students, Semester Exchange students from foreign universities, SCMS students going to
foreign universities and also through various initiatives on campus such as workshops,
certificate programs and guest lectures.

environment Your buddy will be able to show you all typical Indian traditions and is
able to explain why things are the way they are. He/she can also help you out with some
practical issues, Most important, Buddy is fun! Your buddies will be your friends, your
guides, mentors and definitely your hangout peeps. They will make an atmosphere of home
away from home for you.
