Does meeting IIM Kozhikode's minimum CAT cutoff guarantee an interview call?

No. Meeting the minimum cutoff only makes a candidate eligible. IIMK shortlists candidates using the Aggregate Index Score (AIS), which considers CAT, academics, work experience and diversity factors.

Is the Stage 1 shortlist the final interview call?

No. Stage 1 is a pre-interview registration stage. The actual interview shortlist is prepared in Stage 2.

What is the minimum graduation percentage required for IIM Kozhikode PGP?

Candidates with a graduation degree generally need at least 60% aggregate marks. Specific eligibility rules may vary by category and qualification.

Does IIM Kozhikode consider Class 10 and 12 marks during admission?

Yes. Class 10 and Class 12 performance contributes to the AIS used for shortlisting candidates.

What happens after the IIM Kozhikode interview shortlist?

Shortlisted candidates appear for the Personal Interview (PI) and Written Ability Test (WAT). The final merit list considers CAT, PI, WAT and resume-related components.

Does work experience improve the chances of admission to IIM Kozhikode?

Work experience is considered as part of the AIS for shortlisting, but it does not guarantee an interview call or admission.

Does IIM Kozhikode follow reservation rules for admission?

Yes. IIM Kozhikode follows the Government of India reservation policy applicable to Central Educational Institutions.

Q: How is the response to the IIM Kozhikode's PGP-LSM program? Is there any significant difference for the candidates selected with the general MBA program in terms of candidates pool?

The students' response to the IIM Kozhikode's PGP-LSM program was good. The demand of the course was also high. But as far as the response of the industry is concerned, I think it will take a few more years to assess this. The course is new and will offer opportunities different from that of a general MBA program. Both the courses are not likely to overlap in significance for a few more years.

About IIMK Management Development Programme

The Management Development Programme at IIM Kozhikode is a short course for working executives, taught on campus at Kozhikode. IIMK sets these batches on a one-year calendar, and the 2026 to 27 calendar lists 40 open batches. Each batch takes three to five days. There is no entrance exam. Your organisation nominates you, and seats go in the order nominations reach the MDP Office. A three day batch costs INR 76,700 with GST if you do not take a campus room. IIM Kozhikode is third in NIRF management 2025 and holds EQUIS and AMBA accreditation. The MDP has no campus placement, but the two year MBA batch here averaged INR 28.18 LPA in 2025.

IIMK Management Development Programme Fees 2026

The total fees with the campus room is INR 88,500 and the fees without the room is INR 76,700. The programme fee itself is INR 65,000 for a three day batch, and GST at 18% is added on top. You pay once, before the batch starts. IIM Kozhikode fixes the fee for each batch and prints it on the calendar. The room and meals are charged only if you take a campus seat.

IIMK Management Development Programme Cutoff

An open MDP batch has no entrance exam, so there is no cutoff score to clear. Seats are given first come, first served until the batch fills. The MDP Office confirms your seat by mail once the nomination reaches it. Send the nomination early, because three of the September batches were marked closed before the month began.

IIMK Management Development Programme Placements

The MDP has no campus placement, so there is no pay figure for it. The two year MBA batch at IIM Kozhikode averaged INR 28.18 LPA in 2025, with a median of INR 27.50 LPA. Its highest offer was INR 81 LPA and the whole batch was placed. You come to an MDP from your own job and go back to it.

IIMK Management Development Programme Scholarships

IIM Kozhikode publishes no scholarship for open MDP batches. The biggest cut in your own cost is employer sponsorship, which covers the whole INR 65,000 programme fee. A GST registered company that pays with its own tax number claims the INR 11,700 GST back. If you pay for yourself, nothing here comes off the fee.

IIMK Management Development Programme Course Structure

IIM Kozhikode teaches its MDP in four formats. The open MDP is on campus, the eMDP is live online, and the asynchronous eMDP is recorded. A sponsored MDP is built for one organisation. This page covers the open MDP only, so ask the MDP Office which format fits your team.

Format	What it is
Open MDP	On campus at Kozhikode, three to five days
eMDP	Live online sessions for people who cannot travel
Asynchronous eMDP	Recorded content you take at your own pace
Sponsored MDP	Built for one organisation, on its own dates

IIMK Management Development Programme Campus and Certificate

You get the Professional Certificate only with 75% attendance and a pass in the tests. With the attendance and no pass you get a Participation Certificate. Every open batch is held on the IIM Kozhikode campus in Kerala. A residential seat gives you a room and meals for the batch days.

