IIM Kozhikode and IIM Lucknow are both highly reputed institutions in the field of management education in India offering top-quality education. However, they seem to have some differences in terms of their focus areas and curriculum.cIM Kozhikode focuses more on research and academics with an upper hand in the areas of finance and economics. IIM Lucknow on the other hand is known for its focus on management education and its strong reputation in the areas of marketing and human resources. My friend was a student of IIM Kozhikode but stayed at IIM Lucknow for a while so he had a picture of both the institutes.

  • IIM Kozhikode fairs better in terms of climate and weather conditions than IIM Lucknow
  • IIM Lucknow has a better quantity and quality of recruiters during the placement season
  • South Indians are more friendly than people in Lucknow
  • IIM Kozhikode has better opportunities in terms of student Exchange programs.
  • IIM Kozhikode offers a better campus view and has a serene ambiance in comparison to IIM Lucknow which is mostly arid dryland.
  • The food offered at both the institutes may highly vary in taste but the quality is equally good.

Both institutes have a strong alumni network and good placement records. Ultimately, the choice between the two will depend on the individual's interests and career goals.
