Symbiosis School of Economics is located at the hillside campus of Symbiosis International University on Senapati Bapat Road in Pune city. It shares the campus along with four other Symbiosis colleges, namely, Symbiosis Law School, Symbiosis Institute of Health Sciences, Symbiosis College of Arts and Commerce, Symbiosis College of Nursing and Symbiosis School of Liberal Arts.[4]
The college is under the jurisdiction of Symbiosis International University.[1] The management committees of the University plan the major issues of planning, development and supervision of academics.[5] The Principal Director of Director of Symbiosis School of Economics is Vidya Yeravdekar.[6] The Director is Dr Jyoti Chandiramani who is also the Dean of the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, Symbiosis International University.[7]

Besides this, the College is responsible for many academic facets of Symbiosis International University including designing the Ph. D. course work, formulating and conducting classes for the doctorate program of the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences. It also offers a Certificate Course in Quantitative Techniques.[1]
The Institute, though newly-raised, has gained status as is evident from thousands of aspirants for the undergraduate course who sit for the highly competitive written examination. In 2011, around 10,000 applicants of those who sat for SET applied for the SSE. Out of the successful candidates around 300 students were shortlisted for Group Discussion/Personal Interview (GD/PI) at various centers, with only 112 making the grade.
The international collaborations of SSE include the London School of Economics, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore & others. It also has an internationalization student exchange programme with Canada.[1] The school also conducts national conferences, cultural fests as well as organizing outbound programs for student development.
Symbiosis School of Economics organized its first national level conference on February 17-18, 2011. The topic of the conference was Urban Policy and Planning: A case perspective of Pune.[17][18] The conference had 9 tracks that dealt with issues around formation of urban policies and planning initiatives throughout the country with special focus on Pune. Students along with faculty members were also involved in pre-conference research work which sought to promote greater understanding and better learning for students.[17]
SSE organizes various cultural events for the purpose of overall development of students which includes the official college festivals as well as other activities. The first festival organised named Eclectic Paradigm was held in 2010 as an intra-collegiate fest. It was a precursor to the annual inter-collegiate festival that was started a year later, i.e. Laissez Faire, and was open to all colleges and the general public.[19] The term Laissez-faire was selected being an economics term denoting free-market conditions and also because the letters "SSE" are present within the term.
