IIM Kozhikode Admission 2027 has a different process for each programme. The four year BMS at the Kochi campus takes students after Class 12 through its own aptitude test and an interview. The two year MBA, MBA Finance and MBA LSM take students through CAT 2026, followed by a writing test and a personal interview. MBA Finance and MBA LSM also accept GMAT and GRE scores. Working people can join the One Year MBA or the Executive MBA. Ph.D admission has three tracks with one common form. CAT 2026 is on 29 Nov 2026. IIM Kozhikode has no management quota, so every seat goes by the merit list.
IIM Kozhikode MBA Admission 2027
The two year MBA is the main programme at IIM Kozhikode, called the PGP on the campus. Together with MBA Finance and MBA LSM, it had 600 approved seats in 2024-25. Admission is based on CAT 2026, then a Written Ability Test and a personal interview. The final score gives 35% to CAT, 35% to the interview, 20% to the writing test and 10% to your resume. The fee for the 2026-28 batch is INR 23.5 Lakhs.

IIM Kozhikode Admission FAQs
Short answers to what students ask before they apply.

IIM Kozhikode divides your percentage by the highest score in your stream on your board in the last three years. So a strict board does not hurt you. Enter your marks exactly as on the marksheet.

The Post Graduate Program in Management (Finance) at IIM Kozhikode requires candidates to qualify through exams like CAT, GRE, or GMAT. For the CAT, candidates should achieve a percentile above 98 for the general category, with differing thresholds for reserved categories such as ST. The CAT exam includes sections on Verbal Ability and Reading Comprehension, Data Interpretation and Logical Reasoning, and Quantitative Aptitude, each with a 40-minute time limit.

Eligibility mandates a bachelor’s degree with a minimum 50% aggregate, with lower thresholds applicable for certain professional qualifications like CA, CMA, or CS. Applications typically open in January after CAT results, and shortlisted candidates participate in WAT and PI rounds. Reservation is in line with government norms. The admission process is efficiently handled online, and timely emails guide applicants throughout, although waiting for results can be anxious for candidates. Following the final selection, candidates are given a designated timeframe to submit required documentation.
I got selected in IIM Kozhikode but I want to try for a better IIM next year. Will this affect my chances?
NebulaNoble
Honestly, getting selected in IIM Kozhikode is a great achievement, but if you feel like aiming for a better IIM next year, it might affect your chances a bit. The Executive Post Graduate Programme is quite rigorous, and with exams every three months, it can be really tough to juggle preparation for a new IIM while managing this course.
Just keep in mind that each IIM has its own selection criteria, and having IIM Kozhikode on your CV could be a plus, but they’ll also look at your CAT score and overall performance next year. So, focus on that and see how it goes!
Apart from CAT, what are the other parameters considered for IIM Kozhikode admission?
Epil Gagrai
The first shortlist at IIM Kozhikode is prepared based on CAT score and other parameters like Xth and XIIth scores, Gender/ Academic diversity and work experience are considered. The weightage of all these parameters for the first shortlist is as follows:

