Good college with the best facilities.

The percentage of students who got internships is 89%, even if I got a research intern on our campus with a stipend. Roles offered in our course are Research Analyst, assistant, etc. Recruiting companies are Wipro, IBM, Infosys and Amazon, etc.
Infrastructure: The teachers are extremely qualified, though some have a hard time communicating with students. The courses are updated and useful and semester exams are hard but grading is relatively easy, so manageable. The majority of the courses are passable, whereas some courses have very young and enthusiastic faculty members.great exposure to research to Ph.D. students.
Faculty: The overall facilities and infrastructure available for our department are good. Our institute infrastructure with library lecture halls and each department building is top-notch and better than most private colleges and older institutions. Hostels are also pretty luxurious, with Japanese architecture and radiant cooling. The mess food is actually pretty tolerable, with a special dinner served once a month having more varieties. The food is balanced and occasionally has fruits and sweets.

Campus life here is the best, but the competition is stressful.
Placements: Every course in our college has 100% placements. But, you may get a low package if you don't perform well. In the recent combined summers placement comprising of PGP, PGP-F, PGP-LSM, the average package was around 2 LPA. The highest package was more than 3 LPA. The lowest package was somewhat around 50,000. All top companies visited here, like consulting, marketing, ProdMan, IT, finance, and every role was offered. Being an old IIM, there are 100% placements.
Infrastructure: Everything is top-notch at IIM Kozhikode, but the mess food is not that good for vegetarians. Infrastructure, library, classrooms, and everything here deserves 10 out of 20. The only thing that you may dislike is the mess food. But, you can take extras for which you will have to pay.
Faculty: The faculty members are very good. They are always ready to help. The curriculum is good as well. Every course is created with the highest quality. You have to be engaging during the course due to the structure of the courses, but most of them pass. The exams at the end only contain 30-40% marks. The other marks are given for quizzes, assignments, group projects etc. If you remain active enough, you can easily pass the exam. Most of the faculty are well known. AF Mathews, Anupam Das, etc., are among the most famous professors across all B-Schools. The amount of research studies done at IIM Kozhikode is also helpful. All the courses are mostly case-based discussions, which bring perspectives from all students.
Other: Campus life is really good. It has one of the best campuses among the B-Schools. The view from the hostel is to die for. But, the first term is really hectic. The competition is very tough as well. After entering into the B-School, you have to up your game very high because it is very difficult here to compete with the best minds.
