IIM Kozhikode - Indian Institute of Management

Hi Rakshanda,
Questions will most probably be asked about your gap period such, as why you no went for job, how did you utilize your time then, and more. These are asked to understand your thought process and clarity, and till the time you know it well, you are good to go. All the best.

The initial shortlisting of candidates will be done on the basis of CAT percentile and in your category it is above 90. So you are meeting the eligibility criteria here. The weightage of CAT percentile is the deciding factor here over other like 10th, 12th, Graduation and work experience etc. The contribution of CAT percentile is 75%, while others are responsible for 25%. Further personal interview and GD are the other activities of selection. So, in my opinion, you a call for admission.

Hi Shyam, Yes, you can get a call from such colleges. Though it is difficult to predict the chances of getting calls from them since not only marks and percentages, but the overall background and CAT score matters here. However, you can use the following link to get an approximate idea. https://www.shiksha.com/mba/resources/iim-call-predictor
Hope it helps. All the best.

If you score well in CAT, there are high chances of getting a call.

Hello,
I have seen 85 percentile getting call from IIMs and 95 didn't. So, your profile also matters a lot. Even after getting call you have to face GD What and PI as well. So, please don't expect IIM to call you below 92 percentile. Good luck.

Yes, you have a good chance to get shortlisted, if you score above 98 in CAT. It will however also depend on your academic and gender diversity and what is your exact CAT score and graduation. Usually, a late 98s and in your case, since you have 74% in graduation, an early or mid-99 would secure you a call from IIMK. Having said this, each year the selection criteria changes and you have to be updated by checking the official IIMK website (www.iimk.ac.in).

Executive Program doesn't come under the ambit of the Placement Committee and their placement process is different compared to the normal PGP programme. This is common across all IIMs. As regarding marketing, if you have a prior marketing or sales experience before joining EPGP, that would help you a lot in getting a placement at a senior profile after the EPGP programme.

Hi, yes IIMK EPGP is one of the major courses provided to Executive students. All the faculty members that teach in IIMK are also part of EPGP. The quality of education that you get there is the same. However, it is ran out of Kochi Campus which is the satellite campus of IIMK, for better connectivity since Kochi is a big city.
