What is the cutoff required in the CAT exam for the admission of a one-year PGPBL program (PGPM) at IIM Kozhikode?

Rohan VermaStudied Finance & Marketing at Indian Institute of Management Kozhikode

IIM Kozhikode has a holistic approach to select candidates for its various management courses. PGPBL at IIM Kozhikode is a new course in the 1 year MBA category, due to this reason it is not as rigid towards the minimum CAT/GRE/GMAT requirement for student selection. But you are expected to put effort into your application at the same time. 

This program has a very detailed application. With decent scores and in-depth application you can expect to crack the first stage of the admission process. But the program is attracting positive attention, so you can expect a rigid percentile requirement in the coming years. 

I would recommend you apply for PGPBL at IIM Kozhikode and experience the rich selection process first-hand.
