Simbu's Review On North-Eastern Hill University - [NEHU], Shillong

As such, there isn't any negative remarks to the college. However, I wish there were more competitions or opportunities available for its students to showcase their talents. Nevertheless, the university in overall is a great one providing top class education with a strong based faculty members.

I particularly took this course because I always had a keen interest towards technologies and programming. The first year course curriculum is basically theory based. From the second year, the course becomes more systematic and scoring as practicals are included. Exams are held semester wise so much pressure isn't created on the students.

NEHU has a Counselling and Placement Cell that works on receiving the best companies in the industry to come to the college for recruitments. It is also responsible to conduct practice interviews, aptitude sessions, workshops, and seminars. The University has tie-ups with various companies and is frequently visited by various companies for training and workshops. All the students need is to maintain attendance, be attentive in class and maintain good grades and be smart enough to learn as well as explain the things they have learned till date.

Various worshops will take place in 2020, for which the calendar has already been prepared. Some of then are - Workshop on application of statistics in social sciences, National symposium on recent trends in zoological sciences, AICTE training and learning workshop on 3D painting & design etc. and many more.

This particular course is for four years and the fee structure for the first year is Rs.4,820/- and the fee structure for the rest three years is Rs.3,920/- , which is amounting to Rs.16,580/- at the end of four years. The fee structure is obviously feasible as related to technology field.

The university provides these scholarships - Scholarships for meritorious pass-out students having Honours in their degree and have secured a minimum of 55% marks and are currently pursuing postgraduate courses. Also, financial assistance to poor and deserving students is provided under ‘Students Aid Fund’ for payment of tuition, examination, hostel fees and other expenses. And lastly, Junior Research fellowship for men upto 35 years and women upto 45 years of age.

Numerous functions take place or are celebrated in the university of which the major events celebrated are - Fresher's Party, Farewell party, Teachers' day and Tech fest. The events are of great fun and enjoyment and especially DJ nights are conducted in the evening of fresher's party. To keep up the enthusiasm of the fellow students, sport activities are also held in the campus.
