Great facilities for students.

Placements: In my university, we had a total of 20 students, and we had the highest course for our studies. We came from various places and started studying and became friends. We had good opportunities for further studies and for jobs. I really liked the students' behavior too.

An honest review of Sikkim University.

Placements: The placement cell is not active for most of the departments in the university. The university campus is located in a remote area, and most of the departments are of the arts stream, so the placement cell is not at all active. However, it is active for some departments in the university.

It does not totally make a person ready for the industry, and the infrastructure is good.

Placements: There were 40 students in each course and we also had 40 students. There are no recruiting companies for our course; they are only for degrees, and further studies have to be done. We don't get internships in our college, and we don't work for the companies while studying in this course. There are no top roles offered.

College is quite small but peaceful.

Placements: Almost 100 students can take admission here. College placements are quite good. Here, around 100% of job placements are there. The highest salary package can go up to lakhs and the average salary offered is Rs. 60,000. Top recruiters are Sun Pharma, Torrent, Zydus, and more companies that offer jobs to the students here. Almost 80% of students get jobs.

The best college to become a pharmacist.

Placements: Students get their placement offers but many refuse. As they open their pharmacy shops. The salary package offered is Rs. 20,000. Many companies visit our college to give placements like Cipla, Torrent Pharma, and many other well-known companies.

If you are just looking for a college to quickly wrap up the college life, you're good to go.

Placements: About 40-50% of the students were placed. The highest package may have been 30 LPA, and the lowest is not known. The top recruiting company last year was Cipla. Around 40% of students got internships from our course in companies like Cipla, V-Guard, etc. The top roles offered in our courses are Drug Inspector, Manager in Industries.
