About the Organisation
Sikkim Manipal University runs under a Public-Private Partnership between the Government of Sikkim and the Manipal Education Group. SMIMS, one of its constituent institutes, is attached to Central Referral Hospital (CRH), a 500-bed multi-specialty, NABH-accredited hospital in Tadong. SMCPT is SMU’s physiotherapy college on the same campus. For a candidate, this means the job sits inside a large, established teaching-hospital campus rather than a small standalone clinic or department.

Added context: SMU does not publish a fixed pay scale in either notice. Assistant Professor pay at similar private physiotherapy colleges in the North East typically follows a consolidated monthly salary rather than a UGC/AICTE scale, and can vary by experience and qualification. This is a general benchmark, not part of the official notification — confirm the exact salary with the SMCPT office before applying.
