Shillong College

Shillong College sits right on Boyce Road in the Laitumkhrah area. If you’ve been to Shillong, you know this part of town is always active with students and shops. The weather here can be quite rainy, so you’ll often see students walking up the road with umbrellas heading to class. We have a variety of departments and the buildings are spread out a bit. It’s an old place with a lot of history in these hills. We don't try to look like those new private universities; we have a more traditional feel. The corridors are often filled with the sound of students talking in different languages. Our staff members are mostly locals who have been part of the Shillong community for decades. We deal with everything from admissions to organizing local events on the grounds. The views from some of the upper windows are pretty nice when the mist clears up. It’s a busy life here on Boyce Road. We focus on getting the lectures done and making sure the students have what they need for their practical exams. There's no big marketing team here, just us doing our jobs and keeping the college running for the people of Meghalaya. It’s a simple, honest place to get an education. Even when the clouds are low and it’s cold outside, the classrooms stay busy with people trying to better themselves through their studies. We just keep going, year after year.
