IIM Shillong Working Executive MBA. Is it worth doing it for ~14 lakh rupees?
IIM Shillong Working Executive MBA is approx 14 lakh rupees tuition fees for 2 weeks campus+ rest online education. They give a proper MBA degree and it is not a certificate or diploma. They do not offer placements for the Working Executive MBA as they are only allowing working people to do this MBA. I am trying to understand if it is worth doing an MBA from IIM Shillong.

There is an IIM in shillong ?
Yes. See - https://www.iimshillong.ac.in/ .
I would look at median salary these guys earn. The alumni network is only good if they are placed where you want to be
- Compare your current package with the average and median package offers of the B-school
- Can you get the same/better package within your current profile in next 3 years?
- Can the B school placements get you into your dream profile and company?
If the answer to 2 is no and 3 is yes then go for the MBA else not.
Great point. For me the answer to 2 is No and 3 is maybe (that's the hope). For 1 - for the working executive degree this information isn't available.
Use the 14L to start and run a business. If you fail, you learn a priceless lesson. If you succeed, you learn a priceless lesson.
Thanks. I have been in corporate life so long that I don't feel like business is an option for me anymore. Do you have in mind what businesses one can start and run with 14 lakhs?
As of 19-Mar-2025, a good 50% think MBA is a waste of time and energy.
Of the remaining 50%:
- 24% think it is expensive
- 26% are positive for IIM Shillong MBA
Overall, it is a equally divided result. For cost conscious, it looks like a no go for the reason it is expensive but a good option for those who can afford it easily.
Thanks all for your voting and participation 🙏
