Yatin yes there are some firms like Goldman Sachs, Fidelity etc. which offers a role of Investment Banking. Your question whether they come regularly or not; generally these companies visit atleast all old IIMs including IIM Shillong but what role they are offering varies every year depending on the economy and requirement of the company.

According to last year placement records in IIM Shillong average salary offered was Rs. 14.27 lakhs per annum, median salary offered was Rs. 14 lakhs per annum and maximum salary offered was Rs. 26 lakhs per annum.

Some of the Companies / Recruiters who visited the campus are:

Amazon, Berger Paints, Cognizant, Dell, Deloitte, fidelity, Future Group, Glaxo SmithKline, Google, Goldman Sach, HSBC, IBM, ICICI, ICICI Prudential, Infosys, JP Morgan Chase, Kohler, Mahindra and Mahindra, Mind Tree, Nomura, Pfizer, RBL Bank, State Bank of India, Tata Motors, Tata Steel, Thomson Reuters, TitanIndustries, Voonik, Wipro, YesBank, ZS Associates

This is not an exhaustive list. Other than these companies there were lot more companies which visited the campus for final placement.

If you have got an opportunity to get admission in IIM Shillong and it is the best choice you have plus you don't have any motive to re-appear for CAT exam next year then I will recommend you to not to miss this opportunity only because of opportunities of a role (investment banking) availability.I would like to tell you that I completed my MBA from IIM Kozhikode in batch 2016-18 and believe me the opportunity to opt for investment banking was way less in IIM K. Other than IIM A, B and C the case is quite similar in all other IIMs.

thank you for your valuable suggestion Akshay. But the main question is if the aim of doing MBA for someone is solely to enter particular industry (i.e. investment banking in my case) then it should also be a criteria to decide whether to join a b-school or not even if its an IIM.

Yatin if you really wanted to do investment Banking then you are misdirected that you need to do MBA. I don't know what was your branch in graduation but if you really wanted to do investment Banking then you should do Chartered Accountant because after that only you get a chance to work in real investment Banking profile.

I have completed my MBA from IIM Kozhikode in 2016-18 batch and in my batch there were 3 Chartered Accountant who left their investment Banking job because they want to go work in other domain and hence joined IIM.

And one more thing after doing MAN if you even get investment Banking profile then you will get more of a consultant related job.

So take your call properly.
