Other guests present on the occasion included Arjun Malhotra, the chairman of Head Strong Inc and T.K. Nair, principal secretary to the Prime Minister.

According to RG-IIM Shillong, while the post-graduate diploma course in business management will begin with an annual intake of 60 students in the first two years, this will be doubled in the third year and increased by another 60 in the sixth।

As was reported by MBAUniverse।com earlier, the process of admission of the inaugural batch at RG-IIM was supported by Indian Institute of Management Ahmedabad. The tution fee for First-Year of the Two-Year residential PG Programme is Rs 190,000 which is excluding boarding & lodging charges.

Apart from the management programme, the institute proposes to offer a fellowship programme in management, apart from management development programmes and courses in tourism and hospitality management।

Union HRD Minister Arjun Singh had laid the foundation stone of the permanent campus of the IIM, named after former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi, on December 1, 2007. The Meghalaya government has provided 120 acres of land free of cost in the new satellite township of Mawdiangdiang, 20km from Shillong, for the permanent campus
