IIM Kozhikode has recently revised its admission policy for the upcoming MBA admissions in the academic year 2024-25. Prospective candidates are eyeing admission to the postgraduate programmes, particularly through the CAT 2023 exams scheduled for November 26, 2023, playing a pivotal role. Those considering IIM Kozhikode for their academic pursuits should take note of the noteworthy changes introduced in the revised admission policy.
In a departure from the previous norms, the revised policy allocates a weightage of 35% to CAT exams. However, what sets this policy apart are the substantial changes in the allocation of weightage for gender and academic diversity. The revised policy designates 10% weightage to gender diversity and 5% to academic diversity. This marks a significant shift from the previous policy where both components collectively held a 10% weightage in shortlisting candidates.
A three-step selection process will be implemented for the PG program admissions at IIM Kozhikode. The process involves registration, shortlisting for the Writing Ability Test (WAT), and a Personal Interview (PI). The final shortlisting will be determined based on CAT 2023 scores, followed by the evaluation of candidates’ performance in WAT and PI.
