Is it good to do Executive MBA from IIM Shillong being a mechanical engineer having 5 years of experience in manufacturing industry?

An Executive MBA from any IIM will be worth it. Since you have 5 years of experience in the manufacturing industry, it’ll be an advantage for you. Unless you are keen to learn in this field you should not opt for IIM Shillong as the placement percentage in the manufacturing sector is as low as 13%.
