Course Curriculum Overview

4.5

IIM Shillong being the 7th oldest IIM ,after IIM Indore , provide one of the best PGP program . My rationale behind choosing PGP course of IIM Shillong was it being a general course ,without any specialisation. It gives opportunity to explore all fields of management like Marketing, Analytics , Operations ,HR , Consulting etc, and didn't restrict your career scope to one specialisation. There are in total 42 faculty members for PGP core course ,evenly covering all domains of studies. Additionally ,in each trimester college keep on inviting guest faculties as well. All faculties have done Phd in their fields , which clearly reflects in their teaching style. IIM Shillong conduct 3 trimesters each year. Academics become pretty tough ,if a student is not good at time management accommodating with stress. IIM Shillong is pretty hectic and tough in terms of exams and academics.

Internships Opportunities

4.5

A summer internship cycle is run for student of first year, as doing a 2 months internship is part of curriculum and add credit. College is successful for 100 % internship placement for all the students. Big companies like cluster of MBB , Deloitte, EY etc visit for summers as well. Based on performance they even give PPO . Last year 85 PPOs were given to the batch of 200. Projects during internship depends on the role you have been picked for . It will include projects related to finance, consulting, HR , sales , Marketing ,operations etc.

Placement Experience

IIM Shillong has 100% placement record . Last year 85 pre-placement offers were made and 63 recruiters visited campus for final placements. MBB visit campus.

Currently , for the Batch of 2023-25 , total fees is Rs. 2500000, including tution fees , hostel fees ,Mess fees etc. Term wise breakup is Rs. 572800, Rs. 355000, Rs. 345000, Rs. 539000, Rs. 3400000, Rs. 330000 for Term I ,TermII ,Term III ,Term IV ,Term V and Term VI respectively. This is stagnant from past few years and no recent hike is expected. IIM shillong provide "Need Based FInancial Assistance " to few economically challenged participants. After you join the program and apply for the scholarship , a seperate committee will look after this and the interested participants will be required to present their case . Governement of India scholarships are also available to those who fulfill the necessary criteria.

Campus Life

IIM Shillong campus life is full of joy and sorrow. Academic plus placement rigour will make you feel like fish without water but then having lovley friends around plus supporting teachers will make it joyful. College has 22 Club and Committees in total . Each club has their own flagship event which they conduct once every year according to their timeline. Additionally clubs and comittess keep on conducting fun events and sessions for the whole batch. "Nirvana" is the annual fest of IIM Shillong .

Admission is facillitated through the CAT score,with the exam taking place in the month of November every year. Application forms are available from August. Applicants can apply for all IIMs ,including IIM Shillong through CAT form. As a General category candidate, I did not avail any reservation benefits. Notably , IIM shillong assigns a 15% weightage to work experience , and my direct offer was based on an evaluation of 85%. It's worth mentioning that freshers may need to invest additional effort in the GD and PI processes at IIM Shillong. Interestingly , IIM Shillong uniquely conducts GD before PI , unlike other IIMs.

Placement Experience:

The placements are good enough but the statistics don't paint the whole picture and they somewhat hide the whole picture. The highest package was around 32 lakhs per annum and the average was around 16-17 Lakhs per annum. Around 95% of students get placed quite easily.
