Student driven college, all the activities right from the placement to running hostel and mess, everything done was done by the batch only.
Loved the campus location, mine was the old campus: Mayurbhanj Palace.
The faculties are outstanding. Most of the help you equip yourself with the skills and knowledge required for the next phase of life.

Admission:

The entrance exam is CAT, with cut-off percentiles varying for different profiles. Then you have a WAT(Written ability test) and then a Personal Interview, the selection is tough.

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.

The admission criteria was a Case Bases GD and also in addition there is no such thing as minimum marks as the admission process has a very big weightage given to the interview so there is no lower limit to the marks you would have to enter the college. The process was fairly smooth and the counseling day was fairly quick and you had to submit the required documents which included the 10th 12th and the undergraduate mark sheets.

IIM Shillong: 5 Answered Questions

Can I get a call from IIM Shillong at 92.24 percentile?

Palak GoyalLives in New Delhi

My sister received a call from IIM Shillong at 91.5 percentile, a few years back. But she had other things working for her like gender diversity, academic diversity, and a work experience of 2 years. Don’t lose hope, and prepare for the interview. If it doesn’t work, try again next year. But if the opportunity does knock on your door, be prepared to receive it. You can check out the basic overall and sectional cutoffs for CAT 2023 at IIM Shillong.

How much GMAT score is required in IIM Shillong?

Nishant ShouriMBA General Management & Marketing, Indian Institute of Management Shillong (2019)

IIM Shillong accepts GMAT scores of only for

International students for the PGP flagship program
The Executive PGP program

For International students who are targeting the PGP flagship program, the cutoff is as follows

Category	SSC Percentage	HSC percentage
General	80	80
EWS	80	80
DA	50	50
ST	50	50
SC	55	55

So a good GMAT score for an International student is anything above 700.

For the Executive program too, a GMAT score of 700+ is a good target. If your profile is average you can target a higher GMAT score.

What is IIM Shillong's overall cut-off?

Yash RajStudied at IIM Shillong

At present, the overall CAT cutoff at IIM Shillong for general category is around 90 percentile, and the sectional cutoff is 75 percentile. This is just the minimum required percentile. The call is received by candidates who have a strong academic background other than a good CAT result. The next steps after the CAT exam are WAT and PI.

For the final shortlisting after PI round, IIM Shillong assigns 30% weightage to CAT score, 40% to PI score, 10% weightage to work experience, and 15% to class 10th and 12th score. You can check the 2023 CAT sectional cutoffs for various categories at IIM Shillong.

Can a general category student convert IIM Indore or Shillong at 92 percentile? (With a reasonably okay WAT-PI) (with good academics but as a fresher)?

Mayank SinghaniyaStudied at IIM Indore

While the selection process for admission to IIM Indore and IIM Shillong varies from year to year and depends on various factors such as the number of applicants, the quality of the applicant pool, and the cut-offs set by the institutes.

It is generally considered challenging to secure admission to these institutes with a 92 percentile in the Common Admission Test (CAT) as a general category student. But if you are from the EWS category then it is not that difficult. Also, the CAT percentile is just one of the criteria that are considered for admission to IIMs, institutes also take into account several other factors such as academic performance, work experience (if any), and performance in the Written Ability Test (WAT) and Personal Interview (PI).

If you have a strong academic record, try and perform well in the WAT-PI, and if you are able to demonstrate your potential for academic excellence and leadership, then you have a good chance of securing admission to IIM Indore or IIM Shillong.

How much percentile I need to get into IIMs like Nagpur, Rohtak, Shillong, Kashipur if I am a General, male and Non engineer?

Aditi BanerjeeLives in Bangalore

IIMs consider several factors for admission which are academic performance, work experience, and performance in the Common Admission Test (CAT) to get a call. The cut-off percentile for admission in each IIM varies from year to year and it depends on factors like the number of applicants, the difficulty of the exam, and the availability of seats.

In general, non-engineer male candidates need to score above the 95 percentiles in the CAT exam to have a good chance of being shortlisted for the IIMs you have mentioned (Nagpur, Rohtak, Shillong, and Kashipur). It might change and you will need a lower percentile if you have some work experience, meeting the cut-off percentile does not guarantee admission, as the IIMs also consider other factors such as academic background, work experience, and performance in the personal interview and written ability test.

So, it's important to perform well in all the above factors mentioned in the admission process to increase your chances of getting into your desired IIM.