Should you pick the Management Development Programme at IIM Kozhikode?

This course suits working managers who can leave the office for a few days and want an IIM classroom.

Pick it if:

Your employer wants a name a board knows: IIM Kozhikode is third in NIRF management 2025 and holds EQUIS and AMBA accreditation.

You can leave work for only a few days: every open batch takes three to five days, so you are back at your desk the same week.

You want the teachers of a two year MBA without the two years: the same faculty take these batches, and that MBA batch averaged INR 28.18 LPA in 2025.

You want the certificate, not just the sessions: the Professional Certificate needs 75% attendance and a pass in the tests.

Skip it if:

You are hoping for a placement: an MDP has no campus placement, and you go back to the job you came from.

You want a lower price for booking early or in a group: IIM Kozhikode prints no early bird or group price for open batches.

You cannot travel to Kerala: every batch on this calendar is taught on the Kozhikode campus, not online.

You are counting on a seat next week: three of the September batches were marked closed before the month began.

Counsellor's advice

If your employer will pay and you can give three days, book the batch as soon as the calendar is out. If you are paying yourself, write to the MDP Office before you send any money.

Will you get a seat in an IIMK MDP batch?

Pick how you plan to join. An open batch has no exam and no cutoff range, so the answer is about your nomination.

How you plan to join

My employer nominates meI pay for myselfI am not working yet

Your employer nominates you

Yes, you are in. There is no exam and no cutoff score. Send the nomination while seats are left, pay the fee before day one, and the seat is yours.

You pay for yourself

Almost there. The MDP page says working people are nominated by the organisation they work for. Write to the MDP Office first and ask whether that batch takes a self nomination.

You are studying, not working

Not yet. An open batch is built for working executives, managers and administrative officers. Finish the degree, take a job, and come back with work behind you.

EDITOR'S NOTE

Seats go in the order nominations reach the MDP Office, so a batch can close weeks before it starts. Three of the September batches were already marked closed.

In short

IIM Bangalore lists many more batches and pays its MBA batch more, but a three day batch there costs INR 32,000 more. If the price decides and Kerala works for you, take the IIM Kozhikode batch.

In short

IIM Calcutta charges INR 6,000 more for a three day batch and sits four places lower on NIRF. If your team is in the east, that campus saves travel; on price the two are close.

In short

IIM Indore is the cheapest here at INR 54,000 for three days, room included, but it sits five places lower on NIRF. If budget decides, take Indore; if the name matters most, take this one.

In short

IIM Lucknow prints no open batch fee, so you cannot compare price before you write to it. If you want the cost in front of you today, the IIM Kozhikode calendar shows it.

Fees and pay can change. Check each college site before you decide.

IIM Kozhikode: 7 Answered Questions

What is the value of an EPGCOM from IIM Kozhikode?

Harsh MehtaStudied at IIM Kozhikode

EPGCOM is one of the best certification courses offered by IIM Kozhikode.

If you’ve worked for a while in the operations domain, and wish to climb the ladder in your company, this is an ideal course for you. It is meant for professionals with some amount of work experience.

It demands a fundamental understanding of operations, and is not meant for freshers or professionals with zero experience in this domain. Moreover, the course does not offer any placement assistance. The faculty and teaching methodology for EPGCOM is top notch, which is obvious as IIM Kozhikode is a renowned management college.

Overall, the course is good, but only for professionals with experience in the operations domain.

How is the response to the IIM Kozhikode's PGP-LSM program? Is there any significant difference for the candidates selected with the general MBA program in terms of candidates pool?

Ananya KhannaStudied Marketing at Management Development Institute, Gurgaon (2018)

The students' response to the IIM Kozhikode's PGP-LSM program was good. The demand of the course was also high.

But as far as the response of the industry is concerned, I think it will take a few more years to assess this. The course is new and will offer opportunities different from that of a general MBA program. Both the courses are not likely to overlap in significance for a few more years.

How is the PGP finance program in IIM Kozhikode?

Deepak MehtaMBA from Indian Institute of Management Kozhikode (Graduated 2019)

The PGP finance program at IIM Kozhikode is indeed good. IIM Kozhikode is the 4th Ranked B-School in MHRD NIRF Ranking (2021) among the top 100 Management Institutes.

