SCMC Experience
Being a person who is interested in art and design, I
was looking forward to the course in Aesthetics and
Visual Communication. From day one, my perception of art
and design radically changed for the better. Before
SCMC, I always looked at all artwork
from a spectator's point of view. This class taught me
to look from the creator’s perspective.

Every day at SCMC is filled with opportunities to learn
more,
inculcate new values and gain great insight. Here we are
urged
to go beyond the drawn map, explore new ideas and understand
the
greatness of simple wonders.
Rhea
Fernandez (Batch 2020)
This is a place where creative minds collaborate and you
learn
through others’ experience more than yours. The people you
meet
at SCMC are your biggestasset. You’ll be intimidated at
first,
but if you rise above it, you’re a challenger.

Mittal (Batch 2019)
Today, I am what I am because of the challenges this
institution
helped me overcome and take those learnings forward in my
life.
I am thankful and proud to be a part of this institution.
Ankita
Chawla (Batch 2019)
SCMC has
changed me in more ways than I can count. I was never
more exposed to so many opportunities before. This college
also
gave me the confidence to take them up so I could savor the
taste of accomplishment.
Zubiya
Athavani (Batch 2019)
Today I am a graduate
from
this institute. Standing at the end of this bridge I am
extremely happy about the decision I made. For all those who
are
standing on the other end of the bridge (the start), work
hard,
keep a track of the time and be honest.

Symbiosis Centre for
Media &
Communication ensures that aspiring journalists are given
exposure to the various kinds of media in which Journalism
flourishes. Our professor had always given us hands-on
experience, where he would send us out in teams to find and
edit
stories for in-class assessments…
Sujitha
Sundaram (Batch 2018)
One of the best things
this
college has given me is the friends I have today. All of the
people I surround myself with have helped me in ways I could
have never imagined. I came across people who constantly
inspire
me, teach me, and push me to be better; to be the best
version
of myself and I am really grateful for it.
Vishnu
Venugopalan (Batch 2018)
Before one knew it, from
young students, we had transformed into mature
professionals.
Stepping into workplaces made us realise how well we’d been
groomed, and the upper hand we had with so much work,
knowledge
and skill to show for ourselves.
Saloni

(Batch 2018)
This institute has
taught me
everything when it comes to looking at life with the ‘RIGHT’
perspective. As I step into the media industry as an
aspiring
Sports Journalist, I know I always have the support of my
peers
and my teachers.
Rohan
Shukla
(Batch 2017)
When I first decided to
pursue my career in the field of Journalism, in India, my
parents were worried I wouldn’t fit in...As I look back at
the
three years that I’ve spent at college, I am glad that I
left
the protective cocoon. Every obstacle made me stronger and
I’m
thankful for the support I got here, from my friends,
professors
and my seniors.

SCMC-UG has taught my daughter more than just her chosen
course.
She couldn't stop talking about college. I must admit I was
more
than a little worried when I took the decision to send her
out
of town to pursue her education. Today I can rest assured
that
my child is in safe hands.
