The international module of the program ensures that each participant gets insights into the economic, social and cultural aspects of emerging countries. Each participant gets first-hand exposure to the country during the visit and understands the contemporary situation and society's evolution. The workshop series and innovation camp are the hallmarks of this program that provides an opportunity to think outside the box and translate your innovations, creativities and insights into something relevant.

Important Note : IIM Shillong is working with all the other IIMs to engage with MHRD. The final structure of the programme (Degree / Diploma) would depend upon the outcome of the said interaction. Currently, IIM Shillong is giving Executive MBA degree on successfull completion of the program.
