The Meghalaya Chief Minister serves as the state of India's Meghalaya's head of government. According to the Indian Constitution, a state's de facto executive authority is held by the chief minister, even though the governor is the de jure head of that state. The chief minister is chosen by the governor, and the assembly is ultimately in charge of his council of ministers. The chief minister's term is for five years and is unrestricted because the assembly has given him their support. Twelve people have held the position of Chief Minister of Meghalaya since 1970. Six of them belonged to the Indian National Congress, including Williamson A. Sangma, who held the first position. Conrad Sangma of the National People's Party has held the position as the incumbent since March 6, 2018.

Sangma said that the students from the state are allotted centres such as Ranchi, Jharkhand, Jorhat, Dibrugarh, Kolkata and other southern states of India which has left the students and their parents in disbelief and dismay.
