Why Indian Students Choose SamSMI
The Registan - One of the World's Most Beautiful Architectural Spaces
The Registan square - framed by three 15th-century tiled madrassas with turquoise domes and intricate geometric patterns - is considered by many architectural historians as the most beautiful public square in the world. Students at SamSMI study in a city where walking to the Registan is a weekend activity. No other university in our entire portfolio offers this kind of architectural magnificence as a daily backdrop.
Alexander the Great, Tamerlane, and Babur All Walked Here
Samarkand's historical visitors include some of history's most consequential figures. Alexander the Great captured it in 329 BCE. Genghis Khan sacked it in 1220. Tamerlane made it his imperial capital in the 14th century. Babur - who later founded India's Mughal Empire - was born nearby. The weight of history in Samarkand is extraordinary and tangible.
