IIM Kozhikode PGPM : Fees 2026, Course Duration, Dates, Eligibility

Q: How is the response to the IIM Kozhikode's PGP-LSM program? Is there any significant difference for the candidates selected with the general MBA program in terms of candidates pool?

The students' response to the IIM Kozhikode's PGP-LSM program was good. The demand of the course was also high. But as far as the response of the industry is concerned, I think it will take a few more years to assess this. The course is new and will offer opportunities different from that of a general MBA program. Both the courses are not likely to overlap in significance for a few more years.

IIM Kozhikode: 7 Answered Questions

What is the value of an EPGCOM from IIM Kozhikode?

Harsh MehtaStudied at IIM Kozhikode

EPGCOM is one of the best certification courses offered by IIM Kozhikode.

If you’ve worked for a while in the operations domain, and wish to climb the ladder in your company, this is an ideal course for you. It is meant for professionals with some amount of work experience.

It demands a fundamental understanding of operations, and is not meant for freshers or professionals with zero experience in this domain. Moreover, the course does not offer any placement assistance. The faculty and teaching methodology for EPGCOM is top notch, which is obvious as IIM Kozhikode is a renowned management college.

Overall, the course is good, but only for professionals with experience in the operations domain.

What do you think about IIM Kozhikode's MBA in liberal studies?

Hrishi GanuMBA from Indian Institute of Management Kozhikode

IIM Kozhikode’s MBA in liberal studies is a fresh change from the traditional MBA. It helps in the comprehensive development of students. Moreover, IIM Kozhikode has the best faculty when it comes to Humanities & Liberal Arts in Management.

Some amazing features of this course are:

It teaches the students soft skills like management, empathy, leadership, etc which go a long way over hard skills like complex excel models, and well-researched reports taught in traditional MBA.
The course is a good choice because of its content. You will have to select many of the Humanities & Liberal Arts electives to complete their degree requirements.
Companies considering HR, or Consulting roles will definitely prioritize you.

IIM Kozhikode’s MBA in liberal studies offers a fresh perspective and is not a bad choice.

I'm working in a joint venture of Indian government and earning 7 LPA. I'm selected for IIM Kozhikode PGP course (2021-2023) Should I join it?

Mahak SenguptaPDGM from Indian Institute of Management Kozhikode (2016)

Whether to join IIM Kozhikode or not is definitely your call because the scenario once you join IIM K would be different.

I would like to share with you an experience of my friend, who attended IIM K.

He dropped out of IIMK as he found it stressful. You should know that the course is rigorous and it prepares you for the stress that you are about to deal with.
Obviously, the chance of you earning a high salary is for sure. But again, it depends on how well the economy is doing.
Most of the time the employers have a preference order, i.e. IIT>NIT>fresher, for recruitment.
To ensure good placement opportunities try to be in the top 10% of the class in terms of GPA. Also, you can become a part of organizing events, leading clubs, etc.
Since you will have 12 months of experience, you will be treated as a fresher and won’t be allowed to sit in lateral placement. So, OPs companies will be out of the picture which is maybe your interest since you are coming from a similar background. So, if you want an OPs job role, stay in the industry for another year and then join IIM K.
In order to get a consulting or finance role, you will need to come in the top 10 of your batch. You will also need CFA certification.
Marketing and IT companies will prefer you since you are a fresher. So, if you are interested in Marketing or IT, you can definitely join the institute.
HR companies don’t usually visit IIM K.

So, I will advise you to consider all these factors and make a more convenient choice for yourself.

I have 4 years of work experience in e-commerce. Is the IIM Kozhikode EPGP beneficial for me? As opposed to other IIMs its a 2-year course.

Unmesh GangulyMBA in Marketing & Information Systems ,Indian Institute of Management Calcutta (2020)

The profile you have will suit the two-year (hybrid model) EPGP program. If you do not wish to leave your job then this course can be good for you. Otherwise, you can go for full-time programs of one year at IIM ABC, SP Jain, or ISB. These are currently some of the top one-year programs.

E-commerce has gained a lot of popularity over the years and the scope is tremendous. Having work experience before joining an IIM will always get you plus points.

You will have good placement opportunities in IIM Kozhikode. The recruiters who visit the institute also offer very attractive packages. The average package is also high which makes the ROI manageable. If you take EMI it can be paid easily in five years. Internship opportunities are also provided to the students.
