Placements & Internships : The first placement process that we had to go through was the summer internship process and in our year it was 100 percent. Some of the most prominent companies like JP Morgan, Mahindra & Mahindra, Flipkart, HSBC, ICICI etc visit Indian Institute of Management for placements and also PSU like HPCL participated in the Summer Internship Process. Even for our seniors, the final placements was outstanding. Companies like Google, Deloitte, L'Oreal, SBI Caps, JP Morgan, Amazon and much more visited our campus for the final placement.

Academics & Faculty : The academic schedule of IIM Shillong is rigorous and the environment is such that every student of this institute learns the importance of time management which is essential in the corporate world. The normal class timings are from 9 AM- 6 PM but since it is a residential course the classes are sometimes extended. Many live projects are given to us which help us in having an idea about the problems faced in the real corporate world. While in the first year we are given an idea about every domain of management and in the 2nd year we have the liberty to choose our domain/domains of interest. The number of electives given to us is about 85 which includes important subjects like Sustainable Management (one of the few institutes which concentrate in this area). The small batch size of our institute leads to more focus and better mentoring by teachers. We are even facilitated by visiting faculties to give us a better industry exposure.

Fees & Scholarships : To do PGDM from IIM Shillong students pay a rough estimate of about Rs. 12 lakhs for the whole course, as college fees. While this may sound a lot but PGDM from IIMs are costly but its worth it. In a way its an investment rather than spending. The students can avail student loans from many banks like Central Bank of India, SBI, Canara bank and much more and a student can avail loans up to Rs. 20 lakhs. There are many scholarships which are offered for meritorious and needful students.
