Sonal Gupta's Review On IIMK - Indian Institute Of Management, Kozhikode

CAT, 93%. I wanted to go to a top tier IIM for my MBA and hence took CAT thrice to get admission into IIM K. IIM K offered great exposure to industry learning through guest lectures, professors with industry experience and diverse peer set from different backgrounds

I would assess the course curriculum as diverse and great. It included all aspects from social, economical, rural, marketing and finance perspectives in different course studies. subjects such as social transformation of India, ethics, law, globalization & culture were taught as mandatory subjects which gave us different perspective and lens of looking at the world

Yes, internship is mandatory and crucial part of the course which provides industry interface. 30 k is general stipend. Experience was great as companies give real work than dummy projects.

Good placement scenario and it has improved from previous years. Even today, we are doing much better than what the scenario was 3 years back. All big companies come in and some start ups with big funding come in to hire MBA in our college. Most profiles are finance and marketing. general package is 12-15 LPA.

All major festivals including national, regional and local festivals were celebrated with great enthusiasm. Cultural and sports fest happen with participation from multiple colleges. Business fest also occurs with inter college participation. Batch parties and Almuni meet happen with participation from all batches.

Alumni network and senior students are well connected and always helpful. Hostels had a good mix of junior and seniors which helped in increasing interactions.

Yes, exams are a frequent feature at MBA colleges. Comprise of mid term and end term exams in each trimester. A total of 6 trimesters are there. Every week subject professors take their own internal assessments which also get added in final assessment.

I would rate our faculty at 3.5 on 5. Guest faculty from colleges like XLRI, TISS were also invited for some courses whom I found really impressive. Our own faculty was great in subjects such as OB / HR and Marketing, however we could have better exposure in Finance and IT.
