My honest review of my college.

Placements: Placements are quite okay. Unlike other colleges in the state, various companies like Google, some BPOs, and many companies come from time to time to recruit students. This put the college at a high rank, and as a result, the college recruits only qualified students. I could quote quite a number of students who got a job before completing their courses. But I still feel that this could be better so that more students have a future through this institute.

Infrastructure: Hostels are great. It is situated near the college. There are two separate buildings for both boys and girls. Some rooms are shared, and some single rooms are also available here. Mess food is also great. It costs a total of around Rs. 8,000 per month. PGs are also available around the college, which cost around Rs. 4,000 per month.

Faculty: Faculty members are super awesome and very dedicated. Some of the teachers make us love the subject they teach. They are perfectly trained in their respective lies. They did their job really well. It is an awesome college in terms of faculty members. The principal is friendly, and so is his assistant. Faculty members sitting in offices, be it the clerks or whoever, are very helpful. All the good reviews of other students made me choose this college for MCA. The best MCA course is at the university. There is a proper schedule for exams, and a particular datasheet is followed.

My honest review of my college.

Placements: Directly after MCA, students from my stream do not look for jobs often, and they go for their master's. However, for all other departments and even for our department, the campus placements used to visit. Wipro, TCS, etc., are some of the organisations offering campus placements. There is an active placement cell in the college premises.

Infrastructure: The hostel rooms are quite big. They are either single, 2, 3, or 4 sharing rooms. Mess is not that much of a high quality, but the food is good. Students got admitted to the hostel based on their percentage. Some students did not get a seat.

Faculty: The course is divided into two main parts, the honours or main part is MCA. Electives are Botany and Chemistry. We also have to take up English and environmental science, additionally, during our 1st and 3rd year, respectively. Faculty members are awesome and very dedicated. Some teachers make us love the subject that they teach. They are perfectly trained in their respective lies. They did their job really well. It is an awesome college in terms of faculty members. The principal is friendly, and so is his assistant. Faculty members sitting in offices, be it the clerks or whoever, are very helpful.

My honest review of my college.

Placements: The placements are quite okay. Unlike other colleges in the state, various companies like Google, some BPOs, and many others come from time to time to recruit students. This put the college at a high rank, and as a result, the college recruits only qualified students. I could quote several students who got a job before completing their courses. I still feel that this could be better so that more students can have a future through this institute.

Infrastructure: It was the toughest course I ever attended or heard of. Every mark earned there in three years is hard-earned. A lot to learn. Professors there set a very high benchmark for students. Industry-level assignments are done in the course curriculum. Professors don't allow us to heat or copy internet-available assignments. Hostels are great. They are situated near the college. There are two buildings with separate boys' and girls ' sections. Some rooms are shared, and some single rooms are also available here. Mess food is also great. It totals around 8000 per month.

Faculty: The faculty is super awesome and very dedicated. Some of the teachers make you love the subject they teach. They are perfectly trained in their respective fields. They do their job well. It's an awesome college regarding faculty members. The Principal was friendly, and so was his assistant. The faculty members sitting in offices, be it the clerks or whoever, were very helpful. The exams, yes, were very strict. We had two to three exams a year, and questions were set from every nook and corner of the syllabus. One needs to prepare thoroughly for the tempting exams.

Faculty: It's a very worthy course, Natural Gases of the Earth. The faculty is great, and they teach us nicely and help us to overcome our doubts. Various practices were done that help us with our further research. I enjoyed a lot. The subject combination of Physics, Chemistry, Maths, and English as electives is perfect. We had two to three exams a year, and questions were set from every nook and corner of the syllabus. One needs to prepare thoroughly for the exams, and we need at least 75 percent attendance.

My honest review of St. Anthony's College, Shillong.

Placements: Nothing comes directly from the college. Everything depends on the student to manage on their own. In a way, this is good, as it helps students prepare themselves for job searches later and equips them with knowledge on how to proceed. Big companies like Amazon, InfoEdge, Paytm, etc., visited the campus with great packages, with the highest being 15 LPA this year. Most of the job descriptions were for the role of SDE, which included FTE plus an internship.

Infrastructure: Postgraduate students were given single rooms. They were no other options, for a monthly rental of nearly Rs. 2000. Two-seater rooms were Rs. 1500, three-seater rooms Rs. 1000, and dorms Rs. 500. Food costs were nearly Rs. 50 per day.

Faculty: The curriculum was somewhat outdated, as the field of Information Technology. It requires us to stay updated with the latest languages and technologies, but the syllabus was outdated and needed to be revised quickly. It should also be mentioned that postgraduate students did not get any on-campus placements. Almost all teachers were NET-qualified and specialized in the subjects they taught. The staff was very friendly and young, so interaction with them was very good. Whenever there was a problem, we could approach them personally. The curriculum was good, starting with easy concepts to familiarize students with all the subjects. The teaching methods were also good, as teachers did not assume that students were already proficient. All the positive reviews from other students made me choose this college for MCA.

Review of St. Anthony's College, Shillong.

Placements: The placements are especially good in Commerce with MNCs and banks like HDFC, SBI, Wipro, etc. coming for placements. Nothing from the college. Everything depends on the student to do on their own. In a way, it's good also as it helps the student to prepare themselves for the search for jobs later, as they will be equipped with how to proceed.

Infrastructure: The curriculum is somewhat outdated, as in the field of Information Technology, we need to be updated with the latest languages and technology, but the syllabus is way outdated and needs to be rectified fast. And also to mention that the postgraduate students do not get any on-campus placement. Postgraduates are given single rooms with no other options for a monthly rental of nearly 2000, and the three-seater for 1500, the two-seater for 1000, and dorms for 500. The food costs nearly 50 rupees per day.

Faculty: Teachers are super awesome and very dedicated. Some of the teachers make you love the subject that they teach. They are perfectly trained in their respective fields. They did their job well. It's an awesome college regarding faculty members. The Principal was friendly, and so was his assistant. The faculty members sitting in offices, be it the clerks or whoever, were very helpful. The college teaches the syllabus prescribed by NEHU. It is very balanced, and assignments are also given to students to ensure proper development in academics. However, scoring marks is difficult when it comes to literature subjects in NEHU.

Placements: Nothing comes directly from the college. Everything depends on the student to manage on their own. In a way, this is good, as it helps students prepare themselves for job searches later and equips them with knowledge on how to proceed. Many of our alumni have made it to Adobe, Microsoft, Amazon, etc. Most students from here are now working with big names in the IT industry. So we can say that once you get admission here, your future is more or less set.

The college is full of diversity with people coming from different states.

Placements: The placements are quite good here. Placement training is given to students who are qualified for placement. Different companies all over India come and recruit the best ones. They usually offer a huge amount of salary, and many students have already secured placements through this.

Infrastructure: The hostel facilities are the best. It has a mini football ground, a badminton court, a gym, and a volleyball and basketball court. It also has a table tennis room, foosball, snooker, and carrom board. The hostel seats are limited to around 200+ students. Regarding the mess, it’s not that good to be frank.

Faculty: I like the curriculum activities, such as the surprise tests conducted in the middle of class. Seminars are organized for each individual for career growth. They provide special breaks to prepare for exams. Class size is 60. The course fees is Rs. 56,500 per year.
