IIM Shillong: 8 Answered Questions

Ques. How hard is it to get into IIM Shillong?

● Top Answer By Aprajita Shukla on 21 Jan 23

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....Read more

Ques. Do IIM Shillong take class 10/12 marks into consideration?

● Top Answer By Udit Bhatiya on 16 Jan 23

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 80 EWS 80 80 SC 55 55 ST 50 50 PWD 50 50 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....Read more

Ques. Which one should I join NITIE PGDIM or IIM Shillong?

● Top Answer By Harshit Hooda on 23 Jan 23

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....Read more

Ques. Should I join IIM Shillong? How good is it compared to other older IIMs, especially for finance?

● Top Answer By Kedar Nath on 16 Jan 23

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....Read more

Ques. Should I join IIM Shillong or Krannert Purdue for an MBA? Please answer considering the USA market conditions.

● Top Answer By Aastha Mallik on 23 Jan 23

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....Read more

Ques. Should I take admission in IIM Shillong this year or prepare again next year?

● Top Answer By Arshit Jain on 27 Jan 23

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....Read more

Ques. What percentile would be required by a female BA Humanities fresher student in the CAT to get into IIM BLACKI or Shillong?

● Top Answer By Harsha Singh on 23 Jan 23

It is difficult to provide a definitive answer to the question about the minimum percentile required for admission to IIM Shillong without more information about a candidate's past academic records and other relevant details. Different IIMs may have varying selection criteria and place different levels of emphasis on factors such as past academics, work experience, CAT and PIWAT scores, and undergraduate diversity.  Additionally, the minimum qualifying CAT score required for the GD-PI round in 2022 is 75 percentile for students in the General and EWS categories, 50 percentile for students in the DA and ST categories, and 60 percentile for students in the SC category.

● Top Answer By Priyanshu Gupta on 16 Jan 23

Yes, considering your profile, you can convert IIM Indore and Shillong at 92 percentile. Your excellent academic record will compensate for your CAT score and increase your chances of getting selected. Since you are a fresher I will suggest you analyze your career aspirations before choosing a college. What made you choose IIM only. Is it just because you want to get placed and earn a high salary? I suggest you try broadening your career options by identifying your area of interest. Some career options with their suitable colleges are If you want to go for Mass Media, you can join Jamia or Prahlad School in Mumbai.
