Remarks
IIM Shillong is one of the top 7 IIMs in the country and very aptly called the campus in clouds and is surrounded by beautiful cherry blossoms. It has a major focus on sustainability and has a very beautiful campus. It also provides a lot of opportunities for leisure and recreational activities. I had heard about it through former students.
Course Curriculum Overview
I chose the course because it is a comprehensive course with an effective pedagogy provided by high-class and experienced faculty who have previously taught or are currently associated with reputed B-Schools. The teaching method involves extensive use of cases studies and effective study material even in an online capacity. The exams were conducted in an organised and timely manner and we had to face no obstacles while giving the exams.
Placement Experience
100% of students receive campus placement. The students become eligible from the fifth semester onwards. The average package is 18 LPU. After completion of my degree, I plan to venture into the field of marketing.
Fees and Financial Aid
The approximate cost of the course is 20L. The highest package of the batch 2020 was 48.5 LPA with an average of approx. 18.76LPA. 100% of students have placed in finals as well as the internships. The highest stipend for summer internships was 3L for 2 months.
Campus Life
Life at the campus is very rewarding here at IIM Shillong. There are a lot of club and committee activities and the whole campus is very student-driven. The annual fest is called Khlurthma and attracts participation from various reputed schools from all over the country. The institute has a vast library offline as well as online which makes it very convenient for the students to gather study material and leisure reading.
Interview Experience
Yes, written ability test was followed by a group interview round and finally a Personal Interview round. The topics for these were opinion based on general topics like recent government policies, environmental issues and social issues prevalent. I read newspapers on a regular basis and general knowledge trivia from various sources.
