Will IIM Kozhikode allow LSM students to sit for consulting companies?
Yes, IIM Kozhikode will likely allow the LSM students to sit for consulting companies. It is the Placement Committee that offers the consulting companies the best students. So they will surely highlight the benefits of this course to potential recruiters. Students from any course are not restricted to sit for placements at all. Even the ups and downs of the placements are controlled by the General Management and not the institute itself.
This program is likely to produce all rounded talents so consulting common should definitely hire a few to create talent for the company.
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.

How good is the placement scenario at iim kozhikode for fpm programme?
The FPM or Fellow Program in Management at IIM Kozhikode does have its own placement program. This is because the batch size is very small.
But the FPM program in itself is such a meticulous one that all its students become scholars or researchers. The recent data confirms that most of its fellows have been placed in the top IIMs or other reputed Management Schools ranked high on NIRF.
The only thing you need to be careful about is not delaying your thesis work and having good publications. If not you might face problems at the time of placements.
The FPM degree has been renamed as the PhD and IIM Kozhikode provides excellent placements for the same.

Which is a better option, IIM Kozhikode or MDI Gurgaon?
Most people consider IIM Kozhikode a better option than MDI Gurgaon. But in reality, MDI has many lesser-known features that might help you take the right decision:
-
MDI Gurgaon has the best faculty in finance so it’s the best option for the finance stream.
-
The curriculum taught here is very much similar to the skills sought by the industry
-
A large number of students get into consulting companies. More than 10 companies visit MDI every year.
-
Low batch strength, which means proper attention to each student
-
The No Reservation policy makes the admissions here solely merit-based
Although IIM Kozhikode has some excellent features, MDI Gurgaon lacks the public eye so it’s necessary you know its reality before blindly trusting IIM Kozhikode.
