NIT Sikkim Review on different aspects
Placements: If you are capable enough, you'll be getting decent placements. Overall statistics fall about 80% every year with an average package of 9-10 LPA, including 90-95% for CSE, ECE, and 80-85% for core branches like EEE, ME, CE. Some major recruiters are CDAC, CDOT, BEL, NVIDIA, L&T, VEDANTA, GENPACT, DELOITTE, IBM, SLB, HCLTech, and many others as well.
Infrastructure: Operating from its temporary campus at a very remote location of Ravangla, it has seen some advancements in the recent financial year, but the thing that will be problematic is sharing with 5-bedded rooms, so it will be very much tough for you to follow your own routine or studies. But excluding this hostel facility, the rest of the facilities are okay, type. Classrooms are well equipped with smart boards, and labs are also well equipped.
Faculty: Will say it's really hectic. The curriculum for BTECH is to do all the things including theory, practical, viva, mid-term, and end-term exams and projects in the final year as well. Almost 5-6 hours of daily classes and 2 mid-term exams will be there with one end-term. But this is more or less the same in all other IITs and NITs as well. So you can't complain about it.
Other: Enjoy being at one of the most beautiful places in India, surrounded by a serene view of Mt. Kanchenjunga and forests as well. So much peace and zero percent of chaos around you in terms of vehicles or construction. So enjoy your four years being at NIT Sikkim and learn lots of life lessons as well here.

I am satisfied with the placements of this college.
Placements: 80 percent of the students in mechanical engineering department got placement; the highest package was 17 LPA and the lowest package was 5.6 LPA. The top recruiting companies are Mahindra, Bajaj, Maruti, TVS, Deloitte, etc. About 100 percent of students get internships, and 60% are paid internships, and in placement, most of the roles offered are GET.
Infrastructure: NIT Sikkim has a temporary campus but the facilities and infrastructure are good. 24*7 wi-fi and electricity are there and all types of labs are present. Most of the labs are open at night as well, so you can work at night as well. The quality of food is average.
Faculty: Teachers are very helpful, qualified and knowledgeable. They are very supportive and always guide you in your future. The way of teaching is very simple and friendly and the course curriculum is very updated so that students get ready for industry. There is no significant marking .
Other: Mechanical engineering is the evergreen branch that will never disappoint you. With a lot of industry exposure, mechanical engineering always relies on you to do engineering.

National institute of technology Sikkim.
Placements: There are very good placements and internship opportunities at the college, especially compared to the past 4 years. Over 70% of students are placed through campus recruiting, and there are many campus recruitment drives.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure is good, but compared to other college campuses, it is very small. However, for this region, having this many resources is very good. The campus is beautiful, with a view of Mount Kanchenjunga.
Faculty: The faculty is very good. They are interactive and friendly with students. Many faculty members guide students in every situation and are approachable. There are also faculty members with whom students can share their personal problems.

College Experience in NIT Sikkim.
Placements: The placements were different for different years. Like for this year in recession our college had a good placement record. Some of the top recruiters in our college are Infineon, Nvidia, Deloitte, etc. Our college always has 100% internships for the year.
Infrastructure: Facilities are available in abundance irrespective of the fact that our college currently has a temporary campus. The instruments and machines are available for every department. The quality of facilities is also quite good. We have a sports committee for managing sports activities.
Faculty: Teachers in our college are all Ph.D. or post doc. So, all faculty are qualified, and their way of teaching is also quite good. The course curriculum is like for GATE. The course curriculum is such that there are heavy theoretical subjects and also interesting numerical-solving subjects.

We have good placement. Good companies are visiting like C-DAC, C-DOT, BEL,etc.
Placements: In my batch, more than 80% of students got placed. The highest package is INR 20 LPA. And most of them got placed in companies like L&T, RELIANCE, C-DAC, and C-DOT. I am from the EEE branch, and in my branch, all students got placed. Most students get internships in good companies, and many students get internships in PSUs like Power Grid, NHPC, etc. If I talk about my department, most of the students got roles as GETs in core companies. As we know, core companies don't offer good packages for freshers, only IT companies offer packages worth more than INR 10 LPA. But core companies are all good and offer roles of our choice.
Infrastructure: Here, facilities are not as per our expectations as NITs should have. There are lots of restrictions on Wi-Fi. We can't watch many YouTube videos. Here, the food quality is very low. Due to the remote area, other facilities are also not good. Teachers rarely motivate us for sports. And if students organise sports, then only we get a chance to play. And once a week, we celebrate Sports Day. 
Faculty: Due to our remote area, we don't have much faculty, and we are having problems getting good knowledge. One teacher has to teach many other subjects. And in some branches, it is very difficult to cross the 8 CGPA mark. We almost have all of the tools we need for practical purposes. Just because we don't have a permanent campus right now, we are having all labs in a small area.
Other: This year, 2023, our college has fest and we called a singer and comedian from outside. We hardly get the chance to have such fest here. After a long time, we celebrated such fest.

Completely satisfied with faculty and campus life.
Placements: Branches like CSE and ECE receive good placement offers, but if we consider the core branches of NIT Sikkim like Mechanical and Civil, the placement rate drops to 50-60%. The location and connectivity of NIT Sikkim also affect the placement rates. However, being in a core branch and supplementing it with some coding increases the chances of placement. In 2023, a student from EEE secured a 44 LPA offer from a software-based company. The overall placement percentage at NIT Sikkim stands at 84%, with a median of 8-9 LPA.
Infrastructure: When comparing the infrastructure of other NITs with NIT Sikkim, it's quite disappointing because NIT Sikkim currently operates from its temporary campus at Ravangla. Despite the temporary campus, it boasts a great location surrounded by mountains and lush greenery. Everything is available on campus except for the hostel for first-year students. Yes, first-year students have to stay outside the campus in Ravangla city. The college provides both bus services and hostels for first-year students. Additionally, Wi-Fi is available on campus but not at the first-year hostel. Enjoy.
Faculty: The faculty and staff at NIT Sikkim are supportive and helpful in nature. With the exception of 1-2 individuals, all teach well. If you're a good student, you won't encounter any issues with the teaching methodology. If you face challenges in any topic, faculty members also allow you to ask for personal assistance within the department.
Other: Overall, NIT Sikkim is good, although the crowd here is very limited. In our branch, there are only 22 students, and the total number of students in our batch is approximately 150. NIT Sikkim also organizes its annual cultural fest called "Udgam" and tech fest named "Abhiyantran." Moreover, various extracurricular activities happen here from time to time.
