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)?
Interview is an essential part of the selection process of IIM Kozhikode. Your brother has a good CAT score, but he must convince the panel with sincere and good replies.
My brother couldn’t clear the IIMK interview in his first attempt. But in his second try, he cleared it, even though his score had dropped down very slightly from his previous attempt. The reason was that he had given a good interview the second time.
Don’t try to outsmart the panel, and do not appear overconfident and ill prepared. Try to remain calm. The panel likes sincere students who are there to learn, and not the ones who are only interested in campus placements. The candidates who are well read and well informed about their surroundings, outshine the others.
Thus, my only advice to your brother is that he must give his interview with good preparation. By doing so, he’ll increase his chances of selection into IIM Kozhikode.
Do students prefer IIM-Kozhikode over IIM-Bangalore for post-MBA studies?

IIM Bangalore is better renowned for research and academic excellence, while IIM Kozhikode is noted for its industry-oriented curriculum and practical approach to management education. Students also consider geography, teacher expertise, course offerings, and college culture.
IIM Bangalore or IIM Kozhikode for post-MBA study depends on personal preferences, ambitions, and career aspirations. You need to thoroughly research both schools before choosing.

But to convert the call, you’ll have to perform well in the GD PI round. The final shortlisting gives a high weightage to GD PI and/or WAT and work experience of a candidate.
Make sure to score high in your CAT exam, and perform equally well in the GD PI/ WAT round. This will increase your selection chances at IIM Kozhikode.

Which B-school is harder to get into when you have a 'mediocre' academic profile and 1 yr of work experience, FMS Delhi or IIM K, L, and I?
Among the above B-schools, FMS will be easier to enter because other IIMs like IIM K, IIM L, and IIM I give more weightage to past academic performance. FMS selection will be based on Personal Interviews, Group Discussions, and CAT scores.
IIM K gives 40% weightage while the initial shortlisting of candidates for Personal Interviews is contrary to IIM L and IIM Indore which gives only 20% weightage. IIM Indore gives no weightage to work experience where IIM K gives only 5% and IIM L gives 10% weightage.
All in all, if you are a mediocre student then you have to outperform others in terms of CAT score and PI/GD performance. Indore is home for freshers and competing here will be difficult but you should focus more on FMS then IIM L and then IIM K for your shortlisting and put your best foot forward and convert your calls.
All the best and Best of luck for your D-day.
Can a person graduating from IIMs like LIK and even the new IIMs like Ranchi and Trichy ever catch up to the graduates from ABC and get a similar package?
- Students who have graduated from IIM LIK can catch up to IIM ABC relatively easily or may end up at the same level by the end of their postgraduate program. IIM Trichy will eventually catch up with IIM LIK, though it may take around 5 years. IIM Ranchi, on the other hand, will take longer to reach the same level.
- IIM LIK catching up with IIM ABC may take 3-8 years. With the presence of good FMCG/Consulting/Financial Services Companies, a jump or two could bring them to the same level. IIM Trichy and Ranchi will take a very long time to catch up with IIM ABC in this category.
- The top 10% of students from IIM LIK and IIM ABC evolved as toppers after at least 18 months of hard work. There will be a significant difference between anyone in this category, regardless of whether they are from IIM ABC or LIK. While there may be a difference in starting packages due to the reputation of the institute, it will be made up for in subsequent years. It is not clear how long it will take for students from IIM Trichy or Ranchi to reach this level.
