosis International, Pune.

Placements: Most of SSLA alumni is accepted into masters programs abroad. Some institute visit our campus for recruitment like John Hopkins University, etc. Moreover, most students prefer to complete their masters than get placed.

Infrastructure: SSLA shares its building with SLS and the third floor is purely for liberal arts. Although just one floor may sound small, and it is spacious. Students have a maintained library, halls, etc. The canteen is also hygienic. Although our campus does not have a swimming pool, SIU students have access to pools and other facilities from across campuses.

Faculty: Faculty members are top-notch. The course structure is very unique and holistic and lives up to the liberal arts name. While 75% of weightage is internals and 25% is semester-end exams, it becomes hectic throughout the year. Managing varied courses with unique assessments for each will give students an experience of corporate life. On top of this, students will have to have 75% of attendance in each course to be able to give exams.

Other: The course structure is very impressive. From writing to mathematics to law, students will get to try their hands at almost everything. All are very unique and accommodating courses with an emphasis over research.

Absolutely amazing for anyone who wants to try out something new and different.

Placements: The placements are kind of varied as most students opt to go for higher education outside the country. You can get very good placements in think tanks among the many other options available to you. The placement options that would be available actually depend on the kind of major and minor combination that you take up in your second year.

Infrastructure: It's a very new building, so the infrastructure is top notch. All classes have a projector and whiteboard along with new tables and chairs. It is nice and well spaced out, so it never feels cramped. Internet, library and other basic things are also amazing with fast and reliable speeds.

Faculty: The faculty are absolutely amazing, and they really get along with us students very well. They answer all our doubts, give us loads of fun activities to do, and they are extremely knowledgeable and use unique methods to teach us seemingly difficult topics in a very fun way.

Other: Liberal arts is a very intense course and isn't very easy, so please do keep that in mind and don't even think that it's an easy chill-out college. You will have loads of fun no doubt, but there is also a lot of work, assignments, etc. that you have to keep doing on a regular basis.

Highly unorganised. Good course options.

Placements: Barely any students have gotten placements from the previous years and graduates. Only a few think tanks within Pune and other volunteering opportunities have been offered to students. No top recruiting company that I know of is provided.

Infrastructure: The college has Wi-Fi available everywhere, the library is small but decent. The classrooms are small but also decent. The hostel quality varies, there are many different boy and girls hostels. The older ones are terrible when compared to the more recently built hostels. The Wi-Fi connection and internet is absolutely terrible to almost unavailable at times and the bad cellphone range inside the hostel won't cut students off from the outside world. The older girls hostel have terrible infrastructure and bad hygiene. The mess food is bad, edible but bad. There are no medical facilities available in the hostel and there is a clinic on the campus with a doctor, a counsellor and a dentist available at certain times. There is however a really nice basketball, football and tennis/ badminton court available. And the college awards provide credits to those who participate.

Faculty: Some professors are absolutely brilliant some are not too great. Some professors are well-read and hence their course curriculum is also well made. Some are lousy and ask students to make the curriculum. Wide range of options available in terms of a combination of subjects for majors and minors is available.
