I got 51 percentage in 10th and 65 percentage in 12th will I get admission in IIM kozhikode?
The admission criteria at all the IIMs changes every year. One year you may get admission with relatively low scores but the next year you might now get in even with a high score.
It all depends on the panel of judges and your luck. So my recommendation is that you should not depend too much on your 10 and 12 marks.
Go for the CAT and score 99 percentile. Chances are you will get admission even with low 10 and 12 marks. But without CAT you need better marks in 10 and 12 to make it into any IIMs.

IIM Kozhikode is offering Project management course, Should I opt it when I am already PMP certified?
If you are already PMP certified then pursuing Project Management course of IIM Kozhikode will not add much value to your experience. This is because
-
Firstly the course is for professionals who are interested in acquiring the PMP and CAPM certification. Since you are a PMP certified professional, it means that you are an experienced professional too. So this course will add no value.
-
