B.Tech. in Computer Science and Engineering - Batch of 2029

Offered by SMIT - Sikkim Manipal Institute of Technology, Sikkim Manipal University

4Placements4Infrastructure4Faculty5Crowd & Campus Life3Value for Money

Review from a first year student.

Placements: 70-80 percent of students are placed from my course. The highest package is around 12 LPA, and the lowest is 2 LPA-3 LPA. Microsoft, Dell, Amazon, etc., are recruiting companies. 85-90 percent of students got internships with top recruiters like Accenture, Amazon, IBM, as software engineer, data analysts, and full-stack developers.

Infrastructure: Wi-Fi-enabled smart classrooms, advanced labs, supported by a large library with centralised air-conditioners, 24/7 power backup, hostels with attached bathrooms, a health centre inside the campus, sports complex with pool, gym with multiple activities room.

Faculty: The teachers are very helpful, qualified, and knowledgeable. The teaching quality of the teachers is excellent, and the course is regulated and overseen by UCG. It makes the students industry-ready as the college trains the students for the industry. The semester exams are moderately hard in this college. The pass percentage is 35 percent.

Good infrastructure, a worthy off-campus view, knowledgeable faculty members, and average placements

Placements: I am currently in my 5th semester of B.Tech (CSE), and the most recent pass-out 2025 batch are placed in reputed companies. In our 5th semester, recently a US healthcare company, Vivnovation, visited offering ₹15,000 per month as an intern role and a PPO of 22 LPA on satisfactory work performance. This year, the 2025 pass-out percentage of students placed stood at 76.5%, with 268 getting placed out of 350. The highest in-campus package offer is by Amazon, PwC, and Microsoft, which are 14 LPA, 12 LPA, and 8 LPA respectively. The roles are SAP Consultant and TS.

Infrastructure: The classrooms are well-equipped with proper seating arrangements and basic facilities. Every classroom is a smart class (no A/C). The labs are all Wi-Fi enabled with modern computers and architecture (A/C enabled). The library is big, well maintained, and has a large collection of books and reading space. Extra books can be provided on demand. Basic hostel facilities include bed, mattress, pillow, and bathroom items. Every room has average Wi-Fi with 16 Mbps speed. Mess food quality is low and not very nutritious. Medical, sports, gym, and games are well maintained and worth it.

Faculty: Teachers mostly are well qualified and knowledgeable, with good teaching methods, leaving some with a very rigid and boring way of teaching, which, we all can agree, happens in every college. The curriculum needs to be revised with modern subjects, and a big change is required in the first-year syllabus. Semester exams are application-based with good conceptual questions and average evaluation guidelines. There are two midterms of 50 marks summed up into 30, two quizzes of 5 marks each, 5 marks for attendance, 5 for assignment, and a 50-mark end-semester examination.

Other: Well, I got a 40% scholarship on fests due to my JEE rank, and this is a good option to go with for a CSE degree. The professors are okay, and the curriculum is good enough. You get a lot of time to work on your personal skills. Coding culture is too low, that can be worked upon, and clubs mostly begin normally but get lost in interior politics down the line. Fests are okay but can be made far better if the administration actually opens up and looks at things other than just academics. Crowd has increased definitely.

Bachelor of Commerce (B.Com.) - Batch of 2027

The college is best. The campus area is clean and fresh with a nice environment.

Placements: 20 students are placed in my course. The highest salary is 2 lakhs per month and the lowest salary is Rs. 60,000 per month. Companies like Amazon and Microsoft hire students. About 20% of students get internships in Tata. Roles like accounting and business operators are offered. It helps students to get nice paid placements. Internships are done in a very proper manner where we can learn.

Infrastructure: Facilities and infrastructure are awesome. All the needed things are present here. I would rate 8 out of 10 for the canteen. The food and everything is good. We are enjoying our college life. Classrooms are very nice with AC and Wi-Fi connectivity. The learning phase is going on, it has a good library where we can study.

Faculty: The teaching quality is very good. Teachers are well-qualified. The course curriculum is relevant and it makes students industry-ready. Exams are not that difficult and the passing mark is 40. Teachers are so good towards students and guide us in everything that we are having problems with.

Other: I chose this course because I wanted to pursue my career in the corporate field. Nothing should be improved as everything is good about the college. All events, extracurricular activities, and co-curriculum are conducted.

All-around campus with good infrastructure.

Placements: Currently B.Sc. Computer Science (specialized in AI and IoT) is a newly formed branch that comes under the electronics and communication department, and I am the first batch student of this course. Placement is not initiated as we are currently in the second year of this course.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure and faculty are good. Many facilities are provided by the department as well as the college. We can do whatever project we want to perform, and our department supports our projects and needs. Wi-Fi quality is a bit disappointing on campus, almost everyone uses 5G in college because Jio 5G has very high internet speed on campus.

Faculty: Faculty are well-experienced, we can say more than 10-12 years of experience in teaching. Co-curricular activities took place frequently, where we could showcase multiple talents and take part in various tech-related events. Exams are strict and fair, and there is no chance of cheating or any malpractice.

Other: I chose this course to take a good course under low fees compared to B.Tech, whose fees are high, and I have an interest in both computer and electronics. By taking this course, I can engage with both of these, which may not have been possible if I had just taken B.Tech in computer science and this. The annual fest is of a flagship level where multiple events take place, and amazing artists come and perform for us. Overall, college is good with decent placement records.

Absolutely satisfied with faculty .

Placements: The total percentage of students is 16%. The average package is 3 years. Stnm Hospital, Manipal Hospital, and Singtam Hospital. All 16% of students get internships at Manipal. Roles offered include Senior Lab Technician. There are endless opportunities after taking MLT. We can build our businesses or work in hospitals. It is overall a very good course.

Infrastructure: The college has well-developed labs with all the equipment. Proper hygiene and safety protocols are followed. Free Wi-Fi and a 9 AM to 9 PM library facility are provided to every student. The food in the mess is hygienic and tasty. Everyone interested in sports is also encouraged to participate in fests.

Faculty: Teachers are very helpful and qualified. The course curriculum is very relevant, and it does make students industry-ready. The semester exams are quite tough. The pass percentage is 50%. Teachers and workers there are very professional, friendly, and helpful. Overall, the environment is very positive and beautiful.

Other: I chose this course because I want to work in the medical field. The best thing about my course is that we can help people. The thing I wish to improve is proper practical teaching. There are lots of fests and events on the campus, including Aura, Hustle, etc.
