What Students Say

Likes

The environment of the college and the students makes you feel like you really are in college.
The grounds for sports are available for a long time so i can play anytime i want to.
The college has a good education system supported well by the teachers.

Dislikes

The sports faculty is missing in some areas.
The football field is not properly maintained throughout the year.
The washrooms are a bit dirty and toilets are not nice.

Course Curriculum Overview

The courses are mostly complete and satisfactory. The prices are also reasonable for one of the top colleges in Shillong, if not the North East. However the curriculum is a bit extra in my opinion. The Sec, Mdc and Vac courses all have their uses but their use is made negligible as they just add to the workload of the students which makes them a burden to study apart from our major and minor subjects.

Class Size: 63Course Fees: INR 18499 per year

Fees and Financial Aid

Fees for the courses are reasonable considering you are in one of the best colleges in Shillong, if not the North East. However more scholarship and financial aid benefits have to be introduced in my opinion.

Campus Life

4.5

Campus life is really awesome and fun and interactive with all the students interacting with one another. The library also has a huge amount of books if you are an ardent reader. The sports and extracurriculsr activitiea are also very fun, especially during events like College week and others. The college is very multilingual as you can see students from all across the country, especially the North East.

Admission

The eligibility of the course came down to percentages. I got 91 in my Higher secondary exams and the cutoff was 90. The application form could be acquired from the college or the online College site. Other information regarding the college can also be availed from both these sources. The timing of exams are also reasonable except for last year (2023) due to the application of the new education policy which made the whole timetable a bit late.

Faculty

The teachera and faculty members are available most of the times so that's a good thing. However the teaching is the same as high school level even with the new education policy system. This is a huge upset as i was hoping there'd be more interactive classes.

I preferred St Edmund's to St Anthony's.

I was unable to give CUET due to the ongoing crisis in Manipur.

ST ANTHONY’s COLLEGE SHILLONG

Likes

The college was full diverse with people coming from different states.
The faculty is quite cleaned and well organized.
College week was the best part of the college.

Dislikes

The professors were quite rude. If asked something you will be questioned as dumb.
The teaching style was not good. They would teach in their local language most of the time.
The time table was quite hectic as the classes started from 8:00 AM and ended in 4:30 PM and having only 30 mins break the whole day.

Course Curriculum Overview:

The course is quite vast. But it only consisted of three subjects for my batch before NEP. We only have Western music, Hindustani classical music and regional music. But courses with NEP has a lot. And not just focuses on music but extras too.

Likes

classes are always held on time with a punctual routine
teachers are strict and sincere and provide materials
food of the canteen is very delicious of it's kind

Dislikes

due to the non-availability of co-ed since it's an all girls college
canteen's food can add a variety of other delicacies
inclusivity of every gender being a all girls college

Course Curriculum Overview:

i've always had a passion for literature and it's musings so i guess english has always been close to home and my intellect. The curriculum makes me well known to the real world. There aren't any necessary improvements as per my perspective. The level of difficulty is moderate except it prepares every student to get out of one's comfort zone

The College that I’ve been dreaming of

Likes

My college offers an excellent learning environment with highly experienced faculty who are always approachable for guidance. The teaching methods are interactive, combining theoretical knowledge with practical applications
The infrastructure is commendable with well equipped classrooms labs and a modern library. Campus life is vibrant with a mix of cultural, technical and sports events that foster a sense of community
The placement services are affective with top companies participating in campus recruitment and providing ample job opportunities

Dislikes

One area where the college needs improvement is the hostel facilities which require better maintenance and amenities
The Internet connectivity can be inconsistent in certain areas of the campus which impact students who rely online resources
The mess food lacks variety and often does not meet quality standards

Course Curriculum Overview:

I would rate an 8 because curriculum is essential to guide teachers in what to teach, how much depth of knowledge is needed for the grade and a timeline to follow so the syllabus will be completed. Curriculum needs to focus on what you can do with information

Dislikes

The classrooms they were kind of old it wasnt renovated
Yeah there is water issue over in shillong in rainy days the water gets dirty which no one would like to drink so we have to buy our own water ....college authorities also provide fresh water when it becomes a big issue
The instruments for field study in geography are too old some doesnt work

Course Curriculum Overview:

I choose this course because i wanted to study geography and to know about it and i had to choose this institution because in Tripura there was no good college which provide BA geography honours so i had to move to Meghalaya...it is fun to study during 5-6th semester where we have to do field study with different instruments the are so amazing and in 6th semester they take us to trekking but unfortunate we were not taken because of exams ....the Nehu exams are so hard

Remarks:

Students take admission so as to get good placements. However, this college doesn't really have that option and so it needs to improve in that aspect as it'll ultimately give name to the college and also its alumnis.

Melisa Kharbyngar's Review On St. Edmund's College, Shillong

To be honest i applied only in St Edmunds for my Bachelors and even Masters because it was my first preferrence as i wanted to persue Social Work and there are other colleges too that offers bsw/msw but for me i preferred St Edmunds because they provide quality education right from the infrastructure to curricular activities to clubs which the students come up by themselves to workshops,seminars we get alot of opportunities to excel but at the end it depends on the student if they're willing to grab the opportunity. Also i wanted to study abroad for MSW to gain exposure but due to my health condition i cannot study abroad so i sticked to Edmunds since its really good. The admission process is quite easy and its eligible for students from various field ..Cuet marks are required but are mostly merit based. My admission process was easy since i secured high percentage I did not have to go through any interviews or exams and after paying the provisional fee to secure the seat i got the admission....Read More
