IIM Shillong Indian Institute of Management: 106 answered questions

Is it that valuable doing the MBA from IIT Delhi as compared to IIM Shillong?

Sushmita Gupta

06 Apr 23

I will do a brief comparison between the MBA programs of the 2 institutes based on common parameters and leave the final call for you to make

Brand value: IIT Delhi enjoys international recognition while IIM Shillong offers the much coveted IIM tag. However, being a new IIM, its tag does not hold much value in comparison to IIT Delhi's tag.
Fees: The MBA program offered at IIM Shillong costs a whooping ?14.6 Lakhs while that at IIT Delhi costs around INR 10.4 Lakhs saving you a few Lakhs.
Location: Due to its central location, IIT Delhi offers much more opportunities in terms of exposure and placements. Located near the IT hub Gurgaon, it attracts many startups that come with internship offers. IIM on the other hand is located in the North Eastern part of India and lacks the necessary industrial touch.
Infrastructure: IIT Delhi is one of the oldest IITs lacks in terms of infrastructure when compared to the newly built IIM Shillong which has a dreamy campus.
Top sectors: IIT Delhi is well known for its specialization in IT/Consulting, and Operation whereas IIM Shillong’s top sectors are Sales & Marketing, Finance, and Consulting.

Now weigh the pros and cons of both and make a wise decision based on the same.

Is IIM Shillong a tier 1 B-school?

Aakriti Ahuja

27 Jan 23

IIM Shillong was established in 2007 as the 7th Indian Institute of Management, located in the North-East region of India. The programs offered at this institute include postgraduate diplomas, executive diplomas, and doctoral programs. The admission process at IIM Shillong is similar to other IIMs, with applicants being evaluated based on their scores on exams such as the CAT, GMAT, GATE, and GRE. Candidates for doctoral programs are also shortlisted based on their performance in the Junior Research Fellowship (JRF).

Tier 1 MBA colleges in India are among the highest-ranked management institutes in the country, and many of their students secure positions at top companies. These colleges are highly competitive and have a strong brand value, which can be beneficial for students as they begin their careers. Although IIM Shillong is considered a tier 1 b-school, it does not rank among the top 10 in India. The top 10 tier 1 MBA colleges in India typically include IIM Ahmedabad, IIM Bangalore, IIM Calcutta, IIM Lucknow, FMS Delhi, XLRI, IIM Kozhikode, SP Jain, Jamnalal Bajaj, and IIM Indore. Some people may also consider the Indian School of Business (ISB) to be a top tier 1 MBA college due to its one-year program.

Sarthak Diwan

IIM Shillong placement cell is not very helpful. The placement records shown are edited. Students do not get a return of what they had paid for. The placement committee is responsible for conducting a well-organized placement drive. The committee tells all the recruiting companies that they have got the first slot. Students are also forced to carry out this lie.

According to the official website, the summer placement highlights for 2021 are as follows.

The highest CTC offered this year was around 3 lakhs. While the average CTC offered was around 1.31 lakhs. The average CTC has witnessed a 17% jump from last year.
