The environment at NEHU is unique. It is a sort of mix of both Indian English Medium of education, American style,and a slice of mainland Indians, the most important touch of British back then. Here is a brief highlight of the institute.

• It is the oldest Central University in North East India.
• One of the few 'A' grade universities in the region.
• Consists of many departments of different fields including Arts, Science & Commerce.
• Faculties are good & experienced.
• The campus is very big and beautiful as it is located in Meghalaya.

Here, learning in such an environment is really amazing. It is just not about academics but learning in nature makes you more focused.
