Symbiosis School of Economics

The biggest take away from SSE for me is "Thinking beyond Books". Before coming to SSE I was very much accustomed to a world where exams were all about studying books and pouring it out on the exam paper. However, those theories actually became clear when our faculty at SSE connected those theories to the real world. The internal components like writing Assignments & Research Papers enhanced our analytical thinking and thus helped us to gain a lot of knowledge which we could not gain by just reading books. The best part was writing a dissertation on a research question of our own choice. It actually made us "think" which no written exam can do! Understanding theories and connecting them to real-world is very important. Only, then we can become real economists.

SSE has given me innumerable opportunities for conducting research works, not just for the purpose of examination, but also for the sake of augmenting knowledge. The college and the faculty have been the most supportive when it came to permitting us for conducting primary surveys. Our Director, Dr. Jyoti Chandiramani, and the other faculties have always welcomed new ideas and motivated us to go ahead with them. A few instances would be my research works on the Transgender Community and the Slum Rehabilitation Scheme in Pune. In other words, SSE has taught me to dream bigger and take risks. Every bit of appreciation that I would receive in my sphere of occupation could be accredited to SSE! so

Discipline, Hard-work, and perseverance is the only way to success. SSE has taught me to fight for everything (in a good sense). Nothing was served on the plate. I had to work hard for everything. Also, the fond memories would be a huge takeaway from SSE. SSE made me more efficient. It brought the best out of me. The overall learning at this institute has shaped me as a person. It was not just monotonous learning. The learning was good enough to take me ahead in my life. The academic career kept me focused on my goal, and did not let me wither away in the flow.

It is going to be a pressure cooker, but you'll know the dish served would be a delicacy" SSE works on this principle. From exploring interests to meeting deadlines, writing papers to present them on time, SSE makes one industry-ready. The rigorous course will keep you on your toes and the application-based approach will make you apply theory in real-life scenarios. SSE not only did make me realize my interests but it made me act upon them, explore the unexplored, and find mentors and friends who will stay for a lifetime. SSE would always be a cherished experience.
