A short summary of Sikkim Manipal Institute of Technology.

Placements: There is an average placement of approx 55%, and the highest package received last year was 54 lakhs per annum by Google. The average package was 6 lakhs per annum, and the top recruits were Amazon, Dell Technologies, Shell, etc. The college has a decent placement.

Infrastructure: Amidst the beautiful valleys of Sikkim, we have this college situated, which provides the perfect ambiance for studies. The hostels are quite decent compared to other colleges, and the main advantage is having personal bathrooms. The quality of food in the mess is also good, where a diverse menu is followed.

Faculty: The faculty members are good overall, but the best and most qualified ones are in the Mechanical and Computer Science branches. The classes are engaging and very much application-based, especially the course offered in the CSE department, which is very helpful when it comes to real-world problems. The examination is very good, with a level that is moderate to difficult. The pass percentage would be approximately 60 percent.

Other: I chose this college as it provides great education at an affordable fee, and the lustrous green campus and serene and peaceful environment attracted me to join this institute. The overall experience of being a student is great. There are issues of connectivity due to being located in the mountains, but it provides great scholarships and has a great gender ratio where everyone is treated equally, and the surrounding area is also safe for women.

Total experience and review by an ex student.

Placements: The Computer Science branch in our college has the highest placement rate compared to other branches. The placement for Computer Science is excellent, while civil, mechanical, and electrical branches have relatively poor placement. However, many teaching companies also come for placement in the CS branch. CS students have the highest placement rate in the college, standing at 97%.

Infrastructure: The hostel provides Wi-Fi, along with various facilities such as classrooms, playgrounds for cricket and football, a complex with a gym, snooker, table tennis, basketball court, auditorium, and a food court. Additionally, there is a swimming pool, amphitheater hall, court, library with a stationary shop, and a dispensary for health issues.

Faculty: The teachers lack helpfulness, but the course is highly relevant and regularly updated with industry-ready skills. Although the semester exams are challenging, with proper studying, passing them becomes manageable. However, the teaching proficiency and fluency of the faculty are questionable, and there is a noticeable bias and disappointing lack of care for students' needs. The overall quality of teaching is superb.

Other: During holidays, college can be quite dull as there are limited nearby options for entertainment and relaxation. To truly enjoy yourself, you would have to travel to Gangtok, which is approximately 40 kilometers away. Additionally, there are numerous insects at night and a nearby river that can be dangerous during periods of high water flow.

Overall, the college is good.

Placements: Almost 75% of students were placed in very good hospitals and with a very good package. The highest package that our seniors got is 6 LPA. Everyone gets an internship from our course in Manipal Hospital itself and different, different hospitals and the top role offered in our course is a physiotherapist.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure is very large, labs got real cadavers and everything that's needed and the campus is also big; wifi is available, and classrooms are clean, tidy and big. We got a very big library, and we even got digital libraries when students can stay back and study

Faculty: The teachers were really helpful and they are highly qualified; everyone is a specialist on their specific subjects and the teaching quality is A+. The semesters exams are hard in this college; the pass percentage is about 80% and yes, the course curriculum is relevant.

Other: I've chosen this course because. I simply wanted to be a physiotherapist and here it is the best. We get real cadavers and the bones that really help a physiotherapist to study and the timing should be better as 9-5 is too much for a student. Events and festivals are often here . The connectivity is good and extracurricular activities are done time to time.

It has really good infrastructure and is a very satisfying college.

Placements: Our course consists of 4 and a half years, where the first 4 years are for theory—2 years for fully theory and 2 years for theory as well as clinical postings. The other half of the year is for internships. In our 2024 batch, we have 55 students in total from different states.

I am happy with my decision to this college as it is better than my expectations.

Placements: The college is overall good for me. Students in our batch are less than 15. We usually get offers for internships from the 3rd year. I am currently in my 2nd year, I can't say anything about placements. After completing a B.Sc. in mathematics, students get many options in different sectors like business, banking, etc.

Infrastructure: Our college provides facilities and infrastructure. The whole campus is Wi-Fi enabled. Students can go to the library for studies. Classrooms are well-maintained. There are labs for every department. In the hostel, students get two choices to stay one for single and one for double. Students get a gym, a swimming pool, and an indoor court for basketball and badminton. Students can use an outdoor court as their choice.

Faculty: Lecturers and professors are well-qualified. Teachers in our department are very helpful in both academic and non-academic fields. The rule of exams is that there are 2 semesters every year, and in each semester, 2 sessional exams are conducted for 50 marks, and 2 quizzes are conducted for 10 marks.

Other: I chose B.Sc. math because only a few members graduated in mathematics in my state. I face less number of challenges as there are more opportunities in my state for students to complete graduation in mathematics.
