Reservation

IIM Kozhikode follows the Government of India reservation policy for admission to Central Educational Institutions (CEIs).

The basic objective of IIM-R’s admission process is to identify meritorious candidates for
admission under each category of admission, viz., General, NC-OBC, SC, ST, EWS and
PWD/DAP. While merit is the prime consideration, the Institute recognizes a possibility of
skewed student structure in favor of male gender and engineering and related subjects at
graduation in the normal course. Hence, it strives to ensure a better balance in opportunities
among different subject streams and genders. It is also part of IIM Rohtak’s approach to duly
recognize academic consistency.

The admission process of IIM-R is a five-stage process:

Stage I: Online Registration for PGP Admission 2025-27 (Batch-XV), IIM Rohtak
