About Sikkim University
Sikkim University is a Central University established by an Act of Parliament in 2007 and accredited by NAAC. Its campus is at 6th Mile, Samdur, Tadong, on the outskirts of Gangtok. For a candidate, the value of these posts lies in the workplace itself: the Research and Development Cell and the Finance Section handle research project administration for the entire university, which gives direct exposure to how funded projects, accounts, and audits work in a Central University.

Reaching the Campus
This section is added context for candidates and is not part of the official notification.
The venue is the Office of the Registrar on the main campus at 6th Mile, Samdur, Tadong — roughly 6–7 km before central Gangtok on the NH10 side. Candidates travelling from Siliguri or New Jalpaiguri should plan for about 4–5 hours by shared taxi or bus via NH10, so an overnight stay in Gangtok the day before the interview is the safer option, since reporting closes at 10:30 AM and latecomers will not be entertained. Candidates from Pakyong side can use the airport road, and those from Darjeeling or Kalimpong should keep NH10 traffic and weather in mind during the July monsoon. Taxis from Deorali or Tadong reach the campus in a few minutes. Since no TA/DA is paid, candidates should budget their own travel.
Important Dates
There is only one date that matters here, and reporting time is strict. The notification clearly states that candidates reporting after the registration time shall not be entertained under any circumstances.

Selection Process
Selection is direct and happens on the interview day itself. There is no written exam or online application stage, which makes this faster than most government recruitments. The University reserves the right to fix higher eligibility criteria or restrict the number of candidates interviewed.
- Registration and document verification (10:30 AM)
- Personal Interview (from 11:30 AM)
- Skill Test
One practical point from the notification: mere fulfilment of the eligibility criteria does not entitle a candidate to be selected, and canvassing in any form leads to disqualification.

Should You Apply?
These posts suit candidates in or near Sikkim who want Central University work experience without a long selection process.

FAQs
Can the one-year contract at Sikkim University be extended?
Yes. The notification states the engagement is extendable subject to satisfactory performance and availability of project funds, whichever is earlier. Extension is not guaranteed, and the post remains temporary with no claim to regularisation.
Will Sikkim University pay travel allowance for attending the interview?
No. The notification clearly states that no TA/DA shall be paid for attending the walk-in-interview or the selection process. Candidates bear their own travel and stay costs.
Is this experience useful for future government jobs?
Project staff experience in a Central University counts as verifiable experience in an educational institution, which many later recruitments — including similar Supervisor-level posts — list as essential. This is added context based on general recruitment patterns, not part of the official notification.
Can final-year students appear for this walk-in-interview?
The notification does not mention final-year students. Since qualification is reckoned as on the interview date, candidates should hold the completed degree by 28 July 2026. For clarity, contact the Research and Development Cell, Sikkim University.
