What Students Say

Likes

The faculty are well experienced and they try their best to give their most to the students by utilising the most of the resources available.
The fee structure varies from course to course and scholarship is provided by ugc and state governments and the university also provides certain incentives for meritorious students and there are employment opportunities if one is qualified for the post.
The campus life was great, we had a huge library, canteen to hang out, read and get connected with students from other departments.

Dislikes

Every year a sports event is held known as ramilo sukhim but we have to go to different places for each event due to lack if campus facilities.
The management department is in such place where there is no canteen of shops near by.
No proper campus, classes, hostels and programs run on rented buildings which delay implementation of new facilities or schemes

Honest my review

Likes

Teacher la are very good smooth paper work of any kind in there university office
Staffs are very good very helpful and the people of Sikkim are very friendly and welcoming for the students

Dislikes

Main thing is that there is no campus but they are making it sure it will be good if they complete the construction
There no internship program at my department
Various departments are very far from each other

Course Curriculum Overview:

It was diverse and more likely never heard of but it was nice I came to know about war and peace why war happens and why peace is very important, how society works, how religion works everything I don't know how good does this curriculum prepares you for real world but gives you more refined knowledge to understand the world. There is always room for improvement in very field that is why our world is changing day by day it improvement afterall. Faculty have come together and find new and imaginative ways to teach so students can understand well. Per semester main exams difficulties are not there if you study not 8 hours a day but understand the concepts.

The food and the environment of Sikkim is very good . ..the food is good One of the highlights of my college life has been the diverse and high-quality food options available near the university

Dislikes

one thing I find challenging is the unpredictable weather, especially the rain. The frequent downpours can sometimes put a damper on the day, making it difficult to get around campus without getting soaked.
Without a physical campus, the challenges posed by the frequent rain and unpredictable weather become even more pronounced. Students are often left navigating between temporary facilities or off-site locations, which can be particularly frustrating d
The last one is the medium of teaching..

Course Curriculum Overview:

The professors are really good and very in-depth about what they teach . They give us handsom experience and they send us to internship and other practical activities which is very good and interesting at the same time

I chose this course because I was interested in pursuing my Masters's with English Hons. The faculty members were all intellectual and supportive. The strength of my class was 38. Our HOD was Prof. Rosy Chamling, who is also the Dean School of Language and Literature. The exams took place twice in a year with four sessionals and two semesters.
