Sikkim Manipal Institute of Medical Sciences Gangtok Faculty

The faculty at the university are generally well-qualified, approachable, and supportive, contributing to a good faculty-to-student ratio. There is a guardian teacher system where each teacher oversees 5 to 6 students' academic and personal development, enhancing personalized attention. While the teaching staff is experienced and involved in research programs, some departments like community medicine have more faculty compared to others such as forensic medicine.

The infrastructure includes a super speciality hospital, Central Referral Hospital, on campus. Exams include two sessionals, a pre-university exam, and a semester-end exam, with around a 10% failure rate. There are concerns about the university not meeting advertised standards, with some departments previously lacking proper leadership. Overall, the faculty interaction and support are positive, though there is room for improvement in specific areas.