The PGP Finance is a two-year full-time masters level program designed to aid students in pursuing careers in the financial world, in domains such as corporate finance, investment banking, and wealth management.

Most of the courses are very easy, especially for commerce graduates from DU or other reputed colleges.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of a PGP through IIM Kozhikode?

Salman LiyakathPGDM In Finance and Strategy from Indian Institute of Management Kozhikode (Graduated 2018)

Some major advantages and disadvantages of a PGP through IIM Kozhikode are:

Advantages

IIM Tag: IIM Kozhikode is the 5th best IIM. So the IIM title is enough for you to find a launch or start your own business.
Faculty: IIM Kozhikode has the most experienced faculty.
Peers: You will find people from diverse backgrounds and will stay highly motivated
Campus: The infrastructure of IIM Kozhikode is more like a resort than that of a B School
Campus Life is less stressful and you can enjoy your college days.

Disadvantage: Despite being the food capital of the state, Kozhikode has little to offer. The vegetarian options are also scanty.

These advantages and disadvantages might seem different from anyone else’s perspective.

What do you think about IIM Kozhikode's MBA in liberal studies?

Hrishi GanuMBA from Indian Institute of Management Kozhikode

IIM Kozhikode’s MBA in liberal studies is a fresh change from the traditional MBA. It helps in the comprehensive development of students. Moreover, IIM Kozhikode has the best faculty when it comes to Humanities & Liberal Arts in Management.

Some amazing features of this course are:

It teaches the students soft skills like management, empathy, leadership, etc which go a long way over hard skills like complex excel models, and well-researched reports taught in traditional MBA.
The course is a good choice because of its content. You will have to select many of the Humanities & Liberal Arts electives to complete their degree requirements.
Companies considering HR, or Consulting roles will definitely prioritize you.

IIM Kozhikode’s MBA in liberal studies offers a fresh perspective and is not a bad choice.

I'm working in a joint venture of Indian government and earning 7 LPA. I'm selected for IIM Kozhikode PGP course (2021-2023) Should I join it?

Mahak SenguptaPDGM from Indian Institute of Management Kozhikode (2016)

Whether to join IIM Kozhikode or not is definitely your call because the scenario once you join IIM K would be different.

I would like to share with you an experience of my friend, who attended IIM K.

He dropped out of IIMK as he found it stressful. You should know that the course is rigorous and it prepares you for the stress that you are about to deal with.
Obviously, the chance of you earning a high salary is for sure. But again, it depends on how well the economy is doing.
Most of the time the employers have a preference order, i.e. IIT>NIT>fresher, for recruitment.
To ensure good placement opportunities try to be in the top 10% of the class in terms of GPA. Also, you can become a part of organizing events, leading clubs, etc.
Since you will have 12 months of experience, you will be treated as a fresher and won’t be allowed to sit in lateral placement. So, OPs companies will be out of the picture which is maybe your interest since you are coming from a similar background. So, if you want an OPs job role, stay in the industry for another year and then join IIM K.
In order to get a consulting or finance role, you will need to come in the top 10 of your batch. You will also need CFA certification.
Marketing and IT companies will prefer you since you are a fresher. So, if you are interested in Marketing or IT, you can definitely join the institute.
HR companies don’t usually visit IIM K.

So, I will advise you to consider all these factors and make a more convenient choice for yourself.

I have 4 years of work experience in e-commerce. Is the IIM Kozhikode EPGP beneficial for me? As opposed to other IIMs its a 2-year course.

Unmesh GangulyMBA in Marketing & Information Systems ,Indian Institute of Management Calcutta (2020)

The profile you have will suit the two-year (hybrid model) EPGP program. If you do not wish to leave your job then this course can be good for you. Otherwise, you can go for full-time programs of one year at IIM ABC, SP Jain, or ISB. These are currently some of the top one-year programs.

E-commerce has gained a lot of popularity over the years and the scope is tremendous. Having work experience before joining an IIM will always get you plus points.

You will have good placement opportunities in IIM Kozhikode. The recruiters who visit the institute also offer very attractive packages. The average package is also high which makes the ROI manageable. If you take EMI it can be paid easily in five years. Internship opportunities are also provided to the students.
