Wisdom Speaks
“ My core reason to do the PGP WE program from IIM Shillong was to change my thought process and to change the way I understand businesses. This program has provided a strong foundation to strengthen my concepts & skills. I see this programme as a long-term investment for my career.”
The unique and distinct learning proposition at IIM Shillong through group discourse delivering both theoretical concept clarity and application-oriented approach has aided me in better understanding management ideas. We were able to learn through highly interactive and interesting lectures from in-house teachers and external lecturers with both industrial and academic expertise.
There is a great mix of professors and speakers, all are distinguished in their fields of expertise and bring a high level of knowledge to the program. The curriculum is well balanced with team projects and case studies, which quickly help you fine tune and grow specific skills that can be re-applied to your current career. After almost fifteen years of roles with increasing technical responsibility and several years of experience, I felt the time was right to take my education to the next level, and the IIM Shillong’s MBA program was exactly what I was looking for.
I am elated to be able to share my learning experience at IIM Shillong. They are leaving no stones unturned to make us the best management professionals in the country. I’ve been a fan of the diverse subjects offered by management at the PGP WE programme ever since we started at IIM Shillong. We’ve already begun to adjust to the online learning environment. As the saying goes, “Where there is a will, there is a way,” and IIM Shillong is unstoppable in providing the best education through an online platform. I’m glad I made it here, and I’m thrilled to be a part of this PGP WE programme, which has already proven to be a success.
