Medhavi Skills University (MSU)

Medhavi Skills University (MSU), established under the Medhavi Skills University, Sikkim Act, 2021, and recognized by the UGC, is one of India’s most forward-looking institutions. Unlike traditional universities, MSU was born out of a vision to merge education with employability, making students job-ready in today’s competitive world.

As one of the pioneers in skill-integrated higher education, MSU aligns with the National Education Policy (NEP 2020) and the National Higher Education Qualification Framework (NHEQF). With an Outcome Based Education (OBE) system, competency-driven curriculum, blended learning, and continuous assessment, MSU empowers students with industry-relevant skills while maintaining strong academic rigor.

Today, MSU stands as a leader in the Eastern and North-Eastern region of India, redefining how higher education meets the real-world needs of industries. What makes MSU unique is its industry-first model, corporates and professionals actively influence curriculum design, program delivery, on-the-job training, apprenticeships, and skill development initiatives. This ensures students are not just learning theory but are equipped with hands-on expertise that gives them a competitive edge.
