IIMS PGP Placement 2023-24

STUDENT COMMITTEES Cultural The Cultural Committee of IIM Shillong is responsible for the onset of traditions, reconnections, and dwelling in the country's rich heritage and the ambience around. All year-round, the committee is responsible for organizing various events. The year of fun filled events was set into motion with ‘Section Wars’ to start the journey of PGP20 with competitions filled with enthusiasm and energy. After that it was time for the cultural nights, albeit online, to relieve the monotony of routines. It began with the illumination through light with celebrations of ‘UTSAV 2020’ on Diwali, where participants were involved in a fun Bollywood night and saw beautiful in-house performances. Then came the time to gift each other while guessing the person in a surprise game of ‘Secret Santa’ during Christmas and then we bid goodbye to the memories of this year in an event called ‘AGHAAZ 2020-21’. This was a 2-day event that saw a mesmerizing performance by the band T.R.A.P. followed by a night of ‘Gupshup with Dikshit’ and a ‘Guess the Imposter’ event to find the hidden talent and welcome the New Year. The committee also conducts the annual inter- college fest ‘NIRVANA’ along with the Management fest ‘KHLURTHMA’ which sees participation from the various BSchools in different domains of music, dance, theatrics, etc. But this does not mark the end of nights full of joy as the committee also organizes various activities such as Dance Workshop, Dandiya Nights, Bonfires, Kite Flying, Lohri, Holi, Freshers and Farewell. Placement The Placement Committee actively works towards connecting the students with the corporate world, and acts as a liaison between the corporate world and IIM Shillong. In terms of final placements and summer internships, the committee strives hard to achieve a symbiosis between students' talent and the opportunities offered by the industry. It dedicatedly works towards getting the best roles and offers in terms of placements for all students across both batches. Arranging the necessary transportation, infrastructure, and communicating with the corporates regarding any assistance are some of the prerequisites for the placement processes that the committee takes care of, along with assisting the students in all matters related to different aspects of placements. In addition to this core responsibility, the committee works throughout the year in understanding the developing trends in the business world by strengthening the existing relationships with the corporates and laying the underlying foundation for the new ones by coordinating live projects, corporate competitions, corporate interactions and pre -placement talks and hence provides a platform to the students to interact with the pioneers of the corporate world.
