IIM Shillong, also known as the Rajiv Gandhi Indian Institute of Management, has successfully completed the implementation of a student system and alumni development solution for higher education. The institute has implemented various modules from Oracle’s PeopleSoft Campus Solutions and Oracle Applications with the help of Citagus India Private Ltd. IIM Shillong is the first among India’s Centrally Funded Technical Institutions and Universities to complete implementation of a comprehensive ERP solution.

IIM Shillong’s IT implementation has automated all its backend processes. This has improved time management, data accounting and the efficient management of human resources and staff/ student feedback. The net result has been to free up more time and resources, and provide better information for management and faculty to enhance their core mission of delivering education programmes to the Institute’s post graduate students.

“In today’s fast changing and highly competitive environment, we are determined to provide quality education to our students,” said Prof Ashoke Dutta, Director IIM Shillong. “IIM Shillong has taken a big step to implement a comprehensive IT solution with the help of Oracle and Citagus. We have sought to reduce manual processes as much as possible, and provide access to real-time information for students and the college management and faculty. This will enable us to focus completely on education programmes for our students and excel in quality and accessibility. It will put us at the forefront of the technology adoption initiative envisaged by the Govt. of India for higher educational institutions in the country.”
