IIM Shillong: 7 Answered Questions
How hard is it to get into IIM Shillong?
The competition for admission to most Indian Institutes of Management (IIMs) is typically fierce, as there are a large number of highly qualified candidates vying for a limited number of spots. While some IIMs may be more selective than others, the difference in the opportunities available to students after graduating from one IIM versus another is usually not significant, with most top recruiters hiring from a range of IIMs. This is especially true for IIMs like IIM Shillong and IIM Trichy, which have strong placement records and productive faculty.
To give a sense of the level of competition at IIM Shillong, it may be helpful to consider the percentile scores that are typically required for shortlisting. While an older IIM like IIM Ahmedabad or IIM Lucknow may not consider candidates with a CAT percentile score below 99% for most general category students (with some exceptions for certain groups such as economics/art students, females, and other deserving categories), IIM Shillong or IIM Trichy may consider candidates with a score as low as 98% or even slightly lower.
It's worth noting that this year, the competition for admission to IIM Shillong may be somewhat less intense due to the expansion of the batch sizes at the ABCL campuses. Campus A and B are planning batches of 450 students, with a goal of increasing to 650 students in the next few years. As a result, candidates may have a better chance of being admitted to IIM Shillong this year.
Overall, the admission process at IIM Shillong involves an initial review of the CAT merit list, followed by the consideration of scores for academic proficiency and the selection of a pool of 1000 students for every 200 seats at the campus for interviews. During the interview stage, only the candidates' CAT scores and their performance in the interview are taken into account. The final selection is made based on the ability of the candidates to adapt to the challenges of the corporate world and their potential to excel academically, as indicated by their high CAT scores.
Do IIM Shillong take class 10/12 marks into consideration?
The class 10 and 12th marks are not directly linked to the shortlisting of GD/PI and even for Final Selection in IIM Shillong.
IIM Shillong has not defined the weightage for academics for 2022 MBA admissions. An expected set of scores, for students from different categories, is as follows:
|
Category |
Class 10 marks |
Class 12 marks |
|
General |
80 |

EWS |

|
SC |
55 |

|
ST |

PWD |

Candidates who fulfill the above cutoff criteria will be considered for shortlisting into PI rounds and will be segregated as per their discipline in graduation.
Which one should I join NITIE PGDIM or IIM Shillong?
There are several factors to consider when deciding between NITIE and IIM Shillong. NITIE, established in 1963, has a larger pool of alumni and may offer networking opportunities that could be beneficial in the long run. It is also known as a mecca for operations, with all major firms hiring for operational roles. NITIE is located in Mumbai, which may be seen as a location advantage. On the other hand, IIM Shillong was established more recently in 2008 and has a smaller batch size. Its fees are also lower, at around 20 lakhs.
While it may not have the same reputation for PGDIM or operations as NITIE, top consulting firms have started to hire from IIM Shillong, offering options from a variety of domains. One potential advantage of IIM Shillong is its IIM tag, which may be attractive to some candidates. However, its location in Shillong may be seen as a disadvantage. Ultimately, candidates must weigh these factors carefully to make the best decision for their individual needs and goals.
Should I join IIM Shillong? How good is it compared to other older IIMs, especially for finance?
You are asking whether you should take it or not so I will assume that you are planning to take a drop year otherwise. However, preparing and attempting CAT again is not a cakewalk. It requires a lot of determination and motivation and still does not guarantee that you will get a call from an old IIM.
IIM Shillong is rather a good choice for finance. You can contact some of its alumni to get more information on the same. Since your profile is good, Indore is also a good option for you.
But if you are adamant about joining the old IIMs, then focus on one single goal. Getting maximum percentile in CAT. Start preparing as soon as you decide to drop the year. Anything above 99.7 will guarantee you a call from one of the older IIMs. I have seen many people attempt CAT 3-4 times just to get into their choice of IIMs.
It all comes down to your determination. Like I said, dropping a year requires a lot of determination, so choose this path wisely. Else consider the various other options you have.
With 93.1/74/92.5 in 10, 12, UG with no work experience, how much percentile can get me SPJIMR, NMIMS, and baby IIM like Shillong?
Having no work experience is not the main barrier to get into B schools. Your 10th and UG marks are very good and 12th marks are decent, however, I want to make it clear that IIM Shillong is not among the baby IIMs or the new generation iims.
It is far better than new iims and making place among BLACKI. SPJIMR accepts CAT score for its admission and you will be requiring above 94 percentile for open category. NMIMS accept SNAP exam score. And for IIM shillong 95+ percentile is required.
Should I join IIM Shillong or Krannert Purdue for an MBA? Please answer considering the USA market conditions.
It is important to consider the reputation and brand strength of both IIM Shillong and Purdue University when making a decision about which institution to attend. While IIM Shillong is a well-respected business school in India, Purdue University is a globally recognized institution with a strong reputation. If a candidate has confidence in their own abilities and is willing to take a risk, Purdue University may offer more opportunities and a different career path than IIM Shillong.
However, if a candidate is unsure of their ability to succeed or is looking for a more established and reliable path, IIM Shillong may be a better choice. It is important to carefully consider one's own goals and abilities before making a decision about which institution to attend.
Should I take admission in IIM Shillong this year or prepare again next year?
If you want to target ABC L, having a 70% BE may be a concern. However, it's important to consider your risk appetite and the rationale behind pursuing an MBA. Some people may choose to wait and apply to higher-ranked IIMs, while others may decide to take the risk and apply to a school like IIM Shillong. It's also worth considering that getting into a college with better rankings can be a great feeling, but you should also weigh the risk and return of your decision.
It might be helpful to consider the pros and cons of different options and try to get a bigger picture of your goals before making a decision. Keep in mind that some people with lower GMAT scores or undergraduate grades have been able to get into top schools like Kellogg's and Michigan, while others have been successful in technical fields without pursuing an MBA. Ultimately, it's important to consider your individual circumstances and make a decision that is right for you.
