“Problems are not stopping signs, they are guidelines”. The most fascinating thing about the Symbiosis Institute of Health Sciences is the day to day challenges which a student has to face throughout the MBA program. Be it a classroom assessment, Pandharpur Wari, PHC visits, Summer Internship program, academic project presentation, or the campus placements, they were all opportunities to learn how to solve your day to day problems and develop future managers to drive the Indian Healthcare sector. I would like to thank the placement cell and all the faculties who were helpful by giving the required training and resolving all the queries with patience even for the most trivial doubts. Finally, I am extremely proud to be part of this wonderful journey and to beknown as a Symbian!

One of the most interesting stages in life that gives you an opportunity to explore is the ‘college phase.’ Life at college is the time when the teenage years end and we all dive deep into the ocean of new beginnings and possibilities. This golden period better equips you for all the challenges you’ll face in life and creates a strong foundation of knowledge. My experience at SIHS has taught me one fundamental thing – life is unpredictable. It might be good, it might be bad, it might be weird, and it might not interest you, but expect anything to happen.College life prepares you for all of this. It is a perfect blend of joy and hardships. You meet different people, you interact with them, you learn about their cultures and grow as a person. You will understand how to talk to different people, how to judge their behavior, thus helping you with important life skills. Life at SIHS is an enriching experience which equips students to lead in any path they choose, be it a job or an entrepreneurial venture.
