Distance Learning is the education of the 21st century. The traditional method of teaching in a classroom called “brick and mortar” education has failed to reach millions of those who are thirsty for getting knowledge in an age marked by “Knowledge Revolution”. Recognizing this need, Symbiosis established a novel institute called “Symbiosis Centre for Distance Learning (SCDL)”. SCDL was born in 1994 as a “Correspondence Section” of Symbiosis Institute of Management Studies (SIMS) for Defence Personnel and their dependents.

In the year 2001, SCDL was established as a separate institute offering courses through the medium of distance education, providing an opportunity to thousands of students to enhance their careers and lives. The vision of SCDL is to create a “World Campus” where any one is able to learn and achieve their dreams for higher education and enhanced career. The mission of SCDL is to provide every student with a means for “Self-paced, Self-styled learning” anywhere, anytime. SCDL has grown exponentially in the last four years attracting students from all states of India and from more than 20 foreign countries.

Today, SCDL has an active student strength of over 60,000. SCDL has been introducing new courses each year and establishing facilities, services and technologies to assist the student community. In the past 3 years, SCDL has gained tremendous popularity not only amongst fresh graduates seeking higher education but also amongst working professionals from the corporate and administrative sectors.

The emphasis on improving the quality of education and students services has been the main reason for this popularity. SCDL diplomas are widely recognized and accepted by the industry and in fact, SCDL has become the “preferred education provider” for several top companies nationwide such as IBM, Cognizant, Wipro Spectramind, Sahara Group, Reliance Infostreams, CSC India etc. Today, SCDL is located over 5800 Sq.ft. area in the heart of Pune city. SCDL boasts of one of the finest interiors with state of the art infrastructure attracting not only students but also several companies who pay a visit to look at the interior design of SCDL.

Post Graduate Diploma Programs, PGDBA, PGDHRM, PGDIB, PGDIT and PGDIM offered by SCDL are recognized by Distance Education Council, Govt. of India
