Siliguri Institute of Technology commonly referred to by the acronym SIT is classified as a Second Tier Engineering Institute.

Tier 1 colleges mainly consist of Colleges like IITs, NITs, and other top-ranked private colleges. SIT however is a good choice for students who would like to pursue the course in engineering education in the North Bengal region. It can be a good local school and the learning experience there could be decent, however, it is likely that the research, faculty and even recognition on the national level might be lower or nonexistent compared to the Ivy League colleges.

While SIT offers good placement among the companies which recruit B.Tech IT learners, it does not ensure the application of 100% placement. As per to the information available on the website, B.Tech IT placement percentage is nearly 90-95%. Top recruiters include:

- TCS
- Infosys
- Wipro
- Cognizant
- IBM
- Capgemini
- and others
