Sikkim University Gangtok M.Sc Geology: Fees 2025, Course Duration, Dates, Eligibility

The Geology Department is staffed entirely by PhD holders who are well-published, approachable, and provide equal treatment to all students. They maintain good availability for student guidance through various communication channels. With a favorable faculty-to-student ratio of 40:60, the department excels in offering well-structured field trips. While the Geology Department is well-resourced, the Horticulture Department faces faculty shortages. The academic structure includes four exams per semester, with three sessionals and one final exam, considering the best two sessional scores.

The college provides internships with entities like Wadia, the Sikkim government, and the Geological Survey of India, with projects on local geological issues. The fee structure is notably affordable: an overall fee of INR 11,000, hostel fees of about INR 4,000, and a monthly mess fee of INR 1,800. Admission fees are INR 7,200 with a counseling cost of INR 200. Hostel fees for six months are INR 4,700, including a refundable INR 3,000.

A monthly fellowship of INR 3,000 from Sikkim University is available, along with the National Scholarship Portal (NSP) and the ONGC scholarship for geology students. Despite these academic and financial support options, there are no direct placement opportunities in the reviewed department.
