Location:

Setting up IIMs and Central Universities in smaller cities and less developed Indian States has been a policy of the Indian Government for some time.

It was after a long drawn tussle with neighbouring state Assam that Meghalaya was granted the first IIM in North East India. The government of Meghalaya has allocated around 120 acres (0.49 km2) of land for the construction of a permanent campus in Shillong. A temporary campus has been set up at the Mayurbhanj complex of the North Eastern Hill University for the new IIM. A permanent campus will come in the new Shillong township later.

With the unplundered lap of nature coupled with world class management education and latest technology at their disposal, students are sure going to make a beeline for the first IIM of the 21st Century.

Admission process

The CAT (Common Admission Test) conducted by the IIMs is a very competitive test conducted for admission to around 1250 graduate programs in management at the seven campuses, and is usually considered one of the most competitive exams in the world[citation needed], with a supposed success rate of about one in two hundred. Each institute conducts group discussions and personal interviews to evaluate the students shortlisted after the test.

Some claim that since around 300,000 students compete for less than 1350 general seats (out of 1700 total seats) in the IIMs (2008 figures), IIMs are even more selective than all the top US business schools put together[citation needed]. The remaining 23% of seats are reserved for candidates belonging to Scheduled Castes and Tribes and PWD. The average percentile of students admitted through these reserved categories is lesser than the percentile scores of the General class students, which generally hovers around 99 percentile.

The above claims of competitiveness are highly disputable. IIM proponents claim that the overall IIM acceptance rates range between 0.1% to 0.4% depending on the rank of the individual IIM, compared to acceptance rates of 5-15% for the top US schools, e.g. 12% for Harvard Business School and 8% for Stanford Graduate School of Business in 2008. This comparison is inaccurate because CAT is akin to a GMAT whereas the the percentage calculated above assumes that CAT is akin to application to the business schools (IIMs). If it is assumed that all 200,000 GMAT test-takers are applicants to Harvard Business School or MIT Sloan, the acceptance rates for these schools will drop to 0.4% and 0.2% respectively. Secondly, CAT scores are accepted by more than 120 business schools in India which underscores the point that all test-takers are not applying to IIMs. Finally, it can be argued that a considerably small number of CAT test takers are serious candidates; the rest appear for this exam as a rite of passage. Such casual candidates are eliminated in GMAT due to high test fees.
