There are several general perceptions about IIM Shillong that may be worth addressing in order to provide a more accurate picture of the business school.
One perception is that IIM Shillong is located in a remote area and therefore lacks access to the same opportunities as more metropolitan business schools. However, this is not necessarily the case. In reality, many of the same companies that visit other top business schools like the Indian Institutes of Management in Bangalore and Kolkata also visit IIM Shillong. Additionally, companies come to the North East region to recruit both technical and managerial talent from IIM Shillong, as well as other top schools like IIT Guwahati and IIT Kharagpur.
Another perception is that IIM Shillong lacks proper infrastructure due to its temporary campus. However, the current campus, which has been in operation for the past 10 years, is equipped with the latest technologies and is on par with other top business schools in terms of infrastructure.
A third perception is that IIM Shillong has poor-quality students and faculty. However, this is not true. In reality, students who are accepted to IIM Shillong have typically scored very highly on the Common Admission Test (CAT), with a percentile score above 98%. Additionally, the business school has guest faculty from reputable colleges abroad who teach a number of elective courses that rotate across the major IIMs. Overall, these factors suggest that IIM Shillong is a high-quality business school that offers a strong education and a range of opportunities for its students.
The class 10 and 12th marks are not directly linked to the shortlisting of GD/PI and even for Final Selection in IIM Shillong.
IIM Shillong has not defined the weightage for academics for 2022 MBA admissions. An expected set of scores, for students from different categories, is as follows:
|
Category |
Class 10 marks |
Class 12 marks |
|
General |
80 |

EWS |

|
SC |
55 |

ST |

PWD |

Candidates who fulfill the above cutoff criteria will be considered for shortlisting into PI rounds and will be segregated as per their discipline in graduation.
RM and SM are different schools now and are no longer considered XIMB. XSRM and XSoS are now Xavier School of Rural Management and Xavier School of Sustainable Management respectively.
Both the courses are equally good and have their own importance. So, it’s all your decision, which field you want to pursue your career in.
If you do not have the option to join any government colleges and getting jobs is a concern, then LNCT is the place to be. With good grades, you may even get a job offer with a package of 3 to 4 LPA.
However, if you are hoping for a more comprehensive development of your personality, the answer is no. At the institute, you will have to write assignments, wear uniforms, maintain attendance, and participate in no extracurricular activities for four years.
There will also be insufficient learning in terms of both coding and soft skills. If you wish to pursue a career in the IT sector, you should seek out a suitable university, as RGPV teaches in an outdated manner, with only a few subjects taught that are relevant in today's technological advances.
The table shows a brief overview of the institution.

In comparison to other institutions in Bhopal, LNCT is the top college in Bhopal that is associated with RGPV, and you have a better chance of getting a job there. Overall, it depends on your preference.
The duration for Ph.D. in any department depends on the guide under which you are doing your research work. The average duration to produce good quality work with a competent supervisor is 4-5 years. If you get an A grade from all the examiners including foreign examiners, you don’t have to do the Thesis Viva. But a committee is formed by DRC to conduct a viva within IIT Roorkee.
Choosing the guide is a crucial matter for Ph.D. students as the same guide can help you get the degree very quickly while some guides can prolong the duration unnecessarily. Before finalizing your guide, conduct research on his credentials by talking to students he has dealt with in the past. It’s your guide who keeps who assists and motivates you throughout your research work. It’s better to stay away from professors who give C or C+ grades to M.Tech thesis students. This grade reflects nothing but the failure of the guide itself. You can find many such professors in ECE, though I don’t know if these can be found in the CS department or not.
First of all, your field of interest matters the most. If you are interested in Chemical, opt for MANIT Bhopal. But if you are inclined towards Mechanical, opt for SGSITS Indore.
MANIT will offer you the prestigious NIT tag. But as a student of SGSITS, I would like to highlight some advantages of joining Mechanical at my college-
Based on the limited information provided by me, I hope you get a rough idea on which path will be best for you.
Follow the class-notes and buy the previous year’s question papers from NB Xerox shop. Read the recommended books for the subjects and practice related questions from them. For Maths, it will be better to learn the proof of all the theorems.
Maintain a habit of studying at least 2-3 hours daily. That way you won’t be overburdened right before examination. The syllabus can be completed in less than 20 minutes if you study regularly.
Also, do not bunk classes. Try to attend every class and make your own notes in class itself. If you attend all the classes sincerely, the syllabus will be in your copy itself. Follow these tips and you will have no problem doing well in your classes. You will also have time to have fun and explore.
Unlike other IITs, IIT Kharagpur has no specific portal for outside students to apply for summer internships. Now the question arises, in the absence of a specific portal how do students apply for internships?
Well, the official website of IIT KGP has a faculty section containing information on the research work of faculty of various departments. There is a lot of information on their experience level, personal information, and ongoing projects. Based on your own interests, you can contact the professor whose work intrigues you the most.
The next step is to make a good resume including all your project activities and subject-specific knowledge. Include the SOP, mention why you chose IIT KGP, that specific area, and your future goals. Send this resume to the email address of the professor you wish to intern under.
Lastly, don’t lose hope if you don’t get replies immediately, and stay consistent.
It’s not true that TCS doesn’t hire students from Sunrise University. They may not come to the campus for placements if they already have their placement quota filled through other universities and colleges. Every company selects the campuses to visit based on their requirements and the students at Sunrise University may not present the needs of the organization.
But that does not mean if a student from Sunrise University approaches TCS for a job application, they will reject him/her solely because of his/her university. TCS hires candidates based on their talents and skills and if they fit the requirements of the organization. If a candidate is able to fulfill those requirements, he/she will be hired irrespective of the college or university.
In fact, TCS hires from many private colleges and universities such as Amity University. So there is absolutely no discrimination based on the college or university. Most companies will not care about your college or university. They care about how you can solve their problem and improve their revenues. If you can help them achieve that through your talents and skills, you would be welcomed in any organization, be it TCS or any other.
Here are some useful tips to help you survive four years at MANIT Bhopal, and make the most of your stay-
These are a few things I wanted to share with you. Follow these tips and your journey at MANIT will be very smooth.
