IIM Kozhikode is one of the best institutes in India. It nurtures young people and prepares them for future endeavors. IIM Kozhikode’s location is what makes it superior. The lush green surroundings add to the already calm ambiance of the campus. Apart from this IIM Kozhikode has many other salient features making it one of the best:

  1. The study material is extensive and mainly based on Harvard's Case studies.

  2. The institution offers research, an executive post-graduate program, an MBA program, and fellow programs.

  3. The faculty is experienced and wise. You can get a lot of help from them.

  4. The quality of food is also good here.

  5. The living conditions of IIM Kozhikode are no joke. With AC rooms and multiple hostel messes, the utmost importance has been given to the student fraternity.

  6.  There are snacks and tea stalls throughout the campus.

  7. IIM initiates many cultural activities, such as start-up culture promotion, fests and workshops, student exchange programs, and debates and discussions on management-related subjects.

Life at IIM Kozhikode is not just about studying and passing out, it's also about interacting and developing relationships with individuals of other cultures, viewpoints, and mindsets. This will become a driving force in their career.

Which one is better IIM Indore or IIM Kozhikode?

PS
Parth Sehgal Posted On : November 17th, 2022
Studied at Indian Institute of Management Kozhikode

Both IIMs are roughly comparable. And IIMK cannot be compared to IIMI solely on the basis of one or two major corporations. The benefits of being in K include being exposed to a different culture (Kerala as well as the campus culture in K, which includes things like open-door culture, etc.), which makes you a better person outside of the classroom. Academically, almost all subjects and streams have faculty similar to IIMI, a very good library, and a business museum that no other IIM has. IIMK and IIMI are both exposed to all business competitions, so there is no difference there either.

Although Indore is larger in terms of land area, the natural beauty of IIMK is breathtaking. The smaller batch size also helps K to get better quality placements for all, whereas IIMI lags behind due to their larger batch size for Indore Campus and combined placements for their Mumbai campus as well. IIMK is more than just a business management school; it has attempted to instill a sense of responsibility in its students through social projects and subjects such as Social Transformation and Globalization taught by renowned faculty. These may not be extra benefits for those who have passed both colleges, but they do provide IIMK alumni with a sense of pride.

What CAT percentile do I require to get calls from IIM Blackis, FMS, SP Jain, JBIMS and MDI Gurgaon?

AD
Anuraag Das Posted On : April 14th, 2023
Studied at MBA from NMIMS (2020)

For GEM, the CAT percentiles required to get an interview call from IIM Blackis, FMS, SP Jain, JBIMS, and MDI Gurgaon are 

  • ABC and FMS: Both institutes required nothing less than 99.5. Those who get admission at a lesser percentile, usually don’t belong to the GEM category. There are many who don’t even get a call with 99.3. So to stay on the safer side, go for nothing less than 99.5.
  • IIM Indore and Kozhikode: Both the institutes require percentiles around 97.5 for an interview call
  • SPJIMR: This Institute has unique selection criteria under which CAT is given less value and calls are issued on the basis of the candidate's profile. The CAT percentile required in this case is less than the normal if you have a good academic profile along with work experience,
  • MDI: This institute issues calls around the 96% mark.

It’s important to know that these figures are based on trends and not on actual data so you will find exceptions everywhere. Moreover, it’s better you don’t waste time analyzing the CAT cutoff and start preparing for the same.

Which is better: IIM K or NITIE?

PD
Pavitra Das Posted On : August 20th, 2021
PGDIM Industrial Management, National Institute of Industrial Engineering (2018)

Both IIM K and NITIE are renowned institutes and offer the same placement opportunities. 

  • If you take a look from an ROI point of view then NITIE has an upper hand. The fee structure at NITIE is 12.53 lakhs and is half or less than that from IIM K. 
  • NITIE is known for its Operations branch. The majority of SCM Head, VP Operations, Head logistics in industries are a part of the alumni of NITIE. 
  • If you are not interested in Operations then opt for IIM K. It has been ranked above NITIE and if the IIM tag is what that you desire the go for it. 

Your decision may be influenced by the distance of these institutions from your hometown, financial background, preference for a particular specialization, and many such factors. Since it is an important decision do not hastily jump to conclusions. Make a wise choice that would benefit you in the future.

Should I join IIM Calcutta or IIM Kozhikode? I am an average student who somehow managed to do well in the CAT and convert both of these but want a fair shot at being in the better half of the batch

JJ
Jitha Johni Posted On : November 11th, 2022
Studied at Indian Institute of Management Kozhikode (Graduated 2020)

Both IIM Calcutta and IIM Kozhikode are top-notch management institutes in India. The majority of people claim that IIMC is better than IIMK just because it has a strong alumni connection and extremely experienced faculty.

But don’t make your decision solely based on this. Keep your aim in mind before deciding.

Choose IIM Calcutta if-

  • You want your personality to be developed to the maximum extent

  • You have a knack for Maths and Analytical Skills Development 

Choose IIM Kozhikode if-

  • You want to be in the top 1% of the class

  • You prefer an institute with less dynamism 

  • If you are average at Maths and Analytical Skills Development 

The final decision is yours to make.
