Rhenock College Basgharii.

Placements: Actually, its a government college, so basically you cannot expect placement from this college, you will be better off opting for higher studies and then further find a suitable job for yourself. Psychology department has no placement history so far, most people opt for higher studies.

Basghari college rhenock.

Placements: In a government college, there is no such thing as placement in our college. You have to go do M.A. too, and in the arts, its really hard to get placement, it depends on you and you only. You cannot expect placement after passing with horrible grades. Keep the hard work and dont expect from college.

Liked because of the infrastructure and teachers.

Placements: Placements for history are quite subjective, especially in Sikkim. However, we can enroll for a museum guide position with a fair package locally, and also go for archaeology, which offers up to 4 LPA in salary. The recruiting companies for history are not public, so it is quite hard to find them.

Absolutely disappointed by the campus structure.

Placements: No roles or placement were offered. There were total 30 students and not even one of them got any placement. Not only placement but no students got any internship at any local or known place which was again very disgusting about this university.

Himalayan Pharmacy Institute, a college of pharmacy that provides best education and knowledge.

Placements: The placement percentage is 100% in our college, as there are many pharma industries in that region. Highest package is around 4 LPA, average is 3 to 3.5 LPA, and lowest is 3 LPA. Top recruiting companies include Cipla, Alembic, and Zuventus. Most of the students who applied got an internship and a job at these companies. Top roles offered are in Quality Control, Production, Packaging, and Accounting.

I am extremely satisfied with this university.

Placements: Sikkim University provided 100% placement. It provided good quality education. It had well-disciplined students in university. I think this university had proper value for money and time. It also gives job facility like banking, etc.
