The Indian Institute of Management Shillong (IIM Shillong) has been awarded accreditation by AACSB International (Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business), a recognition widely regarded as the global gold standard in management education. AACSB formally included IIM Shillong in its official global announcement released in 2026, placing the institute among the small group of business schools worldwide that meet the body’s demanding standards.
AACSB accreditation is held by fewer than 6 per cent of business schools globally, underscoring the selectivity of the recognition. With this achievement, IIM Shillong also joins roughly 30 AACSB-accredited institutions in India and becomes one of the select Indian Institutes of Management to secure the global credential.
The accreditation process involved a rigorous peer review that evaluated the institute’s strategic management, faculty quality, research output, curriculum design, student learning outcomes, industry engagement and systems for continuous improvement. Officials said the decision reflects sustained progress on teaching quality, research and measurable learner success.
Director (in-charge) Prof. Naliniprava Tripathy welcomed the announcement, calling the accreditation a collective achievement of the entire IIM Shillong community and emphasising the institute’s responsibility to meet AACSB requirements over the next six years while further strengthening its global reputation.
Institute officials said the accreditation is expected to expand opportunities for international collaborations, academic partnerships, student and faculty exchange programmes, executive education, global research initiatives and deeper engagement with industry and policymakers.
Established in 2007 and located in Meghalaya, IIM Shillong has built a profile around values-driven and sustainability-oriented management education. The institute said it will continue to focus on developing globally responsible leaders equipped to address contemporary business, social and sustainability challenges.
Officials described the AACSB recognition as validation of IIM Shillong’s commitment to academic excellence, innovation, sustainability-driven management education and increased global engagement.
