Somaiya Vidyavihar University is reimagining indian knowledge systems for the modern curriculum

New Delhi [India], January 13: Indian knowledge systems are increasingly being recognised as essential to building a holistic, research-driven, and culturally rooted education framework. Somaiya Vidyavihar University (SVU) has taken a structured, institution-led approach to this integration by embedding India’s philosophical, linguistic, historical, and spiritual traditions into formal academic curricula at undergraduate, postgraduate, diploma, certificate, and doctoral levels.

At the centre of this effort is the K J Somaiya Institute of Dharma Studies, supported by Bharatiya Sanskriti Peetham, the Centre for Buddhist Studies, the Centre for Studies in Jainism, Department of (Ancient History, Culture & Archaeology) and the Centre for Indian Knowledge Systems Research. Together, these institutions offer over 40+ academic programmes, including honours options, in disciplines such as Yogashastra, Buddhist Studies, Hindu Studies, Jain Studies, Ancient Indian History, Culture and Archaeology, and Ancient Languages and Literature. Classical languages, including Sanskrit, Pali, Prakrit, and Tibetan, are taught as living scholarly tools, enabling direct engagement with original texts and traditions.

Somaiya Vidyavihar University’s academic model emphasises both depth and application. Programmes integrate the study of classical scriptures, philosophy, archaeology, aesthetics, and ethics with research methodology, fieldwork, internships, and experiential learning. Students participate in heritage tours, archaeological site visits, museum studies, archival training, outreach projects, and yoga-based wellness practices, ensuring that theoretical learning is reinforced through practice. Disciplines such as Yogashastra combine philosophical foundations with anatomy, psychology, therapy, nutrition, and applied yoga sciences.

Active collaborations with organisations such as Godrej Archives, CSMV, Directorate of Archaeology and Museums, Government of Maharashtra, heritage departments, and international universities further strengthen academic exposure and professional readiness.

Interdisciplinarity remains a defining feature of the SVU experience. Students pursuing Indian knowledge disciplines have access to 20+ multidisciplinary minors across design, management, music, psychology, life sciences, literature, sports, and cultural studies. Strong research output, international student participation, and a scholarship corpus of ₹25 crore ensure both academic excellence and accessibility.

New Delhi [India], January 15: With the advent of globalisation in the finance sector, the days of Indian students having limited career aspirations due to local job availability are coming to an end. The finance industry is changing rapidly, and with these changes come many new avenues for students to pursue.

The ACCA qualification is one of the most sought-after professional credentials available today, as it will enable students to gain international experience and skills that are recognised all over the world.

Selecting a career path that is directly linked to what companies around the world are looking for has begun to take precedence over pursuing a traditional business administration degree. In this article, we will discuss how international finance certification programmes, particularly the ACCA, are opening doors for Indian students to obtain high-calibre international positions sooner than they could through traditional degrees.

The Shift in Career Aspirations Among Indian Students

In the last 10 years, career expectations have changed rapidly. Today, most Indian students want the following career advantages:

• Ability to work anywhere in the world.

• The skills that are most needed in today’s job market.

• The ability to get into a high-paying position quickly.

• The ability to have their work recognised internationally.

Very often, a degree from a traditional university does not provide any of these advantages. Employers have shifted to looking for employees with actual knowledge of their field, who meet international standards, and who can produce proof of their professionalism. Relying on an international finance certification can provide the link between education and employment.

What Makes International Finance Certifications So Valuable?

International finance credentials represent a global perspective for international business. These programmes include components that apply to business operations on a global scale and provide access to international accounting standards and finance strategies.

Benefits include:

• Acceptance of the curriculum by the world

• Employer-provided training in specific skills

• Flexible study options during employment or while studying

• Greater earning potential versus a traditional degree

In addition to the above, one of the most popular international finance certifications in India is the ACCA course because it has a structured way of approaching the subject and has greater recognition than other certifications in the same field.

ACCA Course Overview: A Global Finance Qualification

The complete title of ACCA is the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants, which is an international education and credentialing programme providing learners with a thorough grounding in accounting, finance, auditing, taxation, and business strategy; it has received global accreditation from approximately 180 countries around the world.

What distinguishes ACCA courses from others is that ACCA provides both technical and professional skill development. In this regard, ACCA develops individuals so that they equip themselves with both knowledge and ability not only to take their examinations but also to thrive within the professional accounting environment in a wide variety of organisations throughout the world.

How ACCA Fast-Tracks Global Career Opportunities

Not only is the ACCA course an academic degree, but it is also a career-friendly credential. This course gives graduates access to many types of employment internationally, such as Financial Analyst, Management Accountant, Auditor, Tax Consultant, Business Advisor, and  Finance Manager.

• ACCA graduates can also work in a wide variety of industries, including Banking, Financial Services, Insurance, Real Estate and Hospitality.

• ACCA is well known internationally, and because of this, employers from all over the world value the skill set of ACCA professionals.

Industry Recognition and Employer Trust

One of the key benefits of completing an ACCA qualification is the fact that it is globally accredited with respect to meeting employers’ requirements in relation to their workforce. Global organisations, including multinationals, ‘Big Four’ audit firms and many other consulting and banking firms, will recruit ACCA graduates.

An ACCA graduate is a professional trained in the following areas:

• IFRS (International Financial Reporting Standards)

• Strategic Decision-Making

• Ethics and Professionalism

• Risk Management & Performance Measurement

Thus, the Trust that employers have in ACCA professionals represents a significant benefit to students contemplating an overseas position upon completion of the ACCA course programme.

