One of the most important factor about IIM Shillong is its batch size. With a batch size of 180 it has one of the best student-teacher ratio among premier B-schools in the country. Diversity is also an important factor in judging the quality of a B-School. IIM Shillong gives high importance to both gender and academic diversity. The gender ratio in the current batch is near 40%. There are many students from streams other that engineering in the institute. This diversity brings in different viewpoints to a problem and helps students understand diverse perspectives.
One of the most important features of IIM Shillong is that it is student driven. There are committees that handle various aspects of college life like hostel, placement, sports etc. There are 11 clubs which are basically interest groups like consulting club, marketing club, finance club etc. Recently a chapter of toastmasters international has also been started in the institute which helps students in improving their leadership and communication skills. These are some of the aspects that make IIM Shillong unique among other B-schools in India.
Aditya Birla Group
Although Aditya Birla group has established many companies that have high reputation worldwide, being an electronics and communication engineer and a management graduate who is interested in marketing and sales, I would prefer to work for Idea cellular limited. Apart from having a good knowledge of technical aspects of the sector, the Telecommunications sector is one of the fastest growing in India and is also rapidly changing. By working in this sector I can leverage my knowledge in both telecommunications and marketing to understand the customer requirements and design services accordingly, thus making a difference to the company and helping it thrive in an extremely competitive landscape.
