Ques. With 84% in 10th, 79% in 12th, a 7.89 CGPA and 3 yrs of work experience, am I eligible for the IIM Shillong and IIM Udaipur? I am a GEM.
● Top Answer By Zakia Parween on 13 Jul 21
Ans.You are eligible for both IIMs. Your academics, on the other hand, are mediocre, which can work against you.
IIM Udaipur will contact you solely on the basis of your CAT score. IIM Shillong, on the other hand, may or may not. IIM-S has stringent admission requirements.
My only piece of advice is to ignore everything else and concentrate on getting a high CAT percentile, preferably above 99.5, and you'll almost certainly get into one of the IIMs.
With a balanced sectional and good percentile in CAT, you should get calls from both these institutes. Also, prepare well for the interview. The interview part of admission is the most difficult, so try to be confident as much as you can.
If you are confident that you will get a great percentile in CAT, you can also apply for FMS.Read more
Ques. Between IIM Shillong, SJMSOM, and IIM Trichy, which college is best? I am looking for a good learning experience and placements.
● Top Answer By Laxmi Rout on 29 Jun 21
Ans.Having gone through reviews of different colleges, I came across these. And here is what I have to share about them. IIM Shillong (IIMS) and Shailesh J. The Mehta School of Management (SJMSOM) is better than IIM Trichy.
It is tough to decide between IIM S and SJMSOM as both institutes were established long back.
IIMS has however shown growth in a short period of time making it better than SJMSOM.
Also, the IIM tag works better with non-IIMS colleges which are not in the top 15 lists.
The placement of both the institutes is good. But if you want to experience an educational environment then you must choose IIMS.
In the following table, you will get information about IIM Shillong, SJMSOM, and IIM Trichy.

Ques. Is it good to do Executive MBA from IIM Shillong being a mechanical engineer having 5 years of experience in manufacturing industry?
● Top Answer By Komal Chawla on 24 Jun 21
Ans.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.
