IIM Kozhikode Reviews on Placements, Faculty and Facilities

As I mentioned before some courses are very comprehensive and make you learn a lot in the course of time. But being very hard on theory subjects the teachers should understand no one would ever memorise the concepts being taught. And as it's an EPGP course, teachers should be more flexible in terms of exams. It is important to understand this aspect and be practice. The exams are every 3 months. It becomes difficult to prepare the way they set the exams and classes get over just a day before the exam.
