Atibhi Lehakra's Review on IIM Kozhikode
Placements and Internships
Again getting a good job is subjective. What would be great for a fresher might not be so great for an experienced candidate. It is important to know what companies/profiles one is targetting. Most of the big Marketing anf FMCG firms come to recruit. Finance and general management are also great. Usually the campus manages 100% placements
College Infrastructure and Hostel Facilities
The infrastructure is pretty good considering that it is built on hill. The internet connectivity has improved a lot in this the year but still has a lot of scope for improvement. The lecture halls are state of art and the library is very resourceful. The campus boasts of scenic beauty, one that takes your breath away. :)
The campus is not very friendly for physically handicapped people. No ramps available. I would deduct a mark for not having a swimming pool. Though most of the facilities for sports enthusiasts are available.
Academics and Faculty
Academic load is pretty high initially, with one barely managing 3-4 hours of sleep in a day. But after that th pressure eases as on acclimatises to the busy schedule. Most of the subjects are relevant to the course though some may find the pedagigy questionable. But hey, it is a PG programme and the onus of learning and extracting most out of a course lies on the students. Getting a good/bad teacher is just a matter of luck. The professors are mostly available outside classes as well.
Clubs and Associations
The campus has some 30 student bodies including interest groups, clubs for your hobbies and committees. there is something for everybody.
These ensure enough importance is given to placement preparations, skill development, interaction with other colleges, industry interactions and insights, social service, competitions, sports and a lot more.
