Susri Jena's Review On Sikkim Manipal University - [SMU], East Sikkim

I would rate good but perhaps can be little better management/faculties are co-operative but placement is the one area for improvement.

I chose sikim manipal university as was looking for MBA in HR as my specialization. I just have never thought of any other career options. Yes, I had gone through an interview process where there were PI and GD as part of admission process.

To be very honest the course structure was just made for me. As I got married in the middle of the course, so had not much time for regular studies. There was 4 semesters, starting with general management papaers in first two semesters and the following two semesters had specialization papers.

College doesn't provide any direct internship. Although there were some contacts of our college in some other organizations where many students work to gain practical knowledge. Not sure about the stipend as I have never gone for that.

The placement structure was good companies like BSNL, RELIANCE, MARUTI, JINDAL STEEL, etc provide job opportunites well I am not sure but they offer was in between 2-4LPA. There was 50 placements done out of 175 capacity.

Many events were held by my college.some are technical, cultral and also management related. Technical sessions were more of to improve interviewing and GD skills. Same way yearly cultural program was organized by college to have some dance, singing, face-off events. One of the Management festival, I can tell that we participated in a new branch opening function of ICICI bank.

It was feasible i spent around 70 K for the whole course it was divided equally into four parts and paid before the start of each semester.

Scholarship facility was not available, but loan approaval was easy as the college was tied up with some banks so the banks were providing student loan for this.

As for any other college, the campus life was awesome there was extracurricular activities, like stage show, dance, music, etc happens every year. Gender ratio wise I can say it was 60-40. Regular GDs and debates also carried out by college management.

Well the hostel facility was good .i would rate 7 out of 10 they provide nonvegetarian three day in a week the foods are of good quality every body have their separate bed. Entertainment and sports rooms were also present for refreshments. Dedicated computer lab was there, although very few systems were present but was managible.

We are all attached with social networking site, i.e. facebook a group is created by us and most of us are joined there to share their experience and oppurtunity they have in their organizations.

Although the exams and labs were very frequent but not at all hectic. There was a good break time between consecutive exams. More over most of the exams were scheduled one per day. So we were getting reasonable time for the preparation. For the surprise tests, yes they were hectic as there could be many back to back tests in a single day. But for the semester exams are generally have a good gap between them.

All the faculties were well qualified and understands students interest. Each and every query asked by students are always appreciated and answered by them. More of the classes had practical exmples to understand the concept, hence brings interest in the subject.