How should I prepare for the IIM Kozhikode Interview?
Epil Gagrai
If you have been shortlisted for the WAT-PI round at IIM Kozhikode, then you’ll have to fill up a form and provide details about your academic background, work experience, and extracurricular activities. This is the first step where you need to be very careful about what you are writing, because there are going to be alot of questions being raised from all this.
There will be around 2 panellists during the personal interview round and the type of questions they can ask are:
They can start with ‘Tell us about yourself’.
There can be questions related to your academics. There could be technical questions and some general questions like why you chose to do this course. Try to be prepared as much as possible about your field of graduation as they can ask anything from it.
If you have work experience, then they can ask about your job profile and what was your responsibilities in the company. There can be questions related to your organization like what type of organization it is, what they do, what they sell, who are their competitors, etc.
Then again they can ask why did you decide to leave the job and join the MBA program. Basically, you need to prepare why you want to pursue an MBA? Do not miss out on preparing for this question.
Then there will also be questions raised on your extracurricular activities. They can ask questions on every organization you volunteered for or any short course or certification you did. They may ask about your experience and what you take back from it.
So overall, you need to know every single detail about yourself. They can ask anything from it. So mention anything that you are not sure about or you have not prepared for it. It is fine if you are unable to answer one or two questions, but try to be confident. The panellists will try to create pressure but try to be calm and keep a smiling face.
Rishika BatraStudied MBA from Indian Institute of Management Kozhikode (2021)
During the shortlisting at IIM Kozhikode, a candidate is selected on the basis of his/her CAT score, 12th marks, graduation score, work experience and academic and/or gender diversity.
98 percentile is decent enough to get you an interview call if you have a very good academic record and 3 or more years of work experience. But to convert the call, you’ll have to perform well in the GD PI round. The final shortlisting gives a high weightage to GD PI and/or WAT and work experience of a candidate.
Make sure to score high in your CAT exam, and perform equally well in the GD PI/ WAT round. This will increase your selection chances at IIM Kozhikode.
How do I make sure to get admission at IIM Kozhikode provided I have a profile of X-91, XII-89, B.Tech (EEE)-65, and also a GEM fresher?
Rishabh SinghLives in banglore
IIM Kozhikode evaluates your academic accomplishments in this manner- 75% for CAT score, 20% for class 12th score, and 5% for academic diversity.
You have an average academic performance throughout, and do not belong to the academic diversity quota. In this case, a CAT percentile of 99.2+ will be required to get you a call from IIMK. After which, your admission will be based on your performance in GD PI. My brother had the same score in his 12th boards as you. He ended up receiving a call at 99.25 percentile.
Try getting a high CAT score to get a call from IIM Kozhikode.
What is the process of getting into IIM-Kozhikode? What are its pros and cons compared to other IIMs (especially in terms of placements)?
Mahak SenguptaPDGM from Indian Institute of Management Kozhikode (2016)
Process/ Steps to get into IIM Kozhikode:
Crack the CAT exam, a national management entrance exam.
Applying to IIM Kozhikode using the official or CAT website after the CAT results are announced.
CAT score, academic profile, and work experience (if any) shortlisting.
Passing the institute's WAT and PI.
Final selection based on the candidate's overall performance in the above stages.
Comparing IIM Kozhikode to other IIMs, below are some pros and cons:
Pros:
Research centers and projects emphasize innovation and research.
Inclusive, gender-diverse student body.
Strong industry-academia relationship with top firms across fields.
Modern campus and cutting-edge technologies.
Remarkable alumni across fields.
Cons:
Compared to other IIMs, its first class graduated in 2000.
Remote location in Kerala may not suit urban-oriented pupils
Some students report high workloads and stressful academic environments.
IIM Kozhikode's flagship PGP program offers great opportunities and placements. However, placements can vary depending on the economy and student performance.
Which B-school is harder to get into when you have a 'mediocre' academic profile and 1 yr of work experience, FMS Delhi or IIM K, L, and I?
Akriti Guptalives in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India
Among the above B-schools, FMS will be easier to enter because other IIMs like IIM K, IIM L, and IIM I give more weightage to past academic performance. FMS selection will be based on Personal Interviews, Group Discussions, and CAT scores.
IIM K gives 40% weightage while the initial shortlisting of candidates for Personal Interviews is contrary to IIM L and IIM Indore which gives only 20% weightage. IIM Indore gives no weightage to work experience where IIM K gives only 5% and IIM L gives 10% weightage.
All in all, if you are a mediocre student then you have to outperform others in terms of CAT score and PI/GD performance. Indore is home for freshers and competing here will be difficult but you should focus more on FMS then IIM L and then IIM K for your shortlisting and put your best foot forward and convert your calls.
What’s the minimum percentage required for admission in IIM Indore and Kozhikode?
Gauri KapoorCAT 100th percentiler, IIMA Alumnus, Co Founder at Cracku
Depending on the candidate's profile, an IIM callback minimum percentile may apply. In addition to CAT exam results, a number of other factors, including academic standing, work history, professional certifications, gender diversity, and others, are taken into consideration during the top IIMs' admissions process. Each IIM has a different approach to how much importance it places on prior academic performance. IIM Indore, for instance, places a lot of emphasis on performance in the 10th and 12th grades.
At IIM Kozhikode:
Three steps make up the IIMK admissions process:
Stage 1 requires Minimum qualifications.
Shortlist for Stage 2's Written Ability Test (WAT) and Personal Interview (PI)
The Third Stage is the Final Selection.
At IIM Indore:
People who consistently perform well in school are known to receive rewards from IIM Indore (especially in 10th and 12th). There are three stages to the IIM Indore admissions process:
Stage 1 is the Requirements for Eligibility
Shortlisting for the Written Ability Test (WAT) and Personal Interview at Stage 2 (PI)
Final Selection at Stage Three.
This is a general overview of the IIM Indore and Kozhikode admissions process.
What are my chances of getting into IIM Kozhikode, with 90 percentile in the CAT if I'm a female OBC fresher engineer hailing from Kozhikode?
Shivam PandeyPGP from Indian Institute of Management Amritsar (Graduated 2020)
To get into IIM Kozhikode, a percentage of atleast 95 is preferable. Being from Kozhikode won’t be of much help.
One major piece of advice to you if you are a fresher is to indulge yourself in extracurricular activities. Get extra certificates through internships or part-time jobs. Paid courses that offer certificates will also be helpful. All this will help you in the GD-Pi process and you're likely to convert your call.
