Climate of Ravangla, Sikkim, is very pleasant.

Placements: Every year, the placement cell provides various job opportunities to students by welcoming various companies and industries for the recruitment of deserving students. The average annual package ranges from 2.5-4 Lacs per year. However, in case you don't wanna get into the job you can pursue higher studies in the foreign countries as well.

Infrastructure: As NIT Sikkim is still operating from a temporary campus, hostel facilities are not as per the other NITs. Students are forced to live in 5-bedded sharing rooms, where 5 tables, 5 chairs, 5 almirahs, and 5 beds are provided for each student, but it becomes very tough to follow the individual routine. Mess food quality is poor, and the only reason institute states is that Ravangala is a very remote location.

Faculty: For me, it seems okay. But the question that comes in exams is mostly moderate to difficult. Teaching methods sometimes need to change because they need to understand that all students are not same and to bring them on one page, they need to change their teaching style. The whole semester contains only exam, exam, and exam.

We should come with low expectations as there is no permanent campus, and we need to work hard.

Placements: It has a small campus with connectivity issues. Companies rarely come to hire offline, and mostly they are online. Nvidia offers a good package every year. It hires only 2 to 3 students, and not much. I do not have much idea about it as I am in my first year, still studying and grinding my way.

Infrastructure: The college has good high-speed Wi-Fi. Rarely does it provide grounds for playing. There is no physical exercise. The hostel of 1st year boys is also outside the campus, so there is no interaction with seniors, and seniors here are so egoistic.

Faculty: Teachers are supportive, but the course curriculum is so tiring and hectic. Every month, there are exams. There is no time for extra skills development. Teachers here do not show any leniency towards checking. They just cut marks at a single point, which we miss in our answers.

Other: There are only studies, and students should not come here for a vision to excel in sports, as there is no support from the college. There is also no coding culture, and we should build everything on our own. I suggest not thinking that the fests here would be super cool, as they are just of average level. Fest is organised once a year.
