Dear Student,

Unfortunately, Sikkim Manipal University does not offer M.Tech as a distance course. If you want to take admission here, you will have to enrol in a regular 2-year MTech course in Communication and Signal Process, Computer Science & Engineering, Structural Engineering, or Power Electronics. There are other PG distance courses available at Sikkim Manipal University-Distance Education (SMU-DE), like MBA, MCA, and MSc (IT), which are UGC and Distance Education Board (DEB) approved. However, you can consider other good colleges for M.Tech distance courses like Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU), Dr. B.R. Ambedkar Open University (BRAOU), Annamalai University, …