Flexibility That Supports Faster Career Growth

Unlike traditional courses, the ACCA course allows students to create their exam schedule and to be able to study for them regardless of how fast they are able to work. In addition, the ACCA course will allow students to work while they are studying the course.

Flexibility for Indian Students

1. Students can start to earn money sooner.

2. Students will obtain a global perspective sooner.

3. Students will shorten the gap between education and employment.

When students complete the ACCA course, they will usually have had relevant work experience before they complete their studies. Therefore, they will have an advantage over other job applicants.

ACCA vs Traditional Finance Degrees

The traditional degree in India provides foundational knowledge. They may not always match the current industry demand. The ACCA course, on the other hand, is continuously updated to consider global financial trends.

Key Differences:

• The ACCA course focuses on global principles, while degrees are often country-specific

• The full form itself carries professional reliability

• ACCA prepares students for leadership roles, not just entry-level positions

This is why more Indian students are choosing ACCA as a career-focused substitute or addition to their degree.

The Role of ACCA in Building a Global Mindset

One of the often overlooked benefits of the ACCA course is developing a global business mindset. Students can learn to think beyond borders and understand international markets to adapt to and diversify corporate cultures.

It is important for professionals who aspire to work in global finance roles. Knowing the ACCA full form is just the start; living its global approach is what truly sets professionals apart.

Conclusion: A Smarter Path to Global Success

Today, the finance industry is evolving, and so are the career opportunities for students who have completed their ACCA course. Indian students who want to stay concentrated ahead of pursuing international certifications are vital for good career growth.

The ACCA course offers a powerful combination of global recognition and career flexibility, and practical skills. Understanding the ACCA full form will help students appreciate the credibility behind the qualifications. As the new career highway opens wider, international finance certifications like ACCA are clearly the foremost in guiding Indian students toward faster, smarter, and more rewarding global careers.

Bengaluru (Karnataka) [India], January 15: Design today no longer operates at the surface level of aesthetics. It shapes user behaviour, business strategy, digital ecosystems, and organisational change. The Master of Design Programs at the School of Design, Media, and Creative Arts (SDMCA), JAIN (Deemed-to-be University), are structured for those ready to move into design leadership—where insight, research, and responsibility converge. Among evolving master of design courses, SDMCA’s postgraduate offerings reflect the realities of contemporary design practice and future industry demands.

Positioned strongly among master of design colleges in India, SDMCA offers two focused postgraduate pathways—M.Des in User Experience Design and M.Des in Human Centred Design—each responding to how design is shaping products, services, and systems globally. For students and parents evaluating Master of Design courses in India, the emphasis here is not just on advanced learning, but on applied relevance, professional maturity, and long-term career direction.

Two M.Des Programs. One Strategic Design Philosophy

The master of design courses at SDMCA are built on a shared philosophy: design must be human-centred, research-driven, and impact-oriented.

A. The M.Des in User Experience Design focuses on digital interaction, interface systems, usability research, and experience strategy—preparing graduates to design meaningful digital journeys across platforms.

B. The M.Des in Human Centred Design expands design thinking into social systems, services, and organisational contexts. Students engage with real-world challenges, applying empathy-led research and design frameworks to complex human problems. These programs reinforce SDMCA’s standing among best MDes colleges in Bangalore, offering depth rather than dilution within master of design in Bangalore.

Studio-Driven Learning Beyond the Classroom

What differentiates SDMCA among Master of Design colleges in India is its studio-centric pedagogy. Learning unfolds through interdisciplinary studios, collaborative projects, live industry briefs, and research-led exploration. Students are encouraged to question assumptions, test frameworks, and translate insights into tangible design interventions.

This approach strengthens the credibility of SDMCA among best M Design colleges in Bangalore, where postgraduate education must go beyond theory. The learning environment ensures that master of design courses in India offered here remain grounded in professional realities rather than abstract frameworks.

As Dr. Sujay Nair, Director –School of Design Media and Creative Arts, JAIN (Deemed-to-be University), notes:
“At the postgraduate level, design education must develop strategic thinkers. The M.Des programs at SDMCA are structured to build design leaders who understand users, systems, and the long-term implications of design decisions.”

Campus Life That Enables Creative Exchange

Postgraduate design education thrives in environments that promote dialogue, collaboration, and cultural exposure. Campus life at SDMCA supports this through design showcases, interdisciplinary engagements, research forums, and peer-led initiatives. These experiences shape confidence, communication, and professional identity—qualities parents increasingly value when assessing master of design in Bangalore.

Such exposure also reinforces SDMCA’s recognition among best MDes colleges in Bangalore, where learning extends beyond studios into a larger creative ecosystem that mirrors professional practice.

Careers, Placements, and Entrepreneurial Pathways

Graduates of SDMCA’s master of design courses pursue roles across UX strategy, service design, design research, product innovation, and design consulting.

Equally important is SDMCA’s emphasis on entrepreneurship. Students interested in launching design studios, consulting practices, or innovation ventures receive mentorship and exposure to startup ecosystems. This balance of placement and entrepreneurship strengthens SDMCA’s standing among master of design colleges in India and enhances the long-term value of master of design courses in India.

According to Mr. Saurabh Kumar, Chief Manager – Admissions & Marketing, JAIN (Deemed-to-be University) and JAIN College:
