North-Eastern Hill University (NEHU) has a very peaceful environment and extremely friendly people. This institute can be good but it does not meet the expectations in terms of providing quality education. 

If you don’t want to struggle in your work-life, it will be wise not to choose NEHU. One of my friends is a faculty there and she is not happy with the academic environment and work culture at the institute. 

Besides all the bad reviews there are a few departments that are decent. 

• School of Technology is a new addition to NEHU. It still has a lot to improve. It lacks the competitive environment and a Techfest of its own that a good technical institute should have. However, currently, it is better than various other private colleges in India. Besides, this department is bestowed with a handful of skilled faculty.
• According to various student reviews, the Department of Botany and Zoology are good; and the Department of Physics, Mathematics, Economics, and Chemistry are average.

Lastly, it has a diverse nature of students and comes with an extremely beautiful campus.

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.

North-Eastern Hill University doesn’t provide BA in Mass Communication. The department of Journalism and Mass Communication of NEHU offers a Masters's in Jurnalism and Mass Communication only. You need to have a bachelor's degree of three years or more in any discipline with at least 50% aggregate to apply for this course.
