Which one should be preferred IIM Shillong or SJMSOM?

From a placement perspective, companies often prefer candidates with experience in manufacturing or construction, or a related field. This has been observed by some of the students, who had difficulty securing their desired operations jobs. However, it is worth noting that there are also opportunities available for those who do not have such closely related experience.

SJMSOM may be a better choice for those interested in operations than IIM Shillong. Some may argue that the IIM brand carries more weight in the long term, but once an individual has been placed and has gained sufficient experience, it is their track record that truly matters. It is recommended to speak with current students at the school of interest, avoiding the public relations committee as they may be biased, to better understand placement prospects for a particular profile. This can help inform the decision of where to pursue an MBA.
