How is IIM Shillong for HR in terms of placements, roles offered, and recruiting companies? Also, how many students from then entire batch opt for HR as a specialization?
If you have decided to take up Human Resources as your specialization then your top priority should be options such as XLRI, TISS, SCMHRD, and MDI. Beyond these options the placement opportunities in other colleges for the HR domain are limited and you have to struggle to bag good offers. Even top IIM’s receive very limited opportunities for the domain of Human resources.
A total of 170 students were there in the 2020 batch at IIM Shillong. Out of the 185 offers made, only 7% of them were from Human Resources & operations domain combined.
The highest package received by the students in this domain was 48.5 LPA. Some of the companies that visited for the particular domains were D.E. Shaw, Moglix, TATA Steel, Tillomed Laboratories, and Titan. An increase in the package offered was recorded in this season by 42.5%.
It must be noted that very few students opt for HR as a career option in IIM Shillong. You will not find great opportunities in this domain.
I got 88 in 10th, 73 in 12th, and 75 in graduation. How much percentile do I need for IIM Shillong?
Admission to IIM Shillong may be competitive, as the institute places a strong emphasis on academic performance in its admissions process. While a score near 98 may be sufficient to be considered for admission, candidates who wish to increase their chances of being accepted (around 80%) may need to aim for a score closer to 99.
It is important for candidates to put in the effort to prepare for the admissions process and strive to achieve a high score in order to have a better chance of being accepted to IIM Shillong. It is advisable for candidates to take the necessary steps to improve their academic performance and increase their chances of being admitted to this competitive institute.
Which course should I choose between IIML ABM, SPJAIN IM and IIM Shillong PGP?
No matter which B School you choose, PGP is always a better choice than ABM. But there might be a specific reason why you got an ABM offer rather than a PGP. But at IIM Lucknow, students of both programs are offered equal opportunities. These include final placements. summer placements and subsequent PPOs.
The major drawback of ABM is that you are deprived of the PGP electives and can cover ABM electives only. These electives cover strategy marketing and operations.
Talking about your offer from SP JAIN for IM, let me tell you that in this regard, IIM Shillong is a much better choice. Its campus in Dubai is a testament to its worth.
Which is a better college between SJMSOM and IIM Shillong?
IIM Shillong is the better college among these. The institute puts emphasis on hands-on learning. You will learn how to handle real-time issues. The coursework and teaching go well beyond classroom learning. IIM Shillong has made great strides in recent years in terms of facilities and infrastructure. It has an impressive placement record. IIM Shillong placements in 2022 witnessed the highest CTC of INR 55.22 LPA. This year the major recruiters were Deloitte, DE Shaw, TATA Steel, etc.
Would it be a mistake if I choose IIM Trichy over IIM Shillong?
IIM Shillong has recently celebrated its 13th year, and this year's placements have been better than in previous years. These placements have been more successful than those at IIM Trichy, and the roles offered have also been of a higher quality. In terms of infrastructure, IIM Trichy has an advantage, but the faculty at both institutes is roughly comparable. Based on current trends, it is advised to consider IIM Shillong for its strong placement record and improving performance.
While placements at IIM Trichy are not bad and students can expect to receive good roles and pay, IIM Shillong currently holds the lead in terms of success in placements. Some students at IIM Trichy have even left the institute for IIM Shillong due to its stronger placement performance.
Should I join the PGP of IIM Shillong?
Asking others if you should join a certain program is illogical. I think it’s a decision that you have to take solely yourself. People can guide you in your decision but cannot make the decision on your behalf. That is exactly what I am here for. I will list down the parameters you should consider while making your decision. The rest is up to you.
- Try looking at other available options at hand. Comparing your options is a good way to decide on your B School.
- Ask yourself if you are confident enough to drop a year and attempt for CAT again just to try your shot at a better B School.
- Check whether the domain specialization of IIM, the companies that visit the campus and the roles they offer are in line with your career interests.
Once you are sure about these things, making a good decision will become easier for you.
With 93.1/74/92.5 in 10, 12, UG with no work experience, how much percentile can get me SPJIMR, NMIMS, and baby IIM like Shillong?
Having no work experience is not the main barrier to get into B schools. Your 10th and UG marks are very good and 12th marks are decent, however, I want to make it clear that IIM Shillong is not among the baby IIMs or the new generation iims.
It is far better than new iims and making place among BLACKI. SPJIMR accepts CAT score for its admission and you will be requiring above 94 percentile for open category. NMIMS accept SNAP exam score. And for IIM shillong 95+ percentile is required.
Is IIM Shillong good enough? Can others like IIM Ranchi/Rohtak overtake it due to its locational disadvantage.
If you are considering pursuing an MBA from IIM Shillong, you should definitely go ahead and apply. Your salary prospects after completing an MBA from IIM Shillong will likely be significantly better. However, if you are not confident in your ability to prepare for the CAT as well as you did previously, or if your motivation is not at its highest, it may be best to wait and give the exam another shot when you are better prepared and more motivated.
Motivation can be a fickle thing, and it is important to take advantage of it when it is present. Ultimately, the decision to pursue an MBA from IIM Shillong or to wait and give the CAT another try is a personal one that will depend on your individual circumstances and goals.
How good is IIM Raipur, and what is the position amongst the six new IIMs and Shillong?
Firstly let me clarify one thing. IIM Raipur cannot be compared to IIM Shillong because the latter is out of the league and is no longer a new IIM. Its worth and placements are much better than the newer IIMs and are in the league of old IIMs. We can only compare IIM Raipur to the 6 new IIMs namely Raipur, Ranchi, Rohtak, Trichy, Udaipur, and Kashipur.
After Shillong, one new IIM that gives an edge to older IIMs is Ranchi mainly because it works under the mentorship of IIM Calcutta. The placement statistics of IIM Ranchi are a testament to the same.
After Ranchi comes to Trichy, one of the fastest-growing IIMs. It has a decent placement scenario and a better professional approach.
Raipur and Udaipur are almost similar and are better than Kashipur and Rohtak. Raipur especially enjoys location advantage being situated in the capital of Chattisgarh. The faculty base is also quite learned and the institute has proper connectivity.
Kashipur has many connectivity issues but is famous for its guest lectures and interaction with industry experts.
IIM Rohtak is the last in line mainly because of its pathetic placement scenario which overshadows its vicinity to Delhi.
So the final order is
Shillong>Ranchi>Trichy>Raipur=Udaipur>Kashipur>Rohtak
Between IIM Shillong, SJMSOM, and IIM Trichy, which college is best? I am looking for a good learning experience and placements.
The Shailesh J. Mehta School of Management (SJMSOM) in Mumbai offers several advantages to its students. According to a report, the highest salary package for the 2022 batch at SJMSOM was approximately 49.39% higher than the previous year, at INR 49 LPA. The average salary for the 2020-2022 batch was also 18.1% higher than the previous year, at INR 25.9 LPA.
SJMSOM attracts highly prestigious companies for recruitment, including JP Morgan, ICICI Bank, Infosys Consulting, KPMG Global Services, PwC India, Wipro, and MAQ Software, among others. The smaller batch size at SJMSOM allows for more opportunities for students to participate in activities and committees, promoting their holistic development.
SJMSOM also offers a high number of live projects and industry interaction sessions, providing students with knowledge and experience beyond what is found in textbooks. When considering SJMSOM as an option, students may also be considering other institutes such as IIM K or IIM I. It is worth noting that while IIM Trichy is a good college, new IIMs may still be in the process of establishing themselves.
