Ques

What are the best student organizations or clubs to join at Sikkim Manipal University? Why should students join them?

● Top Answer By Aniket Ghose on 21 May 21

Ans

One of my friends is an alumnus of Sikkim Manipal University. He joined the Photography club as an overly enthusiastic fresher with a 2-megapixel camera and later on forgot all about it for the rest of 4 years of his course. Eventually, he joined several other clubs that made his time at the institute quite enjoyable. Here’s the list of Clubs at Sikkim Manipal University. Technical Clubs: IAESTE - International Association for the Exchange of Students for Technical Experience ISTE - Indian Society for Technical Education IE - MECH IE Civil Systems Society of India (I&C) SAE India Collegiate Club (Society of Automotive Engineers) Akshay Urja Club Non-Technical Clubs: MAFIA - Music and Fine Arts Club Aaina Dramatics Astronomy Club AIESEC - facilitates non-technical internships and projects abroad Rotaract Club - Fundraisers, awareness campaigns, and charity drives Leo Club - Fundraisers, awareness campaigns, and charity drives Blitzkrieg and Showstoppers - Dance Burning Ice - Modelling and Fashion Photography Club Additionally, there are a number of new initiatives like Manipal University Technology Business Incubator (MUTBI), Formula Manipal, SolarMobil, Parikshit, MTTN, etc. It's equally advantageous to be a part of a working group in a couple of clubs.

Can I expect to get into CSE in Sikkim Manipal University (Sikkim branch) with a rank of 19500?

● Top Answer By Jay Sinha on 13 Aug 22

Ques

How is Sikkim Manipal University in terms of campus, infrastructure, crowd, and faculty?

● Top Answer By Harsh Dev on 27 May 21

Ans

Sikkim Manipal University is a decent institute, with a diverse crowd, and some excellent placement records. The points below are a brief overview of all considerable aspects of Sikkim Manipal University. The campus is situated in a remote location. The internal infrastructure is moderate. But, students always head towards a successful career. Companies like TCS, which is a major recruiter of the institute, consider SMIT as a tier-1 institute. Even some NITs are not falling under the tier-1 category. Wells Fargo recruits students from only 4 colleges in India- BITS, RV College, VIT Vellore, and SMIT. This makes it evident that SMIT is popular among MNCs. Several alumni of SMIT are employees in top companies like Oracle, Google, Microsoft, etc. Due to the corporate exposure and reputation established by Well Fargo, it is considered that students from SMIT are quite creative, opportunistic, and energetic in their service. Categories SMIT Course Fee (approx.) 7.85 lakh Placement Percentage (overall) 95% Highest CTC (overall) 24 LPA Average CTC (overall) 5.43 LPA Recruiting Companies Microsoft, Shell, Daikin, Boston Scientific, etc. There may be several problems that you may face in SMIT through the course of 4 years, but in the end, everything comes into place. Therefore, students are left with no regrets, getting an immense set of opportunities from SMIT.

Ques

Is Sikkim Manipal University good for a B.Tech?

● Top Answer By Jiya Banerjee on 28 Sept 21

Ans

No, the administration is not particularly the best at Sikkim Manipal University. I know a few people from the institute and here is what they had to say about the institute. There is a huge locational disadvantage of the university, given the constant issues faced by students. Recently, they have installed an ATM machine. The mess of the institute is not in its best condition. It is run by local people. They do not especially get concerned about the complaints students usually submit. The quality of food is not good even though they take exorbitant amounts of money for the food. The administration doesn’t take the necessary steps to resolve the issues raised by students. According to one of my friends from the CSE department they were not allowed to take industrial training from other companies. The professors are not gonna invest much of their time in your project. However, your project may get rejected for silly mistakes. Recently, in terms of placement, TCS rejected SMIT, while Amazon only hired students as their interns. The placement scenario is not good. This is everything that you should be aware of before enlisting at Sikkim Manipal University.

Ques

Can I immigrate to Canada if I have a degree from SMU Sikkim Manipal University?

● Top Answer By Vidisha Khanna on 01 Oct 21

Ans

Yes, you can migrate to Canada or any other country even if you have any degree from SMU. The sole criteria for this is not a degree and you must fulfill other eligibility as well. The Comprehensive Ranking System for Canadian immigration is not based on whether you have a regular degree or a distance degree, given that the university must be recognized. SMU is duly recognized by UGC for ODL programs. You can easily apply to Canada. Go for the ECA process at ICAS as they evaluate the application process at SMU. The management authorities are very supportive and they will help you in getting the transcripts.

Ques

Which is better Sikkim Manipal or Manipal University Jaipur?

● Top Answer By Daria Sen on 29 Sept 21

Ans

Both Sikkim Manipal and Manipal University Jaipur are very popular institutes and a lot of students across the country apply for admissions in these institutes. But among these two, choosing Manipal University Jaipur will be a better option especially if you're from North or Central India. Manipal University Jaipur is located in the prime city. They have an excellent faculty, hard-working and cooperative. It has a very competitive environment, which encourages students to do better. The infrastructure is also good, with a study appropriate ambiance. The labs are well equipped and well maintained. Being located in the heart of the city, it enjoys industrial exposure. Many companies participate in their placement program, as it is a preferred location. Placements are sometimes good and sometimes average. Mostly depends on the batch and their overall academic performance. Categories Manipal University Jaipur Course Fee 3.58-11.86 lakh Highest CTC 12 LPA Average CTC 4 LPA Recruiting Companies Microsoft, Wipro, TCS, HP, etc. Hence, choosing Manipal University Jaipur will be a better option as the campus life offered is much better and there is no chaos or fights among the students like Sikkim Manipal.

Ques

Does a degree from Sikkim Manipal University have any value in the future?

● Top Answer By Sakshi Varma on 29 Sept 21

Ans

Manipal University which is based out in Karnataka is the parent organization of Sikkim Manipal University. Manipal University (MU) is well ahead of Sikkim Manipal University (SMU) in terms of placement quality, infrastructure, faculty, and other factors. Many people, on the other hand, believe that Sikkim Manipal is the parent organization of Manipal University in Karnataka. Some people have never heard of the Manipal University of Karnataka, but thanks to aggressive marketing, everyone has heard of SMU. A degree from SMU is worth only half as much as a degree from Manipal University in Karnataka. However, I know some folks who attended SMU and are doing rather well, owing to their abilities rather than the college they chose. In general, SMU is not a great option for your studies. The remote learning or online MBA program, which is promoted and marketed significantly on television, is not nearly as beneficial as it appears. The quality of students who have pursued an MBA program is not up to par, as they lack a degree of confidence and intelligence. So, if you have other possibilities, I would advise you to not choose SMU as it would not prove to be a wise career choice for you.
