We all come here to learn new things and do so in a way that they project our career in an entirely new trajectory. To do that, we get great facilitators here. Yes, they are not professors but our facilitators. IIM Shillong is a place where everyone contributes to the learning of everyone else. Peer learning is of utmost importance. Add to that extremely approachable and highly qualified faculty and you find yourself in a perfect learning environment.
We have an extremely diverse batch profile too. We got all sorts of dancers, engineers, singers, artists, chartered accountants and what not! We have people from backgrounds such as animation, food technology, urban planning and fashion technology to name a few. Wouldn’t you be ecstatic to be a part of such a diverse group?
Now, allow me to speak a bit about myself. Just like any other student, I was overly joyed to join this remarkable institute. Adding to all the points mentioned above that make this institute great, the placements serve as icing on top of the cake. One of the dream places to get placed in, is the Aditya Birla Group. Among this multi-billion dollar conglomerate, I personally want to be a part of Aditya Birla Retail Limited. The FMCG industry is something that has always fascinated me. The way millions of products are created and sold to the masses speaks for the kind of business practices this sector demands. It would be a great opportunity to be a part of such a business, especially at brand management or advertising level. Since I come from a designing background in the field of animation, I am well acquainted with the nuances of designing and how companies portray themselves to their prospective as well as existing customers. So working at the reputable Aditya Birla Group would be an opportunity I would cherish.
All said, I hope more and more people get to know about this beautiful place called IIM Shillong and become a part of the privileged few who get the opportunity to experience the beauty of studying and living in the mountains.
