Every year, thousands of passionate sports fans graduate with conventional degrees and spend the next decade watching the industry from the outside. The people inside — running IPL franchises, managing ISL clubs, leading sports brands — got there through the right education at the right place. ISST Pune has been that place for 18 years.
India's sports industry has grown from a passion economy to a multi-billion rupee business. IPL franchises turn over hundreds of crores. ISL clubs employ hundreds of professionals. Sports technology, analytics and media are industries in their own right. The demand for trained sports professionals has never been higher.
The problem is that conventional education was never designed for this world. Universities teach business, science and communication — but not sports business, sports science, or sports communication. ISST was founded to close that gap, and we have been doing it since 2008.
We are India's first institute dedicated exclusively to sports education. Every faculty member comes from the industry. Every curriculum module was written with employers at the table. Every student gets a guaranteed internship — not because we offer it as a promise, but because we have the relationships to make it happen.

Every ISST student gets a guaranteed internship — not a placement office that tries its best, but a contractual guarantee. In 18 years, we have placed every single student. That record does not exist anywhere else in India.
Our BSc and MBA degrees are UGC-approved through Tilak Maharashtra Vidyapeeth. They carry the same legal weight as degrees from any conventional university. You will never be questioned about the validity of your qualification.
All ISST programs carry ISPA student accreditation from Chicago, USA. It is the difference between a local qualification and an internationally recognised credential — a meaningful advantage in any job interview or application.
Our faculty and guest lecturers are not career academics. They are IPL operations managers, ISL marketing heads, Olympic coaches and sports entrepreneurs. The curriculum is shaped by industry, not by textbooks written decades ago.
12,000+ alumni across India's leading sports organisations is not just a number — it is an active network. ISST graduates refer, mentor and hire each other. The people you study with will be the peers and contacts that define your career.
Located at TMV Campus in Kharghar, Navi Pune — directly opposite the Kharghar Metro Station. A modern facility built for sports education, with laboratories, performance spaces and the infrastructure that serious study demands.
Placement at ISST is not a service — it is a system. Over 18 years, we have built relationships with every major sports organisation in India. When our students graduate, employers do not receive a CV from a stranger. They receive a referral from an institution they have worked with for years.
The result is a placement record that no other sports education program in India can match. Our graduates work inside cricket, football, kabaddi, tennis, golf and athletics organisations. They work in sports media, sports brands, sports technology and sports analytics. They work in India, and increasingly, abroad.
