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.

IIM Indore (IIMI) and IIM Kozhikode (IIMK) are among the top 10 business schools in India. According to statistics, these institutes are very similar on most parameters. Both the institutes were established in 1996, both the institutes have a similar CAT cut off and similar program fees. If the rankings are taken into consideration, sometimes IIMI ranks better than IIMK, or vice versa. According to the NIRF Rankings, IIM Kozhikode and IIM Indore are ranked at 6th and 7th positions respectively.

The main differentiator between both these colleges is the batch size and the domain specializations. IIM Indore has the largest batch size across all IIM’s in the country, a batch of 578 students, on the other hand, IIM Kozhikode has a batch size of 413 students. Due to the IPM programs in IIT Indore, there is more number of freshers in IIT Indore.

For placement, IIM Kozhikode has a slight edge over IIM Indore. The placement highlights of 2019 of these institutes are given below in the table.

Placement Tends	IIM Indore	IIM Kozhikode
Highest CTC	50 LPA	58 LPA
Average CTC	22.92 LPA	23.08 LPA
Total number of Recruiters	160+	131+
Placement rate	100%	100%

Both the institute are equally good IIMs with decent academics and placement.

But if we see companies recruiting in both the campuses, IIMI is famous for the Finance and Consulting Domain, while IIMK has an edge in the marketing, strategy and operations domain. On the whole IIM Kozhikode is slightly better compared to IIM Indore, and if you’re one who appreciates scenic beauty IIMK is the go to campus.
