Sankardev College Shillong

Sankardev College in Shillong, named after the Assamese saint-scholar Srimanta Sankardeva, has taught undergraduates in Meghalaya's capital since 1969 and holds an A grade from NAAC with UGC recognition. Its ground is the humanities — English, economics, history and political science, extending to postgraduate work in English — taught under the regional central university's degree framework. Shillong is one of the North East's genuine college towns: a temperate hill capital with a dense cluster of institutions, a literary and musical culture, and living costs below the big metros, drawing students from across Meghalaya and neighbouring states. Within that crowded local field, Sankardev is an established, affordable mid-tier choice with a particular pull for students from Assamese-speaking communities. It suits those seeking a settled humanities education in a pleasant hill city rather than professional or technical training.
