The world has started to witness the penalty for unsustainable lifestyles and patterns of production and consumption. As the human population is exploding, resources are shrinking.
Concerns loom everywhere, from declining pollinators affecting food security to air and water pollution affecting the quality of life, and land shortage and degradation affecting both agriculture and biodiversity.
These are just some examples of the results of unsustainability. This is an important moment to find solutions for sustainable living, in harmony with Mother Earth.
India is home to one-sixth of the world’s people and it has the densest population. It also has the second-largest population after China, which it will surpass in less than a decade if current trends continue. India is a country full of diversity and contradictions. While per-capita emissions are amongst the lowest in the world, it is also the third biggest generator of emissions. Despite being the third-largest economy in the world, India also has the largest number of people living below the international poverty line. Because of this sheer size and rapid growth, sustainability is a challenge. In spite of these challenges, India is a conscious aspirant. It has shown leadership in combating climate change and meeting the Sustainable Developmental Goals (SDGs), as is reflected in many of its developmental schemes. India is one of the least wasteful economies. It has frequently been acknowledged by stakeholders for its cooperation and efforts to promote climate change mitigation, and environmental sustainability; this has been through policy measures, dialogue facilitation between nations, and taking decisive steps, especially after India emerged as a key player in shaping the Paris Agreement, along with adopting energy-efficiency measures. There is no alternative to sustainable development. While Indian culture has the ethos for sustainable management of natural resources– namely, reuse, reduce, and recycle. Sustainability has always been a core component of Indian culture. Its philosophy and values have underscored a sustainable way of life. Since India is committed to sustainable development as an agreed goal of the UN, every sector is trying to internalize the practice of sustainability.
Youngsters should be involved because their future is critically at stake, with global warming and climate change knocking at the door.
India is strongly committed to the Sustainable Development Goals (2030), wherein most goals directly or indirectly are linked with natural resources and their sustainable management. In order to understand and implement these goals, there is an increasing need for experts in natural resources and sustainability. India’s National Action Plan on Climate Change (NAPCC) has eight missions that can be implemented in a consultative manner by engaging multi-stakeholder groups such as experts from industry, academia, and civil society. With the introduction of CSR, corporates are involved in activities such as education, health, environmental sustainability, gender equality, and vocational skills development. Transition to a greener economy has tremendous employment Potential of creating millions of jobs directly & indirectly.
Hence, we need more experts and skilled professionals in environmental sustainability, particularly in sustainability reporting. The skills mismatch is identified as the key obstacle to building an environmentally sustainable & low carbon economy. The right skills need to be incorporated into education to support an environmentally sustainable Economy. The education in the domain needs to be combined with hands-on experience. Symbiosis Skills & Professional University (SSPU), Pune, is Maharashtra’s first skill development university established with a vision to provide skill-based education in high-growth sectors. SSPU has been enacted under the Government of Maharashtra Act in 2017. It is set up on a sprawling sustainable campus located near Pune. The unique feature of this University is the Centre of Excellence and Learning factories established in collaboration with top industries.
Symbiosis Skills and Professional University is planning to establish a School of Sustainable studies to cater to the same. Interdisciplinary programs for sustainability studies in the following domains:
- Solar Energy
- Wind Energy
- Hydro Energy
- Climate Change and Environmental Science
- Renewable Energy
- Waste Management
- Green Transport
- Green Construction
Specialist abilities, such as the application of clean energies, carbon capture, and storage, are in high demand, providing more job prospects for green, conventional and solar energy engineers.

- Passed 10+2 examination with Physics and Mathematics as compulsory subjects along with one of the following subjects namely Chemistry / Biotechnology / Biology / Technical Vocational subject. Obtained at least 45% marks and 40% in case of candidate belonging to reserved category( Maharashtra Domicile only) in the above subjects taken together.
OR Passed Diploma (in Engineering and Technology) examination with at least 45% marks and 40% in case of candidates belonging to reserved category( Maharashtra Domicile only).
OR Passed 10 + 2-year full-time vocational education course offered by MSBVE as per GR – VOC – 2012/591/25A/dtd. 28th Sept. 2012. - Obtained at least 45% marks (40% in case of candidates belonging to reserved category ( Maharashtra Domicile only), in case of reserved categories and Persons with Disability candidates belonging to Maharashtra State only) in the above subjects taken together. and
- If a student has not appeared for any state / national level entrance exam for admission to B.Tech The program, he/she is required to appear for an entrance test conducted by the respective engineering schools of SSPU.
- We accept JEE/MHT CET/any state-level entrance test score/PERA/SAT//Common University Entrance Test (CUET) scores.
While deciding the eligibility of the Candidates following procedure shall be adopted–
(a) The percentage of marks shall be calculated by rounding off to the nearest integer. i.e. if the percentage of marks comes out to be 44.50% to 44.99% then it shall be rounded to 45% and if the percentage of marks comes out to be 44.01% to 44.49% shall be rounded to 44% for deciding the eligibility.
(b) In case the maximum marks in an individual subject is other than 100, the marks will be converted out of 100 for the individual subject without rounding, If the sum of the converted marks of individual subjects without rounding off works out to be a figure with fraction then fraction up to two decimal places shall only be considered for calculation of the percentage of marks considering maximum marks as 300 and, If the percentage comes infraction, then rounding off shall be done as above to decide the eligibility.
NRI / International Students
A candidate who has completed XII (10+2) or equivalent examination from any Foreign Board must obtain an equivalent certificate from the Association of Indian Universities (AIU). All foreign qualifications need to be verified by the Association of Indian Universities (AIU) by the candidate before seeking provisional admission to any program of Symbiosis Skills and Professional University.
In order to promote International understanding between Indian and Foreign students, SSPU has reserved 5% seats for NRIs/International students in every division.
