    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.

    Honest review of my college.
    Placements: The placements are quite okay. Unlike other colleges, in the past, various companies like Google, some BPOs, and many companies came from time to time to recruit students. This puts 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 buildings with separate 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. 8000 per month. PG's are also available around the college, which cost around Rs. 4000 per month.
    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.

    There is no widespread information suggesting NEHU has stopped offering most B.Sc courses like Botany and Zoology.
