Here are some differences between IIM Ahmedabad and IIM Shillong-

  1. IIM Ahmedabad is the top business school in India, while IIM Shillong is amongst the top 30. 
  2. MBA aspirants highly desire IIMA, but they are skeptical about IIM Shillong because of the location factor. 
  3. IIMA has a strong alumni network. Its graduates are in top positions in almost all kinds of industries. IIM Shillong doesn’t have such a strong alumni network, it will require some time to build one. 

IIMA is already the leader, while IIM Shillong aspires to become one. Regardless, both of these are great institutes for management studies.

IIM Ahmedabad is the best management school in the country. In many ways, it has defined the benchmark of excellence in management education. IIM A has a legacy of over 60 years and is highly reputed all across the globe. It offers excellent networking opportunities and career outcome possibilities. The placement record of the institute is phenomenal. 

IIM Shillong is a new IIM and is still in the process of making an individual identity.

  • IIM A faculty members are regular participants in International conferences.
  • They contribute to International Journals, collaborate with agencies to advance and implement projects.

The location is also a factor, because many students have complained about the location of IIM Shillong being unfavourable because of its network disturbances and internet availability.

IIM Shillong though being a new establishment has the want to be better as the reputed and older IIMs.
