College Infrastructure

Our college infrastructure was more than adequate, and we had all the facilities we needed on campus, including computer labs, a workshop, and a library. The hostel was very nice, with good maintenance, and each room had only two occupants. We enjoyed our B.Tech days very much.

Excellent campus view

Verified Review

College Infrastructure

The college has a good environment, and public transportation is nearby. However, the grounds are too small, with only limited playing equipment, and sufficient only for parking and roaming. The lab facilities are good, and the computers work properly. Only three events happen each year.

Being a north indian, Should I join NIT Meghalaya Cse? Will it be a right decision?

Dear Aspirant,

The choice of joining NIT Meghalaya is completely upto what you are interested in and what your comfort zone is.

There are a few factors to consider.

1. NIT Meghalaya is a very new campus and hence the faculty, alumni network, course structure, internship.opportunities are all very sloppy.

2. If you aren't looking for continuing in engineering after this, then you can definitely choose Meghalaya campus and you'll be able to get the NIT tag and pursue whatever your passionate about.

3. If you are interested in getting into software companies or engineering after this, then choose some well established private colleges like VIT, Amrita, Manipal.

4. If you are getting core branches in other NITs choose that and learn programming , do software related internships etc.

Hope this helps you in making a decision

The faculties are well experienced and good. Research work, hands on practise is provided to the students. Curriculum is well structured and flexible.


Meghalaya is known for its breathtaking scenic beauty and of course, rains. The rainy period of the year lasts for about 9.8 months.
