Alumni The Alumni Committee of IIM Shilling acts as the link between the institute and its global alumni -base, to foster an engaging, enriching, and mutually beneficial relationship among all stakeholders of the institute. The Committee has been formed as an initiative to bring together the alumni and its alma mater. To keep students abreast with current developments in the industry, Alumni Committee has provided industry interactions by organizing knowledge-building lecture sessions with assistance from its alumni. The Committee conducts an annual Alumni Meet – Mélange, which sees alumni's participation from all the graduating batches, the Director, and the members of the Alumni Committee. The purpose of the meet is to increase interaction with alumni, and derive maximum synergy, networking, camaraderie out of it. The Committee also handles the online web portal for the alumni of the institute. It conducts a mentor- mentee program through this web portal for guiding students throughout their summer internship process. In coordination with the Public Relations Cell, the Alumni Committee organizes 'Nexus' to initiate connections between the incoming batch and the institute. The event sees participation from the alumni, current batches, and the incoming batch. The Committee has an extensive online presence on all major networking sites, through which it constantly keeps the alumni updated. Apart from this, it also comes out with a yearbook for the outgoing batch that contains briefings of all the events conducted, eminent personality visits, and other celebrations on campus during that academic year as well as the details of the outgoing batch. Recently, the Alumni Committee has also initiated the formation of Alumni Chapters in major cities to formalize the Alumni Association. Student Council Office bearers of this non-hierarchical team act as an interface between the student community and the administration, dealing with activities that touch every aspect of student life on campus and play a pivotal role connecting the Institute and external parties. The Council also actively assists the Institute's Administration in conducting the StudyAbroad Program. Since the commencement of this programme, MoUs have been signed with globally recognized universities in Europe, Singapore & China. The experiences gained from interactions in foreign universities will mould the students to become successful managers with a global outlook. The Student Council organises the annual festival of the institute that comprises the flagship event- IIM Shillong Golf Cup; Khlurthma- the Annual B-School Fest, and Business Leadership Summit (BLS). This year, the Council also organised the first -ever Cultural Festival of IIM Shillong – Nirvana – along with the Cultural Committee. The flagship events provide an excellent platform for corporates and B Schools to battle it out on the greens and provide a hands-on experience to the students, who learn nuances of management by organising an event of such grandeur. For the twelfth year in a row, the Student Council has been instrumental in transforming the event into a Magnum Opus eagerly awaited by Corporates and Students alike. The Annual B -School Fest, Khlurthma which means “War of Stars” has captured the imagination of students, creating a place for itself in the annual calendar of B-School activities across institutes. 'Nurturing Minds', the teaching initiative in the memory of Late Dr A.P.J Abdul Kalam is the brainchild of the Student Council and the Administration.The initiative captures the essence of Dr Kalam's teachings, "Education for All, for Development" by leveraging the availability of resources with the institute to contribute to the local community. It aims to touch the lives of the young and underprivileged students in Shillong by facilitating better learning and inculcating self-confidence in them. Currently, the response to 'Nurturing Minds' has been overwhelming from both the local schools in enrolling their students for the programme and the students of our institute in volunteering as teachers for the same. The Council also actively assists the Institute's Administration in conducting the StudyAbroad Program. Since the commencement of this programme, MoUs have been signed with globally recognised universities in Europe, Singapore & China. The experiences gained from interactions in foreign universities will mould the students to become successful managers with a global outlook.  26 Indian Institute of Management Shillong
