There is often a misunderstanding about placements at IIMs after course completion. It is important to understand that placements are entirely student-driven and depend on the individual's efforts and abilities. Many PGPEX programs at IIMs have a significant number of students from IT services, and these students may not be as diversified or knowledgeable about other industry segments. This can create a gap between the companies and the students and may result in a lower placement rate for some students.

Unfortunately, many students who enroll in PGPEX programs do so based on their academic profiles or high scores on entrance exams, rather than their knowledge or experience in other industries. As a result, students who come from non-IT backgrounds may be more successful in securing placements due to their diverse understanding of general management. This is a common issue at all IIMs, and even IIM-L and IIM-I are taking steps to reduce these risks.

If you are planning to pursue PGPEx program from IIM Shillong, then it will be the right choice due to various obvious reasons and factors.

First of all, since this program started in 2012 in IIM Shillong it is continuously changing and keeps updating according to the latest market trends and standards.
The course, faculty, and learning methods keep changing every year which increases the interest and engagement of students.
If your main motto is learning and to get an experience that lasts lifelong then this program is best for you.

A close friend of mine has also completed the PGPEx program and is one of the alumni of IIM Shillong. He has shared his personal experience and as per his suggestion, this program is best as it includes international exposure as well. The program offers educational trips to countries like China and provides internships in some of the best Chinese companies as well.

You can learn more about the culture, business values, and business ethics from Chinese people which will add an extra feather in the nest of your experience. Even after the completion of the course the placements and support from alumni & industry contacts of faculties are best which you’ll don’t get while pursuing the same course in any other institute.
