What should I choose between SPJIMR marketing (PGDM) and IIM Kozhikode (PGP), having converted both?
There are a few factors to consider before making a final decision.
- Brand: Those who are truly immersed in the MBA world understand that the IIM tag looks best with suffixes A, B, or C. Also, private institutions are far superior to many of the lower-ranked IIMs. Given the formidable brand, SPJIMR has built around itself, it is no less than an IIM, if not an IIMK.
- Curriculum: There will be no significant differences in curriculum because all of the great institutes have world-class faculty and a systematically designed curriculum. With its Global Fast Track (3 Week Program at Top US Universities) and Non-Classroom Initiatives, SPJIMR can provide an added advantage.
- Placements: SPJIMR has a consistently high placement rate across all four specializations, with a high average package and number of different roles available. IIM Kozhikode, on the other hand, has fallen short of expectations in terms of placement performance, particularly in the last 2-3 years, with the average package not rising above a certain point.
- Batch Dimensions: When it comes to placements, it is a major concern. SPJIMR has a perfect batch size of 241, whereas IIMK has a larger batch size, making placements more difficult.
- Fees: Both institutes have similar fee structures. However, with a higher average package, SPJIMR performs well in terms of ROI.
After all, it is your decision which institute to attend.

Don't choose a college or department solely based on reputation or what others recommend. Choose what you like and what you are interested in.
