The South Asia University is situated in the city of:
New Delhi
The South Asian University is an international institution rather than a national one, and the question asks where it is located.
It is situated in New Delhi. The university was established by the eight member states of the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation - India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Bhutan, the Maldives and Afghanistan - and began functioning in 2010. India, as host country, provides the campus and meets the larger share of the capital cost, while all member states contribute to the operating expenses.
Its distinguishing feature is that it is sponsored jointly by the member governments and serves the region as a whole. Students are admitted from all the SAARC countries under a quota system, and the degrees it awards are recognised in every member state on a par with those of national universities. The aim is to build regional understanding and a shared pool of expertise through education.
Colombo, Dhaka and Kathmandu are all capitals of SAARC member states and are offered as plausible alternatives, but the university's campus is in the Indian capital.
Hence the South Asian University is situated in New Delhi.
