The reason why IIM Kozhikode is given more preference by candidates is due to the size of the batch. The Mumbai campus was started by IIM Indore and the placement process of both institutes is carried out at the same time. Both are among the top ten business schools in India.

Students begin their preparation only a month before the test, following their board exams. The paper is divided into two sections: quantitative and verbal ability.

English is very simple, especially for people who regularly read newspapers and books. If you are not one of them, you should read passages and brush up on your vocabulary.
You can pass IPM if you have a firm grasp of those topics. Study hard for your boards because many Quant topics will be covered in your exams. Furthermore, get a good 12th grade to keep your options open.
Among these, IIM Indore is the better option. Being an IIM it offers better facilities and placements. IIM Indore placements 2022 placements ended with an average CTC of INR 25.01 LPA. The highest CTC offered this year was INR 70 LPA.

IIM Indore and IIM Kozhikode are very similar to each other in most aspects, including placements.
But the main issue is IIM Indore’s huge batch size. IIM Indore admits almost double the MBA students as compared to IIM Kozhikode. This leads to immense competition among its students, even though Indore has an advantage over Kozhikode in terms of its recruiter numbers and profiles.
Apart from placements, a huge student intake places a lot of burden on the infrastructure and faculty at IIM Indore. The faculty to students ratio is better at IIM Kozhikode. But IIM Indore enjoys great connectivity, which IIM Kozhikode does not.
Both of them are highly prestigious business schools in India, and you shouldn’t just consider placements while choosing between them. Moreover, the market conditions can hugely affect the placements of a college for a certain year. Its impact may differ from one college to another.

The cutoff depends on the difficulty level of the exam. The section-wise cut-offs are released by the institute. You need to clear the section-wise cutoffs too in order to be selected.
Well, these two institutes cannot be positioned to compare with each other.

The campus life at IIM Indore is awesome and the infrastructure is unparalleled. The institute has great competition and diversity. You will develop a good analytical and broader viewpoint. One of my friends opted for IIM Indore and he was happy with his decision.
This is entirely a matter of your choice or preference. Both these courses have a very different offering from each other in terms of learning. One is a double bachelor (BA LLB) and the other is a Bachelor's + Master’s degree (BBA-MBA). You can choose one or the other on the basis of your interest. If you are someone who wants to pursue a career in law and be a lawyer, you should pick the course from NLSIU, and if the Management and business side of things is where your interests lie, the clear choice is IIM Indore.
If placements are what concern you, IIM Indore is the winner as compared to NLSIU. IIM Indore’s Integrated Programme in Management has an average pay package of about 20 lakhs per annum which is way more than NLSIU’s median at 12 lakhs per annum for a BA LLB graduate. Along with this, IIM Indore also offers opportunities to be placed abroad, and those who get placed abroad can get a package up to 90 LPA, on the other hand, NLSIU doesn’t have much scope for placements abroad and the few that take place don’t garner more than a 20L PA package.
When you leave IIM Indore after three years, you will get a Bachelor of Arts degree in foundations in management.
IPM students definitely have the option of leaving the program after 3 years for any reason cited. Most quit to appear for CAT and to go to higher ranked B-schools in the country.
