Marketing strategy @Amex| Summer Analyst Goldman Sachs

IIM Shillong was established in 2007 as the 7th Indian Institute of Management, located in the North-East region of India. The programs offered at this institute include postgraduate diplomas, executive diplomas, and doctoral programs. The admission process at IIM Shillong is similar to other IIMs, with applicants being evaluated based on their scores on exams such as the CAT, GMAT, GATE, and GRE. Candidates for doctoral programs are also shortlisted based on their performance in the Junior Research Fellowship (JRF).

Tier 1 MBA colleges in India are among the highest-ranked management institutes in the country, and many of their students secure positions at top companies. These colleges are highly competitive and have a strong brand value, which can be beneficial for students as they begin their careers. Although IIM Shillong is considered a tier 1 b-school, it does not rank among the top 10 in India. The top 10 tier 1 MBA colleges in India typically include IIM Ahmedabad, IIM Bangalore, IIM Calcutta, IIM Lucknow, FMS Delhi, XLRI, IIM Kozhikode, SP Jain, Jamnalal Bajaj, and IIM Indore. Some people may also consider the Indian School of Business (ISB) to be a top tier 1 MBA college due to its one-year program.

Which IIM is better, IIM Shillong, IIM Ranchi or IIM Rohtak? Why?

HS
Harsh Singhal Posted On : May 19th, 2023
MBA from Indian Institute of Management Rohtak (2020)

Every MBA aspirant faces the duration of multiple converts which leaves him in a dilemma for choosing the right Institute. Several points need to be considered before choosing the right Institute.

  • Location: For MBA students, exposure is very crucial. IIM Rohtak being situated in NCR, has the location advantage of providing industrial exposure, thereby enabling students to learn and grow. Such a locational advantage also allows many eminent industry experts to visit the campus and conduct guest lectures which maximize exposure. 
  • Peer: One of the major highlights of an MBA program is the social bonds you develop with your peers and seniors that stay with you throughout your career. IIM Rohtak has the best peer pool one could ask for.
  • Placements: Most of the new IIMs have similar placement statistics. But the uniqueness of IIM Rohtak lies in the fact that it is one of those very few colleges across the country, which follow IPRS standards and is audited by CRISIL, thus the authenticity of the report cannot be questioned.
  • Newly appointed director: The new director Prof Dheeraj Sharma has made fast-paced changes right from the beginning. He has sped up the construction work, hired new faculties, and launched a few new courses. 
  • Infrastructure: The campus is large and enthralling spread across 650 acres MDU campus with facilities such as a sports complex, swimming pool, Bloomberg lab etc.
  • Extracurriculars: Yearly events and summits are held to keep the students active and immersed in various co-curricular activities.

Overall, the ambiance at IIM Rohtak is very promising and I would choose it over any new IIM.
