Admission Process

Eligibility Criteria

Applicants must hold a bachelor's degree with a minimum of 60% marks (50% for reserved categories) from a recognised university, or meet equivalent norms for CA/CMA/CS qualification holders. Final-year students awaiting results may apply provisionally, subject to submission of final marks and degree certificates by stipulated deadlines.

Shortlisting, WAT and Personal Interview

IIM Kozhikode typically applies an overall CAT cutoff of around 85 percentile with sectional cutoffs of around 75 percentile, though candidates scoring 97-98 percentile or higher generally have a stronger chance of an interview call. Shortlisted candidates undergo a Written Ability Test followed by a Personal Interview, with final selection based on a composite score factoring in academics, work experience, and diversity.

Admission Routes for Executive Programmes

The Executive PGP (EPGP) admits candidates through GMAT, GRE, or CAT scores combined with relevant professional experience, with the programme delivered in evening and weekend cohorts from the Kochi campus to accommodate working schedules.
