IIM Kozhikode began its academic journey in 1997 and is among the highest ranked management institutes of India, holding the third position in the NIRF 2025 Management ranking for the third consecutive year. The institute describes its motto as Globalizing Indian Thought. The Kochi campus extends this brand to Kerala's commercial capital, and its location inside an IT park brings it close to working professionals and employers. For more details, see the courses offered.

The BMS is the institute's first full-time undergraduate programme. It is a four-year, eight-semester programme with Honours and Research, aligned with the National Education Policy, with a Major in Management and stackable Minors in areas such as Economics and Public Policy, Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning, Psychology and Behavioural Sciences, Finance and Big Data, Liberal Studies in Management, Marketing, and Sales and Digital Promotion. Students also have the option of a semester abroad at partner universities and an exit option after three years with a BMS degree. The BMS is not a fully residential programme and day scholars are admitted. For more details, see the fee structure.

The MBA for Working Executives has been running from Kochi since 2013 and is a two-year classroom programme leading to the degree of Master of Business Administration. It has an Evening cohort, with classes on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday evenings through online delivery, and a Weekend cohort with face-to-face classes on Saturday and Sunday. An immersion module is held at the main campus in Kozhikode once in each year. IIMK states that the programme is accredited by the Association of MBAs (AMBA), and it appeared in the QS Online MBA Rankings 2026 at rank 53 globally.

Kochi is described by the institute as the most cosmopolitan city in Kerala, with direct daily flights to cities such as Bengaluru, Mumbai, Chennai, Delhi and Hyderabad, a good road and rail network, and a metro rail network that can be accessed from the satellite campus. Applicants should note that the main campus in Kozhikode is 112.5 acres in size, but the Kochi campus is a compact facility located inside an office complex. For more details, see the campus facilities.

Because the Kochi campus is a satellite of IIM Kozhikode, the degree is awarded by IIM Kozhikode itself. For more details, see the admission process.
