Kanishka Verma's Review on IIM Kozhikode

- In 2012, 30% of the jobs taken up by students had sales and marketing profiles, with many opting for finance too.
- Top recruiters at IIM K are normally Nomura, Deutsche Bank, Merrill Lynch, JP Morgan, Bank of America, Goldman Sachs, ICICI, Edelweiss, HUL, etc.
- The highest salary offered in 2012 was Rs.32 lakh per annum, and the average salary is believed to be around 15-16 lakhs.

College Infrastructure and Hostel Facilities
- The classrooms are well-maintained and spacious, though, and the hostels are really good as well. The library is said to be fully automated and very well-equipped. IIM Kozhikode has a unique rain-water harvesting system, which takes care of all their water needs.
- Although the crowd consists predominantly of engineers, they aren’t the stereotypical ‘drowned in books’ kind. There are parties every week, and they celebrate each and every festival enthusiastically. K-dio is the unique in-house radio station at IIMK, a brilliant initiative, and it plays music from various genres all night long. ‘Face-off’.
Academics and Faculty
- Indian Institute of Management, Kozhikode (IIM K) is built over 100 acres of land, on the slopes of the Western Ghats in suburban Kozhikode. Although the campus is picturesque and beautiful, the inaccessibility of the location is often blamed for the fact that IIMK doesn’t attract faculty as good as Ahmedabad and Bangalore.
- The classrooms are well-maintained and spacious, though, and the hostels are really good as well. The library is fully automated and very well-equipped. The faculty is highly qualified and highly experienced. Although most of the faculty is visiting, the quality is not compromised. The course is more practical and case-based approach is implemented. IIM K being located away from the industrial belt has a different approach from the other IIMs.
Fees and Scholarships
- College fees for two years is 13 Lakhs, but an average student spends about 15-18 Lakhs including living and leisure expenses. There are many banks which provide educational loans for the same at Indian Institute of Management, [IIM] Kozhikode.
- College also provides a scholarship to top 10%. Apart from that, various goverment and private scholarship forms are also out there.
