Infrastructure/Facilities

  • Library

    The collections at the University Library are the result of more than forty years of continuing commitment by librarians, faculty, students, and private donors to build one of the best libraries in India. The library directly supports the research and instructional needs of the University, while also serving as a custodian of culture and discovery. The collection of more than 2 lakh books supports current University programs and those areas of research which will be needed by future scholars. It has subscriptions to online databases / periodicals such as EBSCO, EMERALD, DOWN TO EARTH (e-version), HBR, GBR, DELNET, PROWESS, BCRC, CMI and DATANET. This exhaustive collection of material in the library caters to all the requirements of the media as well as journalism students.

  • Cafeteria

    SymbiEat, not only provides you with a wide variety of hygienically prepared food choices to pamper your taste buds but the warm and friendly ambiance of the place provides the perfect setting to catch up with friends during breaks.

  • Hostel

    Among rolling hills, with a view of the entire countryside, the SIMC hostel is more picturesque a setting than anyone can ask for in a residence. Rooms are practically fully- furnished with attached bathrooms. Apart from the breath-taking view, residents of the hostel enjoy conveniences like hot water, morning tea and a common area with a television.

Placements could have been better in 2015.

Infrastructure: Like any other college, the quality of the food served in our college mess was also pretty average. Since Symbiosis Lavale Campus is situated on the hills, you don't get many options to have food. You can have only the mess food. However, there is a gym which is pretty good, and the campus was highly active. There were a lot of options for students in sports and cultural activities. Our college has a pool, massive football ground, squash court and a badminton court.

Really good experience and would definitely recommend this college.

Infrastructure: The facilities are great. No AC in the hostels and you don't need it too because it's pretty chilly most of the time on the hills. The classrooms are great with gallery style seating and projectors and whiteboards. The food is standard and there are other options of food available.

Review of SIMC Pune - Symbiosis Institute of Media & Communication.

Infrastructure: The institute has top-class facilities. The infrastructure of our college is one of the best in the country. Many films have been shot here.

The right mix of academics and co-curricular.

Infrastructure: The campus is very well built and has state of the art facilities. Since it's away from the city commute to the city and back takes a while but living on campus is managed by the authorities. However, a little more access to online food portals, delivery portals, etc. like swiggy, Zomato, big basket, etc. were a great option.

Not a bad college but room for improvement.

Infrastructure: Great infrastructure of industry standards. 3 huge studios as well as photography studios we're present for students to practice and do their assignments. Hostels were brilliant with only one or two person to share with, with an attached washroom. Students and staff were quite nice.

If you wish to join SIMC, think again.

Infrastructure: Infrastructure is mesmerizing when you first look ATIT but then it becomes dull and mundane. It's too far away from the city so travelling is major issue. Boys hostel is leniant but girls hostel have too many rules. Mess and hostel are a little far. The utilities shop inside campus rules a monopoly.

The college campus is on the top of a hill, which has an amazing view. There are more than five colleges and some 1000+ students residing on that luscious green hill. The food quality is good and they serve pure Maharashtrian meals. The breakfast is a must have. The faculty helps you on each step of your course as they are well qualified and make the lecture halls a lot interesting. The best part is the visiting faculty members join the institute mostly during weekends and along with the expe...
