Prime Location
Every idiosyncrasy about SAGE University has its own significance. Firstly, being located at Indore (Central India’s biggest city and commercial powerhouse) is its biggest strength. Situated near to Pithampur, the institute is spread over 25 acres on the bypass road of Indore and surrounded by manufacturing and commercial hubs. Besides this advantage, it harnesses strong associations with nearby SEZs, as well as multiple national & international universities and academic groups to present global exposure to students. Its Wi-Fi connected campus has classrooms equipped with high-end LCD projectors and sound systems to promote seamless learning experiences to students.

Apart from these classrooms, there are two auditoriums with attractive lighting systems, fireproof curtains, big screen with LCD facility, latest sound system and other amenities, and also one seminar hall.

Speaking of the IT labs, the institute has access to state-of-the-art PCs and workstations with uninterrupted internet connection, OS, software suites and commercial programming software so that students can avail them for their project works, multimedia production, software and internet programming. Even the library is well-equipped with a collection of books, journals, periodicals, student projects, other related publications, and online digital libraries from leading providers such as Proquest, Athens, Emerald, ACM and Current Law Journals for both students and staff.

Leaving no stone unturned to create a conducive environment for learning, the institute has also built a cafeteria that not only serves a wide range of sumptuous Asian and Western food & snacks to students, but also is a better spot for them to engage in group discussions and assignments.

To further support these systems, the institute is connected with a network of learning communities so that students can engage in live industry projects and thus gain global exposure on diverse business operations and attitudes.

Further, students can avail extensive training on entrepreneurship to bring their entrepreneurial ideas to fruition while building their oral & written business communication skills and leadership skills.

Of all the crucial factors that attract students towards choosing an educational institution, placements hold great significance. With an unswerving aim to achieve 100 percent placements, SAGE University’s Corporate Relation Cell (CRC), its state-of-the-art facility, offers personality development, campus recruitment and professional etiquette training for students to harness the best possible employment opportunities. CRC’s team of experts meticulously prepares the recruitment schedule every year along with HR teams of different corporate firms. Meanwhile, a stream of training programs, workshops, seminars, and industry interactions & visits are conducted in parallel with one-on-one counseling to help students attend interviews with ease and confidence. Sanjeev asserts, “Every year, nearly 70-80 percent of students get placed in prestigious companies such as Amazon, Impetus, Flipkart, Pantaloon, TCS and others, while 15-20 percent prefer pursuing higher studies or entrepreneurship”.

Students at SAGE University can avail any sort of support, assistance, advice, consultation and essential services from Student Services, its one-stop-center. They can also proactively indulge in extracurricular activities through Sociama Club for social activities, Ae-Dristi Club for digital media, photo shoot & branding activities, Ae-Keerti Club for cultural programs & events, Eklavya Club for sports & games, and Bestage Club for arts & crafts. Besides, the center also conducts outreach events including workshops, talks, career fairs and others at secondary schools nationwide to develop the skill sets of students.

Coming to the aspect of accommodation, the center provides good quality accommodation inside the campus for interested students as well as assistance in renting a private housing or apartment for the rest. Even transportation facilities are available for both students and staff members from the campus to & from all parts of Indore as well as Dewas, Manpur, Dhar, Dhamnod and Ujjain, as per a specific schedule and fee.

Safety, security and hygiene of students are promptly monitored by SAGE University through committees like Students Grievance Cell, SC & ST Committee, Women’s Cell, and Anti-Ragging Committee, in tune with UGC guidelines. The entire campus is protected via dedicated guards who deny entry of outsiders without permission, and also faculty members who stay vigilant.
