The professors are well-versed with their subjects and are very helpful. They do not only guide you in for studies but will help you in your case competitions as well. Some teachers really know their way with the students and go beyond the normal classroom interaction. The MBA is a hectic course and one should only opt for it if he is sure of it. It is a value for money course and it makes an individual a great strategist, leader, and industry-ready.

Have a question related to IIM Kozhikode ?

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. It is important to retain all proof of payment, including bank statements, transaction IDs, and any receipts. You should contact the CAT helpdesk again, providing full details of your application and payment. Additionally, keep checking your email for any automated confirmation or ticket numbers. If there is no response within a few days, you can escalate the issue by contacting the IIM Kozhikode admissions office directly through official contact details.
