St Edmund's College Shillong

St Edmund's College was founded in 1923 by the Christian Brothers and has been part of Shillong's educational identity ever since, drawing students from across Meghalaya and the wider North-East. It is essentially a liberal-arts institution — English, economics, history and political science are its core strengths — with a reputation resting on classroom teaching, discipline and an active sporting culture rather than research output. The college carries an A grade from NAAC and holds an NIRF rank of 23. Shillong itself is a compact hill city with a mild climate and a long collegiate tradition, which makes for an affordable, walkable student life. The college suits students from the region who want a humanities degree from an established institution close to home, as well as outsiders drawn to studying in the hills.
