My college is best according to me , here we have lot of facilities and many playgrounds. Cleanliness across the campus is major step by our college. Here all the wings/blocks are constucted in a large space with so many classrooms in them. There are separate wings for every branch but we all live together there.It also have a large ground which is full of greenery and gives us a great enthusiasm and happiness.

Have a question related to Sikkim Manipal University, Gangtok ?

Siksha O Anusandhan CSe or MANIPAL,Sikkim IT branch?? which one should i take?? Which has the better placement??

Hello,

fee structure for SOA is very high. if you can afford it then you can choose it. In terms of placement, it is best campus. You will get campus opportunity starting from Product companies like Microsoft to new startup companies who offer more than 5 lpa.

On the part of Manipal and sikkim , it should be your decision to choose college option. IT and CSE both are nearly same. what ever the difference is there you can cover them in free time.
