Course Curriculum Overview
My interest was in finance and the role that I want to get into is Investment banking that's why I chose to go with the PGP-Finance course in IIM Kozhikode. I would say that since it is a specialised course, it is more inclined toward Finance domain and the subjects that you are going to study will have that touch. To be very honest all my faculty members are quite professional and they know exactly want they are doing. student ratio is not very impressive in my course but overall it's very good with 60:40.
Internships Opportunities

Fees and Financial Aid

Campus Life
life at the campus is hard at least for the first few months, but what helps you to go through this phase are your friends and of course, cultural event called roobaro which is held in the month of July will help you to get to know your batch mates.
Hostel Facilities
At IIM Kozhikode, the types of hostel accommodation that you are going to get are single, double or triple shared rooms. In triple and double sharing accommodation, you will get an attached washroom and AC facility but in single shared you won't get these facilities, In the second year only double sharing rooms are available. food quality in the mess is good with different varieties covering the northern region as well.
Admission
The admission process was seamless didnt face any major difficulty at any point be it at an interview or result announcement online. I am enrolled in PGP-finance program so I can talk about its eligibility criteria. IIM Kozhikode accepts multiple entrance exams like CAT, GRE and GMAT for the finance program. I got admission through CAT which I had given in 2022. Eligibility criteria have been given in detail on IIM Kozhikode official website. To get shortlisted for the IIM K admission process, you need to select that in CAT form during preference selection. for ST students cut-off in CAT is lower than general category students which are wary alot every year, Sectional cut-off is 60/55/55 in CAT, I dont think that there is any need for improvement in the admission process so it's fine.
Interview Experience
The selection process was comprised of a written ability test (WAT) and an Interview, topics of WAT are not fixed and it could be anything from business news to any abstract idea so you have to prepare well for the WAT round. In Interview will revolve around your background and they could also ask some HR questions like why you want to do MBA.
