What are the chances of selection of my brother in IIM Kozhikode (MBA)with this profile (10-7.2 CGPA, 12-62%, B.Com 55 %, work experience of 2 years, CAT percentile 99.35, OBC NC)?

Astha Roy

23 Feb 22

Your brother has a fairly good chance of section as his CAT percentage is well-above the required cutoff. For 2021, IIM Kozhikode cutoff was 85 (for general category students). But the selection depends a lot on the interview performance too. So, ask your brother to prepare thoroughly for the interview round.

You can go through the section criteria and the admission procedure of the institute to clear any doubts you may have.

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

Anuraag Das

14 Apr 23

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.

Is it all right to choose IIM, I or K over XLRI just for the IIM brand?

Rimjhim Ghosh

26 Jul 22

If you have an admission offer from XLRI, don’t choose IIM I or IIM K. XLRI has a better brand presence than IIM I and IIM K. It is better in terms of academics, faculty, placements, and alumni connections.

It is one of the top B-Schools in the country and ranks right after IIM ABC. So, don’t choose IIM I or IIM K just for the IIM tag.

Which one among IIM Lucknow (ABM), IIM Kozhikode, and IIM Indore should I choose? Why?

Prapti Banerjee

05 May 22

Among these IIM Lucknow PGP ABM is the best option. IIM Lucknow tag offers certain advantages. You will get access to many case studies, a diverse student pool, a huge alumni network, and an ecosystem that fosters learning and excellence.

For the first year, ABM students share classes with PGP students. The curriculum faculty and learning will be the same. For the second year, you can choose some extra subjects according to your interest along with your specializations.

IIM Lucknow offers good placement opportunities to PGP ABM students. Along with FMCG companies, most companies in Consulting, Marketing, Finance, Operations, and HR are open to ABM students. In recent years, IIM Lucknow ABM placements had an average CTC of INR 24-25 LPA.

Which is better: IIM K or NITIE?

Pavitra Das

20 Aug 21

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

Jitha Johni

11 Nov 22

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.

Which IIM should I prefer between Indore and Kozhikode after being a commerce graduate without experience keeping marketing as my priority?

Garima Sethi

20 Sept 21

You should prefer IIM Indore if you are considering Sales or Marketing as your career. Here are some of the reasons:

The number of fresher at IIM Indore is higher and this leads to a higher number of companies visiting during placements offering Sales and Marketing roles.
The percentage of students from each batch selected for the Sales and Marketing role is higher.
The average CTC offered is nearly equal in both. IIM Indore wins over by a slight margin with 23.6 LPA while IIMK received 22.5 LPA
IIM Kozhikode is increasing its intake of female candidates and this will bring more recruiters on board because of the additional seats. On the other hand, IIM Indore already has a great number of recruiters.

At last, the final decision should be taken by you and have faith that it will be a good decision. Both the colleges have great campuses. Wherever you go, the hard work and dedication put on will play a major role in getting the dream offer.

Will the new liberal studies and management programme at IIM Kozhikode have good placement assurance?

Sanglap Dasgupta

21 Sept 21

If you are interested in liberal studies, TISS is the best brand. It is unbeatable in this field. It offers diversified courses such as Rural Development, MSW Social Work, Development Studies, etc. The faculties are great and the student exchange program is so much better.

IIM Kozhikode is a management college where 70% of the students are engineers. You will not benefit by pursuing liberal studies from here. It is suggested if you aim for TISS and prepare for the entrance exam which is the TISS-NET.

In short, for liberal studies and humanities, TISS> IIM K.
