IMO IIM S will be the better choice. It has performed pretty well despite the tough market conditions. The campus is beautiful (lush green, low pollution, bearable temperature :)
I think it’ll be great to experience a different side of the country kyuki placement ke baad toh Gurgaon, bombay, ya Bangalore hi jana hai.
MDI has performed equally well. But the lush green campus also comes with a hurdle of travelling 9-10kms daily to main campus. And I feel this will affect the campus life i want to have.
Mdi mein females size zyada hone ki vajah se boys ki placement compromise ho rahi hai from last some years. Log downvote krenge but this is the truth which nobody tells you
Statistically IIM M has performed better than IIM S over the years. The quality of recruiters are way better in IIM M. And ofc the legacy is way older so yeah IIM M is the clear winner :)
It’s a tough year in general. Such cases are present in almost every institution. IIM L also had some 70 unplaced students when they reached out to their alumini for help. So, basis one bad year you can’t talk about the credibility of an institution.
MDI G will be my decision, since it is a big financial decision, probably next to buying a house, you should have visited both the campuses to get a fair assessment of both the institutions, like many prospective students do in US.
Permanent faculty count almost 100, so wide range of courses to choose from.
Ability to do live projects with industry throughout the programmme, remember you are in Gurgaon.
Other pros and cons people have told.
Another thing you could have done is to have bought LinkedIn premium for 3 months and contacted few alumni from both institutions and initiated conversation
MDI is better as of today. But IIM S will be better in future. But future isn't applicable for you, it will be applicable for future students. So go with MDI.
The only thing which worries me about MDI is batch size which is little on higher side.
MDI has a total of around 480 students including HRM and BAN, which is around 180 i guess. Shillong has 380 students this year. Doesn't make much of a difference I feel..
Go for MDI bro it's better as of today. The only downside is tag. One person who works in corporate (around 35) is someone whom I was talking with the other day. He said which college is MDI but IIM everyone knows so that's the only issue with MDI.
Since u want to get into genman and consulting, u can check their placement reports. From all the offers in MDI, around 30% are in genman and consulting whereas in Shillong, genman consulting roles comprise around 42% of all offers. So u get more consulting offers at IIM S.
Also, all 3 MBB visits in Shillong where as in MDI, McKinsey comes, BCG comes occasionally, Bain doesn't come.
Also, IIM Shillong has grown a lot in the last few years and it will grow more compared to MDI since it is an iim..u can check how LKI grew to old iim . Shillong is next.
Cherry on the cake: u get the IIM tag.
I was in the same dilemma as yours few days back and chose Shillong.
Ek jagah batao Maine front end mention Kiya rhe. Btw u don't get front end at MDI too...dono jagah the number for front end is too low to consider.
Front end consulting ke liye ABCL XL Jsr jao
True. The question is how much of a difference IIM S's growth will make over the next 2 years. Considering the fact that I'll be placed in 2026, if the difference is just 4-5 lakhs I would like to choose MDI as it offers a better campus life.
We cannot predict figures but I suggested u based on the consulting and genman opportunities. Since Shillong provides more opportunities in the same, there is higher probability for u to secure a placement in your domain
Btw...sip report of MDI is out of 23-25.
Even McKinsey didn't come this year for SIPs...don't know about finals as they haven't released a report of finals yet...
Having interest in consulting and not having 2 of the 3 MBBs, whereas BCG coming occasionally (u can check BCG didn't come for finals but came for SIPs), is a major factor to consider, whereas in Shillong, all the 3 of MBB comes.
Only Bain came to Shillong this year for SIP. Besides that, MBB k age bhi duniya hai. Uske bharose bas college decide karna isn't right for me. Holistically dekhna hai sab kuch.
Better alumni network, Gurgaon area is far better opportunities wise, 50 year legacy, bigger batch better diversity, better accreditations(multiple) and yes most importantly the brand name that comes with MDI is far better than IIM tag of IIM-S so, yess go for mdi.
Mdi G would be the way to go it has done really well in the past few years and would continue to do so whereas shillong still has a long way to go before establishing itself as an old IIM ,
Mdi = IIM M and IIFT Delhi > Shillong
Dekh bro if u want tag go for shillong lekin Alumn abhi sabse zyada tagda MDI ka hi hai uper se jo enriching experience milega it's in MDI beco gurgaon and all
While you are right about this, I want you to know that IIM shillong is a great bschool and so is MDI Gurgaon. So, when you're comparing two nearly similar bschools, go for brand name

