IIM Kozhikode PGPM Eligibility
You need a three-year degree with 60% marks, and 60% in Class 10 and Class 12 if you are General, OBC-NCL or EWS. SC, ST and PwD students need 55%. For PGP, a General student also needs an 85 CAT percentile and 75 in each section. PGP-Finance checks only the section scores, so a weak overall score does not stop you there.
| Requirement | What you need |
|---|---|
| Graduation | 60% in all, or 50% in CA, CMA or CS |
| Class 10 and Class 12 | 60% each; 55% for SC, ST and PwD |
| PGP exam | CAT: 85 overall and 75 in each section for General |
| PGP-Finance exam | CAT, GMAT or GRE: 85 in QA, 80 in DILR, 70 in VARC for General |
IIM Kozhikode PGPM Admission Process
There are five steps: write CAT, register with IIMK, get shortlisted, sit the WAT and PI, and accept the offer. You get the registration email only if you clear the floors. The shortlist is a ranking, so a registration is not an interview call. Offers go out in merit order, and you pay INR 1 Lakh to accept one.
| Step | What you do |
|---|---|
| Write CAT | Pick IIM Kozhikode and your courses on the CAT form. |
| Register with IIMK | Fill the online form sent to you by email. |
| Get shortlisted | IIMK ranks every registered student in each category. |
| Write the WAT and face the PI | A short essay, then an interview, in one half day. |
| Accept the offer | Pay the acceptance fee by the date on your offer letter. |

IIM Kozhikode PGPM Cutoff
The General floor for PGP is an 85 CAT percentile with 75 in each section, and OBC-NCL and EWS students need 75 and 65. These are minimum scores, not closing scores. IIMK does not publish the score of the last student it took. Clearing a floor gets you registered, and the shortlist then ranks you.
| Category | PGP overall | PGP section | PGP-Finance QA, DILR, VARC |
|---|---|---|---|
| General | 85 | 75 | 85, 80, 70 |
| OBC-NCL and EWS | 75 | 65 | 75, 70, 65 |

Which PGPM specialisation should you pick at IIM Kozhikode?
Course
Post Graduate Program in Management (Finance) (PGP-Finance)
Finance course. INR 22.62 Lakhs for two years without hostel. CAT, GMAT or GRE.
Pick it if:
Your QA and DILR are strong but your VARC is weak: PGP-Finance asks for 85 in QA, 80 in DILR and only 70 in VARC, with no overall floor.
You hold a CFA, FRM or PRM level: the Finance suitability score gives up to 6 marks for it, and that score carries 20% of the shortlist.
You want investment banking, equity research or credit roles: finance roles took 19.2% of offers in 2025, from firms like JPMC, Citi and Goldman Sachs.
Skip it if:
You plan to pay only the fee sheet total: Finance students also pay for their own international immersion trip, and the fee sheet does not price it.
You want the course that reads your full CAT score: PGP-Finance gives QA and DILR 20% each in the shortlist and ignores your overall percentile.
Post Graduate Programme in Management [PGPM]
Flagship course. INR 22.62 Lakhs for two years without hostel. CAT only.
Pick it if:
You have a high overall CAT score: PGP gives your CAT score 50% of the shortlist and 35% of the final score.
You studied something other than engineering: a degree outside engineering adds an academic diversity score of 5 to your shortlist score.
You want consulting or general management roles: consulting took 32% of offers in 2025, from firms like Bain, BCG and Kearney.
Skip it if:
Your overall CAT percentile is below 85 and you are General: IIMK does not register you for PGP, though PGP-Finance may still take your section scores.
You want to apply with a GMAT or GRE score: PGP takes CAT alone; only PGP-Finance accepts GMAT or GRE.
Counsellor's advice
If your QA and DILR clear 85 and 80 but your overall CAT percentile misses 85, put your hopes on PGP-Finance. If you clear both floors, pick the course whose jobs you want, since the fee is the same.
PGPM Eligibility▾
Graduation: A three-year degree with 60% in all, or CA, CMA or CS with 50%.
Class 10 and Class 12: 60% in each for General, OBC-NCL and EWS; 55% for SC, ST and PwD.
PGP exam rule: CAT with 85 overall and 75 in each section for General; OBC-NCL and EWS need 75 and 65.
PGP-Finance exam rule: CAT, GMAT or GRE, with 85 in QA, 80 in DILR and 70 in VARC for General.
Same rule, both courses: Every CAT section needs a score above zero, and the marks rules above apply to both.
PGPM Admission Process▾
Write CAT 2026: The exam is on 29 Nov 2026. Pick IIM Kozhikode and the courses you want on the CAT form.
Register with IIMK: If you clear the floors, IIMK emails you a link. This is not an interview call.
Get shortlisted: PGP ranks you on CAT 50%, Class 12 20%, Class 10 15%, diversity 10% and work 5%.
Write the WAT and face the PI: Held in Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Kolkata, Kozhikode, Mumbai and New Delhi, in one half day.
Accept the offer: Offers go out in merit order around the first week of May. Pay INR 1 Lakh to accept.

Placement insights
Consulting took 32% of offers at an average of INR 33.13 LPA, and finance took 19.2%, led by firms like Bain, BCG, Goldman Sachs and Citi.
Of the 169 recruiters in 2025, 57 came to IIMK for the first time, and 13 offers were for jobs outside India.
The median sits only INR 0.68 LPA below the average, so a few big offers do not pull the average far above most of the batch.
The median went from INR 27 LPA in 2024 to INR 27.5 LPA in 2025, and the top offer from INR 72.02 LPA to INR 81 LPA.
Good to know
Final placements start in January of the second year, and firms get their slots through a fair slotting process.
A student who takes an offer, including a lateral offer, leaves the process and does not sit for more firms.
The figures cover PGP, PGP-Finance and PGP-LSM together; the report does not split them by course.

A General student needs 85 overall and 75 in each section. OBC-NCL and EWS need 75 and 65, SC 65 and 55, and ST or PwD 55 and 45. Clearing the floor only lets you register, because the shortlist is a ranking.
How is the final offer decided?▾
For PGP, CAT carries 35%, the interview 35%, the written test 20% and your resume 10%. PGP-Finance gives the interview 35% and weighs QA, DILR, work and finance orientation for the rest.
