Entrance Preview
I took CAT exam in 2013 and scored 98. 74 percentile. With a decent (not great) profile, I had calls from IIM Shillong and 6 new IIMs. I have always been interested in Finance and according to my research, IIM Shillong was by far the best choice for me in finance.
Course Curriculum Overview
It is very interactive, classes and sessions are designed as per industry requirements. It is hectic at times but it teaches you how to deal in real life corporate scenario. The biggest aspect of this course is the pedagogy of case study learning, it really helps one grasp the concept from real life scenarios.
Internships Opportunities
Yes, At IIM Shillong we have a placement committee. They coordinate with faculty members and corporate and invite them for summer internship process. I had interned in JP Morgan and I managed to learn as much as anyone could expect. The workload was huge and we had to toil hard but at the same time people were supportive and always encouraged us to learn. General stipend at IIM Shillong can be found in placement report released every year.
Placement Experience
Last year IIM Shillong experienced 100% placement at ease. I believe being in north east is a blessing in disguise. We are used to working hard and as much as I know, corporate really like our alumni. I cannot quote any numbers as this year's final placement report is yet to be released but historically IIM Shillong have always had 100% placement. Also brands like Mahindra, Deloitte, JP Morgan, Aditya Birla group and many more have been associated with us.
