South Asian University (SAU) is an international university established by the eight member nations of South Asian Association for Regional Co-operation (SAARC) viz. Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan and Sri Lanka.
SAU started its operations from the academic year 2010. The university now offers post-graduate and doctoral programmes in various disciplines that include Economics, Computer Science, Biotechnology, Mathematics, Sociology, International Relations and Law. It will ultimately have 11 post-graduate faculties and a faculty of undergraduate studies. SAU attracts students from all member nations and its degrees are recognised by all the eight SAARC countries.
The University has now shifted to its permanent campus on Rajpur Road in Maidan Garhi, South Delhi.
It gives me immense pleasure to share with you some developments and achievements that have marked a period of growth and excellence for South Asian University. As an institution built on the foundation of regional cooperation and academic excellence, we continue to thrive, thanks to the confidence and support of the SAARC member states.
Our journey is one of collaboration and shared vision, and the commitment of SAARC member states is a testament to the trust they place in us. Their continuous support empowers us to reach new heights in education, research and innovation.

I had a great opportunity to get the taste of multicultural diversity of different nations around this region. The university provides an environment where people can share their views, ideas, and joys and can get the opportunity to know each other very firmly.

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.
