Sikkim Manipal Institute of Medical Sciences (SMIMS) does not guarantee 100% placement for its graduates, as medical placements are often determined by a variety of variables including individual performance, specialization, and demand in the healthcare market. SMIMS alumni, on the other hand frequently find work in prestigious institutions, the government healthcare sector or pursue postgraduate courses and super-specializations. The institute's collaboration with Central Referral Hospital gives substantial clinical experience, which improves employability. While most students successfully pursue professions in clinical practice, academia, or research, actual placement figures may vary from year to year.
