The state later notified 26 June 2025 as the date on which the Act came into force, and the university reports that academic operations commenced on 10 July 2025. The university is sponsored by the Institute of Management and Technical Studies foundation and was conceived as a self-financing institution serving Sikkim and the wider Northeast. Its academic structure includes commerce and management, humanities and social sciences, information technology and other multidisciplinary fields, with undergraduate, postgraduate, diploma and doctoral pathways. The institution states that it operates from Namchi and does not use franchise study centres, reflecting the regulatory model of a campus-based state private university.
