Course Overview
About Bachelor of Library & Information Science (BLIS) Course
Bachelor of Library & Information Science (BLIS) at MIT University Sikkim takes 1 year and focuses on a combined study route that connects more than one subject area, taught as a regular on-campus programme.

A single clear subject focus: Library & Information Science, studied properly for 1 year rather than spread thin.
Practical work every semester — cross-subject case work, applied group projects and data and evidence exercises — so you can show what you can do, not only what you studied.
Subject choices that stay relevant: Digital Libraries, Information Retrieval and Database Management.
A degree from a UGC-recognised state private university, valid for employment and for further study.
Small campus, direct access to faculty, and daily classroom support at Namchi, Sikkim.
