Sports Committee
About the Sports Committee:
The Sports Committee at IIM Shillong is responsible for organizing and managing both inter-college
and intra-college sports events. We encourage students to take part in competitive sports as well as
recreational activities. Our goal is to help students learn new sports, improve their skills, and enjoy the
spirit of sportsmanship.
One of our biggest events is the IIM Shillong Golf Cup. This is an annual event that brings in top
business leaders (C-suite executives), defence officers, bureaucrats, and ministers from across the
country. IIM Shillong is the only B-school in India to host such a unique and high-profile golf
tournament.
The Golf Cup is a great opportunity to build strong relationships with companies and industry leaders,
as golf is known for being a powerful networking platform.
