Why SRM University Sikkim?

SRM University Sikkim provides world-class education with unmatched infrastructure and a well-qualified, outstanding faculty. Students have a broad range of subjects—from the sciences, social sciences, IT, management as other professional and vocational courses—to choose from. Apart from academics, cultural programs like Meraki, the annual university festival, and Athlon, the annual sports meet, provide opportunities for all-round development. These year-round activities are augmented by regular webinars, seminars, field visits and industrial exposure. Located in the mountain state of Sikkim in the north-eastern region of India, SRM University Sikkim is perfectly placed to ensure the all-round development of the student population of not only the region but also India’s next-door neighbours including Nepal, Bhutan and Bangladesh.
