Like most of other IIMs, IIM Shillong has a very hectic schedule. Classes start at 9 in the morning and goes on till 6 in the evening. Sometimes there are extra classes and I have personally attended classes up to 2 AM in the night, but that is very rare. Also the rule of minimum 85% attendance makes it absolutely critical to attend classes. But attending classes is not all, there is hours of preparation before attending any class. You have to read and analyze the case study that is supposed to be discussed in next class before going to class, there are frequent presentations, projects and assignments in every subject. There is a mid-term exam (20% weightage) and an end term exam (40% weightage).
That is just the start, best part is the pedagogy followed by IIM Shillong. We have a case study method of teaching and teachers act as facilitators. Students are the participants who are supposed to come prepared in class and then discuss the topic/case in class. Facilitators (teachers) are expected to help them out by showing them right direction during discussion and adding new dimension to it. Those discussions and cases are from real life companies and cases. By attempting those cases, you get an idea of real life problem and you can see what kind of decision as a leader you will make. Also by means of regular assignments, project and presentation exercise, it is made sure that everyone is well attuned to the corporate environment.
MBA being a 2year course and the fact that IIM Shillong is extremely challenging, I would say your tenure at IIM Shillong would be like a true Roller coaster ride which would be thrilling and quick. You will gain a lot, learn new things and one thing is guaranteed- You will be transformed into a completely different individual at the end of those 2 years at IIM Shillong.
There are total 9 committee in IIM Shillong
Following are the name of clubs in IIM Shillong:-

Kopda Cup and Ranbhoomi are intra college sports fest and games like cricket, football, chess, badminton, volleyball etc. are played there.
The cultural committee celebrates every festival with students and that really makes our campus a home away from home.
The life in general will remain strained due to the rigor and hectic nature of the course but still once you get accustomed to the B-school rigor you will get time for yourself and even pursue some of your hobbies.

Academics & Faculty : The courses available are vast and quite exhaustive in all the domains at Indian Institute of Management. We get to study some good subjects as electives as well as compulsory subjects like Talent Assessment and Management, Rural Marketing, Risk Management, etc and also certain courses on Sustainable Business which are not taught in many IIMs. IIM Shillong, like any other IIM, offers a General Management degree, unlike other B-Schools which offers specialisations. Overall, the choice and relevance of courses are very apt along with the reading materials provided. We, the students, can also propose new courses for the electives and they will even be included in our curriculum if found important. The classes can sometimes get really hectic but that's the least one should expect from an IIM. We get multiple projects/assignments, case studies, group presentations, surprise quizzes, etc every day.
