What Students Say

Likes

Faculties who are DU and JNU graduates and all have completed their PHd. The mentor we get for dissertation during the final semesters is beneficial for the students.
The couse also include a subject of Remte Sensing and GIS.
The Central Library is equipped with various journals and books for the reference of student.

Dislikes

The rented campus on the highway area in the town.
The new Sikkim University campus is being build in Yangyang South Sikkim.
The Campus is on the verge of completion so the department can be shifted there.

Course Curriculum Overview

The curriculum is updated to meet the modern day technological interventions in studying Geography as a subject matter. The Remte Sensing and GIS is the latest technology used in studying and understanding the associated phenomenon of spatial landscape.

Class Size: 25Course Fees: INR 6500 per year

Fees and Financial Aid

Its is a central university so the course fee is substantially low. At the time of admission to the course MA Geography (in my case i paid around 4k) and after that for the following 3 semester i paid around 2k. The university provides scholarship for the topper student of few thousand rupees monthly.

Campus Life

4.5

The university hosts annual meet ups, sports meet, cultural meet, academic meet and other program of importance to the Indian Constitution. The department of Geography has a student run club named Sikkim University Geographical Society where the concerns of Geography are discussed and shared.

Admission

I applied to this particular course because only Sikkim University provided Masters of Arts in Geography all over Sikkim during the year 2019. The admission process was a written entrance , but as of now CUET is mandatory for admission to UG and PG couses in Sikkim University

Faculty

There are around 6 faculty members for the PG and PHd program. The faculty are highly intellectual individuals who have completed their PHds from JNU and DU with numerous international publications. The mentor mentee ratio would be about 1.6. There are two mid term sessional of 25 marks and final semester exam of 50 marks.

Honest my review

Course Curriculum Overview:

It was diverse and more likely never heard of but it was nice I came to know about war and peace why war happens and why peace is very important, how society works, how religion works everything I don't know how good does this curriculum prepares you for real world but gives you more refined knowledge to understand the world. There is always room for improvement in very field that is why our world is changing day by day it improvement afterall. Faculty have come together and find new and imaginative ways to teach so students can understand well. Per semester main exams difficulties are not there if you study not 8 hours a day but understand the concepts.

A short journey back to my Alma Mater

Course Curriculum Overview:

When pursuing my Bachelors degree i got to know more about the subject and got influenced to continue with the course. The course teaches us so many things about the Functioning, regulating, and embodiment of the government, which is intresting and helpful in day to day life. The study doesn't need any improvements rather it would be better the politicians who run our government should be exposed with the course's curriculum. Exam is held twice a year in Manipal excluding the internal exams and the weekly or monthly tests.

Life as a Sikkim University student in the main campus, Yangang

I chose this college as this is close to my hometown as compared to the other colleges I applied. Apart from this university, I applied to Central University of Punjab, Central University of Gujarat, Central University of Kerala, Pondicherry University and JNU. I got chance in Punjab, Kerala and Sikkim so I chose Sikkim University. Yes, I didn't get chance in the other universities as the cut off was very high....Read More
