IIM Kozhikode PGPM Fees 2026-27

The PGPM is IIM Kozhikode’s flagship two-year residential MBA, admitted through CAT. The total fee of INR 24.17 Lakhs covers programme delivery, learning materials, and on-campus hostel accommodation for both years. Mess and canteen charges are billed separately based on actual consumption and are not fixed at the time of admission.

All three PGPM variants at IIM Kozhikode, the core PGPM, PGPM Finance, and PGPM Liberal Studies, carry an identical fee structure. Students choosing any of the three tracks pay the same total of INR 24.17 Lakhs, with no premium attached to the Finance or Liberal Studies pathways. The INR 67,000 difference between Year 1 and Year 2 other-fee components reflects first-year registration and programme kit charges that do not recur. CAT 2026 registration opens August 3, 2026 and closes September 15, 2026, with the exam on November 29, 2026.

PGPM Year-wise Fee Breakdown

IIM Kozhikode EPGP Fees 2026-27

At INR 16.87 Lakhs, the EPGP is the most economical degree-level option at IIM Kozhikode for candidates with substantial professional experience. The programme runs for one year on the Kozhikode campus and targets mid-career professionals who cannot commit to a two-year residential MBA. Admission is through GMAT or CAT scores combined with the candidate’s professional profile, achievements, and recommendations.

Compared to the two-year PGPM at INR 24.17 Lakhs, the EPGP costs INR 7.3 Lakhs less and compresses the time investment by one full year. The trade-off is eligibility: EPGP is not positioned for candidates in the early years of their career.

IIM Kozhikode PGPBL Fees 2026-27

PGPBL runs for one year and is designed as a full-time on-campus MBA. At INR 25.17 Lakhs, it costs just INR 1 Lakh more than the two-year PGPM, an unusual pricing proximity for programmes of such different durations. Hostel accommodation is included in the fee. INR 7.5 Lakhs is due at registration, with the balance payable in three instalments across the year. An application fee of INR 3,000 is charged at the time of applying to IIM Kozhikode directly.

Years 2, 3, and 4 are INR 7.02 Lakhs each, as the other-fee component falls to just INR 2,000 from the second year onward.
