    Management learning that fits working professionals.

    MBA For Working Executives - Batch of 2027-01-01
    4.4

    Academics

    The academic experience is closely connected with the needs of working professionals. The subject covers important areas of management and encourage the students to look at business situation from a practical perspective. Discussions, assignments and case based learning make the classroom more interactive. I found that the program also encourage me to relate concepts discussed during the course to situations encouraged in my professional work.

    College Infra

    The infrastructure is well suited for professionals who are managing studies along with their work responsibilities. The learning facilities, classrooms and Digital resources make it possible to attend sessions and work on academic requirements in a organised way. Online academic resources are specially useful when professional commitments make it difficult to spend extra time in campus.

    Campus Life

    Campus life is somewhat different from working because professional and academic responsibilities have to be managed together. Interaction with other participants, one of the useful parts of the program, as people come with different work, experiences and industry backgrounds. Discussion outside the classroom often provide additional perspective.

    Placements

    Since the program is designed for working executives, my main focus was on developing existing professional skills rather than depending entirely on campus opportunities. The course provides exposure to different management areas and can be useful for professionals looking to strengthen their profile or prepare for greater responsibilities.

    Value For Money

    For a working professional, the value of the program depends on how well the learning can be applied alongside an existing career. I found the combination of management, education, peer interaction, and practical discussion useful. The program requires both financial and time commitment, but the opportunities to continue working while pursuing management education. Make the overall experience meaningful for professionals with clear career goals.

    IIM Kozhikode Students Question asked

    On Question asked by student community
    Have questions related to IIM Kozhikode?
    Hey I had applied for CAT Exam and took the exam and scored 99.12 Percentile. I noticed just now that eventhough I clicked the NCL-OBC option, I uploaded my Community certificate instead of OBC Certificate. I have got calls from IIMK, IIMV, and JAP process for now. In all the process, my community was locked to NCL-OBC and I was not able to change it. So will all the other colleges consider me as OBC? Or will I be considered as general Category. Please answer as soon as possible because Im yet to fill some forms. Thank You!

    Hello

    You selected NCL-OBC in the CAT form, so colleges will see you as an OBC candidate for shortlisting.
    However, for final admission, they will ask for a valid OBC-NCL certificate.
    Uploading a general community certificate does not fully prove OBC-NCL status.
    If you can submit the correct OBC-NCL certificate

    So i was applying for CAT 2025 and I have made the payment and it was successful also.In my bank statement also it is showing the amount is debited to IIMK icici bank account however in the portal it is showing failed.Its been more than 48 hours and status is same.No response from CAT helpdesk

    In situations like yours, where the CAT 2025 payment has been successfully debited from your bank account but the portal shows the transaction as failed, it is usually due to a technical delay in updating the system. Such discrepancies can sometimes take more than 48 hours to be resolved automatically.
