In the second year, the prospectus reverts to the more traditional bid and study elective course format with a flexibility to chose the are of majoring, and although the teaching method remains the same the attitude is a lot more relaxed. When it comes to job opportunities, your status as an IIM Shillong student gives you a lot of credibility and many companies make the trek to the hills of Shillong to interview. Placements are a season of rigor and one has to give in everything to land a job amidst the competition.
Possessing an IIM tag can make one live in a bubble of irrational exuberance! When 180 optimists spend all their time together getting told that they’re the future leaders of the world, it’s easy to get carried away with grandiose dreams. This is where the rigour of the system helps one make amends with reality.
If I had to summarise my experience at IIM Shillong, it would entail:-
- A chance to spend two years interacting with some very smart people
- The prestigious tag of belonging to an IIM, the institutes of national importance
- The 2 years of Shillong weather. The greenery is a sight for sore eyes of a Metropolitan Dweller
