Sikkim University is building a world-class campus on a plot of land measuring 300 acres at Yangang in the South District of Sikkim and located 56 kilometers from Gangtok. The Government of Sikkim handed over a major portion of land for the purpose and the former President of India, Shri Pranab Mukherjee, in his capacity as the Visitor of the university, laid the foundation stone of the campus on April 16, 2013 in the august presence of the Governor and the Chief Minister of Sikkim.

Sikkim University has nine hostels – four for girls and five for boys. The hostels are located on hired premises, and the infrastructure is modest. Further expansion of hostel facilities is not possible due to difficulty in finding appropriate space and availability of wardens. Demand for seats in these hostels is very high. While the University makes utmost efforts to accommodate as many applicants as possible it cannot ensure 100% accommodation in its hostels. Admission to hostels will be provided for one semester subject to renewal on compliance with hostel rules and regulations of the University. Application for admission to hostel accommodation can be made online at the time of filling out the online admission form. Hostel accommodation is based on merit, availability of seats, departments, and the reservation policy of the Govt. of India. No applicant from areas in and around Gangtok is eligible for hostel accommodation.
