These subjects can be specialisation, however, you have to study general subjects, English, Alternative English, Hindi, Regional Language ( if any), Business Economics and others.

No, nothing as I have heard so far. While I was graduating, I have not seen or heard of any internship program.

Yes, campus placement happens sometimes. Lately, I have observed many companies coming to the college to assess students on marketing, business, BPO, media and other fields. I hope it has changed more now and more and more campus placements are happening.

Fee structure differs for courses. However, its not really expensive. Special category is given to SC/ST/OBC and they receive their fee refunded as scholarship annually.

Yes, as mentioned, students falling in Schedule Caste, Schedule tribes and Other Backward Classes are refunded their paid fee as scholarships. They can use the same money to pay next year fee and still get those refunded. There is no scholarship program as such. Fee is not super heavy to take a loan. However, if you still wish to take a loan, then education loans are provided by all the banks. The college is NAAC accredited and is recognised nationally. So you won't face any trouble.

Campus life is good. You will find more locals than the outsiders. Sometimes, you may have to be extra cautious as some rotten souls may wish to rag you. However, ragging is not permitted but on a few occasions you may find difficult. The gender ratio will be 5:3 ( 5 boys and 3 girls). You will lot many co-curricular activities. More information can be gathered here.

We dont have a hostel. However, you can get private hostels at nearby locations. Food is provided my local canteen staff within and outside college premises. You would love the delicacies of Shillong. I enjoyed a lot. You may get a good hostel within a radius of 5 kms for around 4k to 5k with food. If you wish to stay in luxury, then you may have to shell another 3 to 4k.

Yes, there would be connect program every year. It is called Shillong College Alumni Day. Last year it was 16th August. However, you won't find alumni around to help you. Once college is done, there won't be anyone. Seniors are okay, they mind their own business, however, if you want a help or something, they are always approachable except for a few rotten souls.

We have two main exams in a year in additional to weekly or monthly unit tests. The Unit Tests are sole decision of professors and they can take the test as deemed necessary. The first exam, is the qualification exam. You need to get through this exam to sit for the mains. Questions however will be same as the mains. Once you are done with Qualification round, you are allowed to sit for the main exams.

The teachers are amazingly good and highly experienced. That is the reason, I guess most of the students from other colleges, prefer to take extra classes from Shillong College Professors. The college has a huge curriculum and professors had to be always on their toes to get them complete. However, they manage time pretty well and for any doubts, you can easily approach them.
