About NLU MEG

Constitutional Morality is not a natural sentiment. It has to be cultivated. We must realise that our people have yet to learn it. Democracy in India is only a top-dressing on an Indian soil which is essentially undemocratic.
Dr. B. R. Ambedkar

The Campus

Located in the midst of a hilly region with breathtaking views, our Shillong campus is ideal for students looking for a calm and scenic environment for their studies. Our university is built on a historic property to seamlessly combine modern amenities and cutting-edge infrastructure.
Understanding the importance of refreshing experiences, we plan to take our students on exciting outdoor adventures like hiking and camping.

Such events will help our students to socialize and develop new skills that will be useful in their lives.
Here, we believe that education is not only limited to textbooks and lectures. Rather, we aim to provide an extensive learning experience that helps stimulate creativity, promote personal growth and encourage a sense of belonging within our students.
