Questions Asked On Sikkim Manipal University, East Sikkim
What are the best student organizations or clubs to join at Sikkim Manipal University? Why should students join them?
One of my friends is an alumnus of Sikkim Manipal University. He joined the Photography club as an overly enthusiastic fresher with a 2-megapixel camera and later on forgot all about it for the rest of 4 years of his course. Eventually, he joined several other clubs that made his time at the institute quite enjoyable.
Here’s the list of Clubs at Sikkim Manipal University.
Technical Clubs:
- IAESTE - International Association for the Exchange of Students for Technical Experience
- ISTE - Indian Society for Technical Education
- IE - MECH
- IE Civil
- Systems Society of India (I&C)
- SAE India Collegiate Club (Society of Automotive Engineers)
- Akshay Urja Club
Non-Technical Clubs:
- MAFIA - Music and Fine Arts Club
- Aaina Dramatics
- Astronomy Club
- AIESEC - facilitates non-technical internships and projects abroad
- Rotaract Club - Fundraisers, awareness campaigns, and charity drives
- Leo Club - Fundraisers, awareness campaigns, and charity drives

Additionally, there are a number of new initiatives like Manipal University Technology Business Incubator (MUTBI), Formula Manipal, SolarMobil, Parikshit, MTTN, etc.
It's equally advantageous to be a part of a working group in a couple of clubs. You should try to actively participate hinged on your desires and availability. Although it is not needed, it is beneficial to have a diverse set of experiences to highlight on your CV, especially during placements and applications to post-BTech programs.

Is Sikkim Manipal University good for a B.Tech?
No, the administration is not particularly the best at Sikkim Manipal University. I know a few people from the institute and here is what they had to say about the institute.
- There is a huge locational disadvantage of the university, given the constant issues faced by students. Recently, they have installed an ATM machine.
- The mess of the institute is not in its best condition. It is run by local people. They do not especially get concerned about the complaints students usually submit. The quality of food is not good even though they take exorbitant amounts of money for the food.
- The administration doesn’t take the necessary steps to resolve the issues raised by students.
- According to one of my friends from the CSE department they were not allowed to take industrial training from other companies.
- The professors are not gonna invest much of their time in your project. However, your project may get rejected for silly mistakes.
- Recently, in terms of placement, TCS rejected SMIT, while Amazon only hired students as their interns. The placement scenario is not good.
This is everything that you should be aware of before enlisting at Sikkim Manipal University.

Can I immigrate to Canada if I have a degree from SMU Sikkim Manipal University?
Yes, you can migrate to Canada or any other country even if you have any degree from SMU. The sole criteria for this is not a degree and you must fulfill other eligibility as well.
The Comprehensive Ranking System for Canadian immigration is not based on whether you have a regular degree or a distance degree, given that the university must be recognized.
SMU is duly recognized by UGC for ODL programs. You can easily apply to Canada. Go for the ECA process at ICAS as they evaluate the application process at SMU. The management authorities are very supportive and they will help you in getting the transcripts.
Which is better Sikkim Manipal or Manipal University Jaipur?
Both Sikkim Manipal and Manipal University Jaipur are very popular institutes and a lot of students across the country apply for admissions in these institutes. But among these two, choosing Manipal University Jaipur will be a better option especially if you're from North or Central India.

Can I expect to get into CSE in Sikkim Manipal University (Sikkim branch) with a rank of 19500?
SMIT cutoff for CSE stays around 19000. So, you will have a good chance of getting CSE. Even if you don’t get CSE, during the first round of counseling, you will have a good chance of getting admission during the waiting list counseling. Students applying for the Sikkim campus are less in number, so you have a good chance of getting admission.
Does a degree from Sikkim Manipal University have any value in the future?
Manipal University which is based out in Karnataka is the parent organization of Sikkim Manipal University. Manipal University (MU) is well ahead of Sikkim Manipal University (SMU) in terms of placement quality, infrastructure, faculty, and other factors.
Many people, on the other hand, believe that Sikkim Manipal is the parent organization of Manipal University in Karnataka. Some people have never heard of the Manipal University of Karnataka, but thanks to aggressive marketing, everyone has heard of SMU.
A degree from SMU is worth only half as much as a degree from Manipal University in Karnataka. However, I know some folks who attended SMU and are doing rather well, owing to their abilities rather than the college they chose.
In general, SMU is not a great option for your studies. The remote learning or online MBA program, which is promoted and marketed significantly on television, is not nearly as beneficial as it appears. The quality of students who have pursued an MBA program is not up to par, as they lack a degree of confidence and intelligence. So, if you have other possibilities, I would advise you to not choose SMU as it would not prove to be a wise career choice for you.
