Q:   How are the hostel facilities at National Institute of Technology Meghalaya?
A:

Hostel facilities are not bad but not too good it depends upon several factors that from where you are if you are from home state Meghalaya itself its quite good but if you are from other states the food be little problem to you, other factors if you consider you will get wi-fi, water purifier is there, geysers are there, electricity is available most of the times. In a room nearly 2-3 peoples are sitting. Currently its operating from a temporary campus so all hostels are not at the same place for every course like Ph.D. M.Sc. B.Tech they all are having different hostels, and they are far apart from each other. But possibly we are shifting to our permanent campus to sohra, hostel facilities will be quite good there but again it will be in out area so you will not be getting any thing out there. I think the worst thing about the hostel is the food especially if you are a vegetarian.

Q:   What is the seat intake for BTech CSE at NIT Meghalaya?
A:

NIT Meghalaya Seat intake for the B.Tech. in Computer Science and Engineering is 33. The seat intake number is moderately less comapre to NIT Trichy's BTech Seat intake which is 47.

Wonderful campus life, hardworking teachers but reluctant placement cell about masters students.

Infrastructure: Library is good with books covering all the courses but less number of books which leads to less holding time for books. The library is good and Wi-Fi facility in college is good. Sometimes creates trouble in the hostel. The mess food is not upto the mark but we can't expect more from a hostel.

Between the mountains with supportive faculty members.

Infrastructure: The whole campus and hostel have Wi-Fi facilities available 24/7 which provides high internet speed. There is a library and also an e-library with Wi-Fi and you can access the computers and do your work. Hostel rooms are better than expected. The mess food is above average.

Average placements, new campus, average mess food, overall a very average college.

Infrastructure: The college is moving to a new campus in February 2025. The new campus is in Sohra, Cherapunji, and is in a beautiful setting. The campus is newly built and has new furniture and amenities. The mess food is average, but I expect it to improve once the new campus opens.

New campus life starts, but we'll enjoy yourself.

Infrastructure: The hostel has good facilities, but the three-seater rooms require some adjustment. The vegetarian food is average, but the non-veg food is better. There are a few canteens, but they are expanding. For medical care, we depend on the Ramkrishna School and a medical emergency building on campus. There are also two ambulances always on campus. Sports facilities are growing, and we have some indoor sports tables, a badminton court, and a cricket ground for now.

An average college with natural beauty.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure of the labs, classrooms, and lecture halls is good. This is also true of the hostels, but if you are looking for food, it is not good if you are from the north or west of India. There is mostly non-vegetarian food. No nearby restaurants are available; in fact, there are no shops.

Dissatisfied by the food in the mess & transportation facilities, placements are not up to the mark.

Infrastructure: Campus shifting will take place this December as it’s confirmed officially now. Wi-Fi is good, labs and classrooms are so nice in the permanent campus. Hostel rooms in our new campus are nice. The library is too small but enough for the students count here. Food is bad, and sports and games are fine.

Any way NIT is a NIT.

Infrastructure: Currently, our campus is working in a temporary campus, so it doesn't have advanced facilities. Labs are equipped with all the necessary equipment that is needed, but slowly the labs are being shifted to the permanent campus, which has all the advanced machines and laboratories. Hostels are quite good.

Good college because of the study level. As compared to IIITs and GFTIs, this NIT is very good.

Infrastructure: Facilities are not so good, but professors are very good. We have Wi-Fi, labs, a library, and separate classrooms. The quality of food is not good in hostels, but in college it is good. Medical facilities are very good; colleges have a separate department for them.

I would recommend students to join this college.

Infrastructure: Currently, we are operating from Shillong, and it is a temporary campus. Our campus is average so the college life is not that good. Hostels are far from college and are average. All the hostels are at different places and are not good. Even the quality of food served is the worst. You can't enjoy hostel life but from batch'23 we are shifting to permanent campus, so then it will be good.

Gym equipment in the hostel, a 24*7 medical facility in the eye-distance hospital, and indoor as well as outdoor game facilities. They also provide all types of game equipment. The playground is so near to the hostel.
