6 findings

  2. What you can study

  3. Getting in

  6. How it compares

    India has 475 universities, so North Eastern Hill University sits within a very large higher-education system. Its distinction is its status as a public central university in Shillong with jurisdiction tied to the northeastern hill areas, which may matter more to applicants looking for a regional university than to those comparing by subject lists or campus scale.
