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. We remain dedicated to upholding this confidence by delivering quality education and fostering an environment that promotes regional harmony and development.

We are proud to announce the successful conduct of the SAARC-wide entrance test. This milestone reflects our commitment to providing a fair and inclusive admission process, ensuring that talented students from across the region have the opportunity to benefit from our world-class educational offerings. The diverse student body at SAU stands as a beacon of unity and intellectual diversity.

In line with our mission to cater to the evolving educational needs of the region, we have introduced new programmes that address contemporary challenges and opportunities. These programmes are designed to equip our students with the skills and knowledge required to excel in their chosen fields.  I record with a sense of pride that the students who have opted to secure admission at SAU this year is more than double of the last year. More than 100% increase in an interval of one year is testimony to the efforts of all at SAU.

Looking ahead, we are excited about the prospect of launching many more innovative programmes that will further enhance our academic footprint and broaden our impact.

Our alumni continue to make us proud as they excel in various domains across the globe. From reputed universities to leading organizations, SAU graduates are making significant contributions and leaving their mark. Their achievements underscore the quality of education and the strong foundation they received at SAU. We are committed to supporting our alumni network and fostering connections that will benefit current and future students.

As we move forward, our vision remains clear – to be a premier institution that not only provides top-notch education but also serves as a catalyst for regional cooperation and development. We are confident that with the continued support of SAARC member states, the dedication of our faculty members, and the enthusiasm of our students, SAU will continue to grow and achieve greater milestones.

Thank you for your continued trust and support. Together, we will shape a brighter future for our university and our region.
