St. Anthony's College, Shillong

St. Anthony's College in Shillong, established in 1934 and run by the Salesians of Don Bosco, is one of Meghalaya's most established colleges — autonomous, government-aided and affiliated to North-Eastern Hill University. Commerce and business programmes anchor its current listing, though the college's standing rests on decades of undergraduate teaching for students from across the Northeast hills. Its aided status keeps fees accessible, and the Catholic educational tradition shapes an orderly, community-minded campus culture. Shillong is a compact hill-station capital with a strong student atmosphere and a mild climate, and the college sits in the middle of it. It holds an A NAAC grade and a NIRF rank of 58 among colleges. It suits students from Meghalaya and neighbouring states wanting an affordable, reputable degree in the region's main education hub.
