Admission to NITs, including NIT Sikkim, is through the JEE Mains exam, with specific cutoff ranks for each branch managed by JOSAA. NIT Sikkim offers personalized education with a mix of faculty, though some are less experienced. For the Computer Science branch, 90% of students secure placements, with top packages reaching 30 LPA and an average of 8-10 LPA. The college charges full fees of ?1,25,000 annually, with waivers available based on family income.
SC/ST students receive full fee waivers and scholarships up to ?45,000 annually if their family income is below ?1 lakh. General category students can access education loans, and those with family incomes over ?5 lakh pay additional hostel and mess fees. Despite a 200% fee increase for master's programs, bachelor's fees remain feasible. The college supports students with a variety of scholarships and financial aid, while internship opportunities abound, starting in the third year, with average stipends of 45k.
Reputed companies like Intel and L&T recruit actively, enhancing the placement ecosystem. Seven scholarship schemes are available, detailed on the college website, with cooperative aid from the admission department.
