How do I differentiate between IIM Indore and IIM Kozhikode
Both universities were founded around the same time (1996) and are in the same league in terms of placements, exposure, and alumni base, among other things.
Nonetheless, IIM Kozhikode has an advantage over IIM Indore for one reason only - Size of the batch
- If we add the IPM batch, IIM Indore has a batch size of 650 students, whereas Kozhikode has a batch size of around 400 students.
- A larger batch size allows you to interact with people from various backgrounds, but this might be a difficulty during placement season and other co-curricular activities.
During the placement season, student competition would be fierce. Assume a company has opted to hire only one student, and the competition at IIM Indore is 50% higher due to the larger batch size. So, in comparison to Indore, you have a better probability of getting into your dream firm in Kozhikode.
It is not just restricted to Placement season, but also to club and committee events. If you wish to join the placement committee or the Finance club, it will be more difficult to do so in Indore than in Kozhikode. Co-curricular activities are very beneficial during your final placement interview.
IIM Kozhikode has an advantage over IIM Indore because of just one essential element. Both IIM-B PGDM and ISB MBA are good programs. Your choice relies on your career goals and preferences. ISB offers a shorter, industry-focused program. IIM-B is highly academic and research-focused.
What are the chances of selection of my brother in IIM Kozhikode (MBA)with this profile (10-7.2 CGPA, 12-62%, B.Com 55 %, work experience of 2 years, CAT percentile 99.35, OBC NC)?
Interview is an essential part of the selection process of IIM Kozhikode. Your brother has a good CAT score, but he must convince the panel with sincere and good replies.
My brother couldn’t clear the IIMK interview in his first attempt. But in his second try, he cleared it, even though his score had dropped down very slightly from his previous attempt. The reason was that he had given a good interview the second time.
Don’t try to outsmart the panel, and do not appear overconfident and ill prepared. Try to remain calm. The panel likes sincere students who are there to learn, and not the ones who are only interested in campus placements. The candidates who are well read and well informed about their surroundings, outshine the others.
Thus, my only advice to your brother is that he must give his interview with good preparation. By doing so, he’ll increase his chances of selection into IIM Kozhikode.
Do students prefer IIM-Kozhikode over IIM-Bangalore for post-MBA studies?
Both of the institutes, IIM Bangalore and IIM Kozhikode are reputed business schools in India, and both have their unique strengths and advantages. People want to get into both colleges. Therefore, it is difficult to say that students universally prefer one over the other for post-MBA studies.
IIM Bangalore is better renowned for research and academic excellence, while IIM Kozhikode is noted for its industry-oriented curriculum and practical approach to management education. Students also consider geography, teacher expertise, course offerings, and college culture.
IIM Bangalore or IIM Kozhikode for post-MBA study depends on personal preferences, ambitions, and career aspirations. You need to thoroughly research both schools before choosing.
Which is the best among IIM Lucknow, Kozhikode, FMS and MDI (mainly in terms of placement and learning)? Commerce background with good academic background and 3 years experience.
Having read some reviews online about IIM Lucknow, IIM Kozhikode, FMS, and MDI, here are some things I got to know which might be useful to you.
- IIM Lucknow and IIM Kozhikode both are older brands. They have a proper recruiter base, alumni network, campus life, infrastructure, and better placements.
- FMS also offers low-cost and decent placement facilities, but students of FMS claim to have no campus life and any eventful experience.
- MDI is considered to be decent. Thankfully they have a better and more happening campus life, unlike FMS. Bain Capability Network recruits at MDI while Bain & Co. go to the other mentioned colleges.
So the order of preference would be IIM Lucknow > IIM Kozhikode > FMS > MDI. This is as per the major rankings including Times B-School categorization. So select the one that matches most of your interests.

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?
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.
All the best and Best of luck for your D-day.
Can a person graduating from IIMs like LIK and even the new IIMs like Ranchi and Trichy ever catch up to the graduates from ABC and get a similar package?
- Students who have graduated from IIM LIK can catch up to IIM ABC relatively easily or may end up at the same level by the end of their postgraduate program. IIM Trichy will eventually catch up with IIM LIK, though it may take around 5 years. IIM Ranchi, on the other hand, will take longer to reach the same level.
- IIM LIK catching up with IIM ABC may take 3-8 years. With the presence of good FMCG/Consulting/Financial Services Companies, a jump or two could bring them to the same level. IIM Trichy and Ranchi will take a very long time to catch up with IIM ABC in this category.
- The top 10% of students from IIM LIK and IIM ABC evolved as toppers after at least 18 months of hard work. There will be a significant difference between anyone in this category, regardless of whether they are from IIM ABC or LIK. While there may be a difference in starting packages due to the reputation of the institute, it will be made up for in subsequent years. It is not clear how long it will take for students from IIM Trichy or Ranchi to reach this level.
Should an IIT Delhi graduate in B.Tech mechanical join IIM Kozhikode with 2 years of analyst experience and with a salary of 14 lacs?
If you are looking for institutes on the basis of what ROI they are offering then do not go for IIM Kozhikode. It is a good institute of course but for someone who graduated from IIT Delhi, IIM Kozhikode may not meet their expectations.
However, if you are unfazed by the course fee that involves getting admission to IIM Kozhikode then you would be making a very good choice.
Also, you need to ask yourself why you want to do an MBA. If it is because you want to switch your career from technical to managerial roles then choosing IIM Kozhikode will be a good option.
