What Our Students Have To Say
With the best of the oriental and occidental learning, I can see myself grow into the leader I always dreamt of becoming. Being a proficient CA with an All India Rank of 44, I have the chance to practically implement my learning, which is much more valuable than the rank itself. The diverse student community at SSU offers the opportunity to leverage our domain knowledge through forums where students share with others their acumen in a particular field.
The most prominent add-ons are the avenues of personal growth, which are unimaginable in any other campus I have known (including the IIT where I studied). I am working on my venture of green buildings and here I have all the support I could have asked for. There is a dedicated faculty, supportive culture among students and the Art of Living network which offers a nurturing environment for entrepreneurs.

The course offers an ideal blend of academics and fieldwork. As part of our fieldwork, we also had the opportunity to visit surrounding villages. That was when I began to understand village life, its problems, and dynamics. It inspired me and strengthened my conviction to work for rural development. I believe that a good politician has to be dynamic outside and calm within and Sri Sri University is the best place to learn to become a good leader.
