They say SAU is a research-oriented university. And it truly is. I spent two years at SAU and one of the things which gives me a comparative advantage at the job market is the ability to do quality research. The emphasis on assignments at SAU teaches you everything about research. Adding to this, SAU graduates are South Asian experts through experience and interaction with SAARC students.

Having been a student of the first batch, I have no doubts in saying that South Asian University has perhaps one of the best Masters programmes in Law in India. The placement rate has been high with most students getting placed in academics, research, judiciary or public services. Many of them have even gone back to their respective countries to join policy-making nstitutions. It feels really good to be a part of the prosperous smaller world of the South Asian community.

SAU helps you do Sociology in a creative way. It engages you with the everyday and lets you have a dialogue with it making vivid that ‘sociology’ is out there in your vicinity rather than confining you to the academic texts alone. In short, the experience of studying sociology at SAU has been engrossing and fascinating!
Initially, when I joined, the place looked difficult and people strange, but now, if you ask me how do I feel about the place? I would say, “if ever I’m given a chance to re-live any part of my life, it would be these two years at SAU” Studying and living here somehow makes that essence of South Asia a part of you forever. I listen to more of Afghan music now, watch more Pakistani serials and have this grave desire to be well-informed about the region and be connected to its people.
