Meghalaya's first state-run university begins PG admissions, offers admissions without CUET
In the Tura campus, postgraduate programmes are available in Anthropology, Economics, Education, Environmental Science, Garo, Geography, History, Philosophy, Political Science and Sociology. The Shillong campus will offer postgraduate (PG) courses in Commerce, English, Khasi and Social Work, which are also simultaneously available at the Tura campus, he said.
Established in 2011 through an Act of the state government, CWSSU operates from its permanent campus in Tura. The campus was constructed under Special Plan Assistance with an allocation of ₹16.96 crore and completed in December 2022. With academic blocks, hostels, and administrative facilities, the campus has an area of more than 90 acres.
The university is recognised under Section 2(f) of the UGC Act, 1956, and is empowered to award degrees independently. The University Grants Commission (UGC) formally approved its degree-awarding status in December 2024. The institution began academic operations this year, with the Shillong campus set to open shortly.
Admissions to CWSSU's PG programmes do not require the Common University Entrance Test (CUET), making the university an attractive option for students across the state. At least 11 colleges from across the state have been granted affiliation with the University. These colleges also admit students without CUET, unlike those under NEHU, which are bound by the CUET requirement as per NEP 2020.
According to official sources, admissions to the PG courses will remain open for at least two to three weeks, and the application procedures and course details are available on the university's website.

Angel One to invest Rs 400 cr in life insurance JV with Singapores Livwell
Agency: PTI Mumbai, Jul 23 (PTI) Domestic brokerage Angel One on Wednesday announced a plan to invest at least Rs 400 crore in a life insurance company in a joint venture with Singapore's Livwell Holding Company. The domestic company, which has interests across the financial services landscape, will hold a 26 per cent stake in the venture while its Singaporean partner will hold the rest 74 per cent, a statement said. This will be a 'digital-first' life insurance company, the statement said, adding that India is 'overwhelmingly" under insured. 'As India embraces digital financial services, insurance too must be accessible, transparent and seamlessly delivered through trusted platforms," Angel One's group chief executive Ambarish Kenghe said. Wilf Blackburn, ex-regional CEO of Prudential Asia, is proposed to chair the proposed venture, while Nikhil Verma, former deputy CEO of Aviva Vietnam, is proposed to lead as CEO. Livwell is backed by PE major Olympus Capital, who has other bets including HDFC Bank, CreditAccess Grameen, Thai Credit Bank, Karur Vysya Bank, Utkarsh SFB and CreditAccess Life Insurance. 'India presents a unique opportunity not just because of the protection gap, but because consumer expectations have fundamentally evolved. With Angel One's digital reach and market credibility, we see a strong alignment to build a next-generation digital-insurer that is relevant to today's customers, accessible and future-ready," Verma said.
