NIT Sikkim Reviews & Ratings 2026 – Authentic Student Feedback

Admission: Our first semester was a bit tough due to online classes caused by coronavirus. The teachers were new to teaching online, so it was a bit hard to understand at first. But as time went on, they really worked hard to help us out. They gave us notes, books, PDFs, and video lectures to make sure we understood everything. We could ask them anything we didn't get. We had two types of exams. The first one had mid-term exams with 10 marks for the written part and 10 marks for the viva part. The viva exam was done with the video on. The second type of exam was the final written exam. We also had assignments worth 25 marks and reports worth 10 marks.

Placement: I'm a second-year B.Tech student at NIT Sikkim. First year went well with good marks. Now in my 4th semester and things are still good. NIT Sikkim is new, so it's in a temporary campus at Ravangla. Placements are a bit low, but that's normal for new NITs. In 2020, about 70% of students got placed. For CSE, ECE, and EEE, it's almost 100%. Civil and mechanical engineering have slightly fewer placements, like 10 out of 30 students. But it's getting better each day because our labs are improving. Soon, we might reach 70% to 80% placement rate. Our college offers internships at companies like L&T, IBM, Microsoft, and TCS.

Campus: Even though the campus at NIT Sikkim is still under construction, they've got everything we need for studying and research right here. The library, digital classrooms, labs, workshop, lecture hall, gym, hostels you name it, they've got it. And guess what? We even have a supercomputer called PARAM Kanchenjunga on campus! In the last 5 years, from 2016 to 2021, the campus has really improved a lot. It's great to see how much progress we've made.

Admission: Most of the faculty are helpful, but some are too strict. Some of them even studied in the USA. The EEE course curriculum is overwhelming because it covers both electrical and electronics, making it a lot to study.

You need to pass with at least 75% to be eligible for placements.
