MGU Meghalaya provides plenty of job opportunities many well-reputed companies come for campus placement. Many of my seniors are placed in good companies through campus placement. The university provides career counseling as well. Although the placement options are limited for some fields of study.

Some of the major events are the freshmen social which are an exciting introduction to the MGU culture for first-year students. Interdepartmental cultural events that involve dance, singing, and other such events, is also another event students can get involved in. It is generally held in August.

The fee for the BCA programme is 20,000 per semester but the admission fees, exam fees, and cultural& sports fees are charged separately. Compared to other universities I found the fee for the programme affordable.

Mahatma Gandhi Scholarship for Girls- University has launched a 100% scholarship program for girl candidate. Preference is given to candidates whose family annual income is less than Rs.2,50,000 /-P.A or belonging to any category (Gen/SC/ST/OBC etc.).

The University has state of the art infrastructure the labs are well maintained. The library has most of the books needed for the reference of students. MGU has a great indoor and outdoor sports facility as well.

The admission process is pretty straight forward and easy to understand as most of the details are available on the official university website. The process is a three-step process. firstly, one needs to submit an application form along with the application fee. secondly, one must appear in the MGU-GET entrance exam. The qualifying students are called for the third and final, personal interview and counseling round. The admission process is convenient and hassles.

The faculty is very supportive and appreciative of our learning efforts. The faculties of the course are very knowledgeable in their subjects and try to help us learn and understand the course better. Guest lectures and video lectures are always an ad-on help in the learning process.
