What is SMIT to a student?

I can assure you that SMIT provides one of the best college experiences in India. The faculty here are very supportive, they help each student with their doubts, encourages them to be innovative, and contribute their understanding to the research and development in science and technology. The study pattern is very simple over there, every day we have a new thing to learn, that made our subjects more interesting to study. The study procedure is more than just about studies but deeply in knowledge and practicality. There are many labs that support each student to have both theoretical and practical knowledge of all subjects. Our Institute made sure that the whole course syllabus was up to the mark and that each student gets the best education. All the authorities are very supportive, which makes the overall investing four years here worth it.One of most secure campus for girls (follow the SMIT Youtube channel) and the best part is faculty members are staying in the campus. They are always ready to help you even at mid night. You will find yourself in a place ?ÛÏhome away from home?۝.The biggest challenge for an engineering graduate is to get a decent job or a startup or a platform from where he/she can pursue her higher studies right after getting a Degree as he/she would have invested a lot of money, time and hardwork. Very few colleges have infrastructures to meet all these demands and SMIT is one of them.

The course and the curriculum is up to date. The college is known for its academics and values academics and co-curricular activities equally. They also encourage the students to be part of different fests, hackathons, competitions, etc. in all the departments.SMIT has one of the most brilliant professors and faculty members of the nation. They are your teachers, parents and friends. They are ready to help and guide you in all fields and at any time. You have got some great faculties from the likes of IIT, NITs and even IISC.If you are a decent student in academics and your vocal skills are good, you are bound to crack a good job.

The placements at SMIT is respectable. Despite the fact that it is located on a mountain and the fact that the states around it barely have any reputably scaled industry, there is 95% placements for all those who wish to sit for it (despite there being many who quit the placement rounds at the last moment to opt for better opportunities [read: off campus]).However there is a downside to it: Mechanical and Civil departments barely have any good on-campus placements in core companies due to the relatively low sizes of the departments and the fact that, yes we are stuck on a mountain.But then again, you should remember that placements are all subjective. If you have a keep interest on your subject, you can easily shoot beyond Rs.10 lpa and just start a company. Or you can wash-out and end up opening a coffee shop outside the campus gates. It is ultimately, your call.

The life at campus is amazing and mesmerizing. SMIT is surrounded by mountains on three sides and river Teesta on one side, so the view is quite captivating which also provides the student a good environment to concentrate and study. The social life is very good. People are very friendly and helpful. There are also a variety of clubs which include some tech clubs, dance club, the designing club, the music club, etc. All the clubs are very good and the club coordinators are also very interactive. SMIT central library has an excellent collection of 58816 books, 18997 titles, 2500 periodicals along with the following facilities: Lending service, reference service, database searching, digital library, book bank service, question bank service, current awareness service, CD Rom and DVDs, reprographic service, newspaper clippings, Internet service and Wi-Fi, library intranet service.

Sikkim Manipal Institute of Technology

MU OET or MET - 2019 108/200

The process is quite simple and user-friendly. I had to give only an entrance exam, i.e. MU OET or the MET exam. After that, I had a slot booking round in my nearest Manipal campus, where I met some of the faculties too. From there, they guided and helped me to get to the campus safe and secure. On arriving at the campus, we have a registration on the first day and that's all.
