The placement-related activities at IIM Kozhikode are held in 2 phases. In the first phase, the companies interested in joining the placement drive reach out to the placement committee, schedule a date and present their PPT to the interested and eligible candidates. Then the resumes of the interested candidates are sent to the company and they revert with the list of shortlisted candidates.

Then in the second phase, the companies visit the campus for the placement process. The slots for the selection process of various participating companies are scheduled by the placement company. This process usually takes 8 - 10 days. Students who are left to be placed during this week are subjected to the companies in a rolling process.

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.
