The Diversity which is a must needed in every B-schools exists in IIM Shillong. The students are from various academic backgrounds like Ocean Engineering and Naval Architecture, Food Processing Technology, chartered accountant, as well as commerce graduate etc and, are also from different states. There is no gender imbalance in the campus. Another advantage of being in the northeast is that students are exposed to a totally different culture.
One of the advantages is a small batch size which helps to develop a lasting relationship with most of the students, peer learning comes into pictures and there is an academic benefit with attention focused on them. We eat together, we stay together, we play together and we celebrate together which gives way to a milieu which is vibrant and full of life. The values & practices also make the students socially aware which encourages them to give back to the society in whatever small ways they can.
Even though having small batch size and fewer participant students of IIM Shillong has won many corporate awards as compare to other b schools, be it in the field of Marketing or finance or be it in any other field. Some of the competitions we have won in the last couple of years include the ones organized by Loreal, Nomura, HSBC, Crisil, Deloitte, CFA Research, Yes Bank and many others.
In my opinion, IIM Shillong facilitates the overall growth of its students in both the academic and personal facets which helps its students to have a well-rounded personality which gives them the edge in the corporate world.
Aditya Birla Group
I want Aditya Birla Retail Limited to come to our campus for the placement. The company ventured into food and grocery retail sectors in 2007 with the acquisition of Trinethra Super Retail and subsequently expanded its presence across the country under the brand ‘more’ with two formats ― Supermarkets and Hypermarkets. This segment of ABG is in sync with my personal aspirations and it would help me in honing my marketing skills. This would be a win-win situation as it would help me in developing the required skills and I would help the group in reaching great heights.
