School of Basic & Applied Sciences (SBAS)

What School of Basic & Applied Sciences (SBAS) does

School of Basic & Applied Sciences (SBAS) is a constituent academic unit within Sikkim Manipal University (SMU), a private multidisciplinary university established in 1995 under the Sikkim Act of 1995 through a public-private partnership between the Government of Sikkim and Manipal Education and Medical Group. The university operates across two Sikkim campuses (Majitar for technical and liberal arts, Tadong for medical, nursing, physiotherapy and the teaching hospital) and runs seven wholly-owned constituent entities: SMIT (engineering and technology), SMIMS (medical college), SMCON (nursing), SMCPT (physiotherapy), FHSSLA (humanities and social sciences), CDOE (distance and online education), and the Central Referral Hospital (CRH), a 500-bed super-specialty teaching hospital with 46 ICU beds and 12 dedicated operating theatres. SMU offers 57+ programs from undergraduate to doctoral level and holds NAAC A+, NBA, NMC, INC, and UGC accreditations.

Revenue is generated through four primary streams: (1) tuition and academic fees across the constituent institutes on subscription/recurring semester and annual billing cycles, (2) healthcare services delivered through CRH on a fee-for-service basis (outpatient consultations, inpatient care, diagnostics, super-specialty treatment), (3) online and distance education through CDOE/onlinemanipal.com for programs such as Online MBA, MCA, BA, BCOM, MCOM, and MA, and (4) training and professional development revenue including AHA-certified Basic Life Support and Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support courses delivered in partnership with Life Savers Association (New Delhi). Distribution spans on-campus instruction, the self-serve online portal, centralized admission counselling, the teaching hospital, and a Training and Placement Cell facilitating recruitment with employers such as Amazon, Dell, Commvault, JSW, and Keysight.

The School of Basic & Applied Sciences itself, as the named subject of this analysis, sits within the basic sciences departments of SMIT (Chemistry, Mathematics, Physics) and serves as a foundational science teaching layer supporting the engineering, medical and research programs of the broader university. Note on data scope: the firmographic file lists 1-10 employees for SBAS specifically, while the detailed source material describes the entire SMU ecosystem; the analysis above reflects the entity-level evidence provided in the source data.
