ELTIS

ELTIS was the first institute started by Dr. S. B. Mujumdar, Founder and President of Symbiosis. It was started to help the International Students acquire a good command of the English language, so as to facilitate their higher education through English medium. From a modest beginning in 2 small rooms with 2 teachers, it has now grown to the stature of one of the best language schools of India. It is today a proud department of Symbiosis International (Deemed University) (SIU) re-accredited with “A++” grade by NAAC (National Assessment and Accreditation Council). It imparts English Language training to 5500+ Indian students every year. International students learn English as a full-time foundation course with us.