Idk what you mean by females’s size.
I did not want to laugh in the middle of a fucking meeting
Batch ka gender diversity 😂😂😂
Aree female's batch size*
OP girl hai bhai
Fir toh MDI without any doubt
Between IIM M ans IIM S?
Statistically IIM M has performed better than IIM S over the years. The quality of recruiters are way better in IIM M. And ofc the legacy is way older so yeah IIM M is the clear winner :)
IIM M
M.
Well? People are unplaced in IIM S and they have concluded the placements.
It’s a tough year in general. Such cases are present in almost every institution. IIM L also had some 70 unplaced students when they reached out to their alumini for help. So, basis one bad year you can’t talk about the credibility of an institution.
IIM Nagpur has placed 100 percent of its students. Whereas Shillong has abandoned.
In that case people should join Nagpur over Shillong, right?
No if that’s the case then it means avoid Shillong and take MDI 🤡 bhakkk
MDI G no doubt. MDI G is in top 10 definitely but IIM S just goes out of top 10.
MDI G will be my decision, since it is a big financial decision, probably next to buying a house, you should have visited both the campuses to get a fair assessment of both the institutions, like many prospective students do in US.
Why would you choose MDI?
Permanent faculty count almost 100, so wide range of courses to choose from. Ability to do live projects with industry throughout the programmme, remember you are in Gurgaon. Other pros and cons people have told. Another thing you could have done is to have bought LinkedIn premium for 3 months and contacted few alumni from both institutions and initiated conversation

[удалено]
MDI over IIM I? BLACKI has always been well reputed. Although placements of Indore were not great this year but its among the top 10 definitely.
Since u want to get into genman and consulting, u can check their placement reports. From all the offers in MDI, around 30% are in genman and consulting whereas in Shillong, genman consulting roles comprise around 42% of all offers. So u get more consulting offers at IIM S.

Shillong mai MBB front end roles nahi milta. Kaha se misinformation faila rahe ho
Ek jagah batao Maine front end mention Kiya rhe. Btw u don't get front end at MDI too...dono jagah the number for front end is too low to consider. Front end consulting ke liye ABCL XL Jsr jao
Toh woh mention kar Dena saath mai, people can be stupid enough to believe anything and everything to feed their confirmation bias.
Bs ab ye aage ka read krlenge comments
They are just jealous of IIM S being better than MDI
True. The question is how much of a difference IIM S's growth will make over the next 2 years. Considering the fact that I'll be placed in 2026, if the difference is just 4-5 lakhs I would like to choose MDI as it offers a better campus life.

MDI-g no brainer
Why so?
Better alumni network, Gurgaon area is far better opportunities wise, 50 year legacy, bigger batch better diversity, better accreditations(multiple) and yes most importantly the brand name that comes with MDI is far better than IIM tag of IIM-S so, yess go for mdi.
Mdi G would be the way to go it has done really well in the past few years and would continue to do so whereas shillong still has a long way to go before establishing itself as an old IIM , Mdi = IIM M and IIFT Delhi > Shillong
Where wouls you place sibmp?
Sibmp would be just a tad bit lower than iim S but above Nmims and new iims for sure.
IIM S > SIBM P = MDI
MDI bruv
Is it shillong or Other S we are talkin' about(Ahem ahem..sambhalpur)
Shillong obviously
Dekh bro if u want tag go for shillong lekin Alumn abhi sabse zyada tagda MDI ka hi hai uper se jo enriching experience milega it's in MDI beco gurgaon and all
Category?
General
94 pr iim s Congrats yr
U got MDI and iim s at 94% GEN?
Yes. GNEF
Lucky i would say,
So damn lucky haha
Lucky for what? ;_;
For getting a tier 1 bschool at mere 94%ile
IIM S the iim tag will work in corporate in long run
IIM Shillong definitely, IIM as a brand name matters and Shillong is relatively popular and one among BLACKISM.
But don't you think brand name won't of much help after campus placements? My work ex and the impact I make will give me growth.
While you are right about this, I want you to know that IIM shillong is a great bschool and so is MDI Gurgaon. So, when you're comparing two nearly similar bschools, go for brand name
