History

Indian Institute of Management Kozhikode (IIMK) was instituted in 1996 by the Government of India
as the fifth Indian Institute of Management in collaboration with the Government of the state of
Kerala. In 1997, the first batch of 42 students in the Post Graduate Program (PGP), equivalent to
MBA, commenced at the temporary campus at the National Institute of Technology Calicut. In 2000,
the site of the present campus at Kunnamangalam was identified. The following year, Joseph Stein
(also the architect of the India Habitat Centre in Delhi) and Stein Mani Chowla Architects began the
design and construction of the institute. In 2003, IIM Kozhikode moved into its hill-top campus. The
then President of India, APJ Abdul Kalam and the then Chief Minister of Kerala, Mr. A.K. Antony,
inaugurated the campus.

Interactive Distance Learning, an online management education programme for working executives,
was introduced in 2001-02. IIM Kozhikode was the first institute in Asia[3] to offer a distance learning
programme in management for working executives. Having started with 300 class contact hrs in
2001-02, the year-long Executive Management Education Programme is today the richest available
in the country having 450 class contact hours. Management Development Programme was also
introduced the same year.[3] The institute increased the number of students in PGP to 180 in 2005.In
the batch of 2013 the intake is around 361 for PGP. IIMK started its doctoral programme, Fellow
Program in Management (FPM) in 2007.[4] The intake of women in the PGP course was pro-actively
increased to 30% from batch of 2010-12 to improve the number of women in management roles in
India.[3][5] In 2010, IIMK signed a memorandum of understanding with Yale University to establish a
Center of Excellence for Academic Leadership as part of Singh-Obama Knowledge Initiative.[6]

IIMK Kochi Campus was set up in August 2012.

The main campus is located in Kunnamangalam, a sub-urban area of Kozhikode (previously known as
Calicut), Kerala. Kozhikode is the second largest city in Kerala. The campus is spread across two hills
which are part of the Western Ghats. Besides classrooms, the campus also has residential facilities
for students, faculty and visitors. The campus houses 13 hostels to house around 800 students who
are required to stay on campus. Set up over 100 acres of land, the campus relies on rain water
harvesting as its primary source of water.[7]

Library and Information Center

IIM Kozhikode hosts a fully automated Library & Information Center (LIC) which is one of the Centers
of Development of Digital Libraries in the world.[8] The institute coordinated the South Asia Support
Network for Greenstone Digital Library Software at the request of UNESCO and suggested the idea
of IIM Library Consortium Movement.[3] The library provides services as an institutional archive.[9] A
balanced programme on the development of the collection of hard copy, audio/video, CD-ROM, and
other electronic forms of documents is being followed.

Indian Business Museum

IIM Kozhikode embarked on a programme to create a Museum of Indian Business History in 2010
which is believed to be the first of its kind.[10] The museum will feature the contributions of India’s
business leaders, the history of trade, commerce, business and industries in India. The first phase
was completed with a budget of Rs. 1.5 crore. The museum spanning 23000 sq. ft. features a large
model of the Uru, an ancient ship which was used for trade and commerce between Indian and the
rest of the world, and pavilions by Indian companies like Tata, Godrej, Reliance, State Bank of India
and Infosys.[10] The Reserve Bank of India gallery of the museum was inaugurated in 2012 by D.
Subbarao, the then governor of Reserve Bank of India.

Kochi Campus

IIM Kozhikode opened a satellite campus in Kochi in June 2012 to enhance the institute's offerings in
Executive Education, especially full-time and part-time programmes targeted at middle and senior
level executives.[11] The campus is based in Athulya Complex at InfoPark in Kochi.

The campus currently offers a two-year executive management programme, which is accredited by
Association of MBAs (AMBA), in addition to short and long-term management development
programmes.The first batch of the two year executive management programme commenced in April
2013.[12]

Pre-Budget Panel Discussion

IIM Kozhikode’s Kochi campus conducted a pre-union budget panel discussion on ‘Second
Generation Reforms’ at the campus in Infopark on 20th Feb 2015.[13] The event was live streamed on
internet.[14]

Admission

The institute's current full-time student body consists of 720 graduate students and 38 doctoral
students.[15] The admissions to PGP course is based on the Common Admission Test (CAT) conducted
by the IIMs for admission to graduate programs in management at twenty campuses. CAT is
considered by test-takers as one of the most competitive exams in the world, with a success rate of
about one in hundred.[16][17] In 2015, around 2.1 lakh students enrolled for CAT to get admission to
the IIMs.[18]

49.5% seats in IIM Kozhikode are caste-based reserved quotas according to affirmative action policy
of Government of India.[19] 15% of the admitted students must be of the Scheduled Castes, and 7.5%
of seats are reserved for Scheduled Tribes. The Other Backward Classes belonging to the "non-
creamy layer" have been provided with 27% reservation since 2008 with the consent of the Supreme
Court of India. 3% seats are reserved for Persons with Disability (PWD or DA). The reserved category
students are admitted based on the CAT score using relaxed admissions criteria.

The institute also uses group discussions, essays and personal interviews to evaluate the students
shortlisted based on CAT scores. In 2013, for shortlisting candidates for group
discussion/essay/personal interview, IIMK used an index computed with 50 percent weight for the
CAT-2012 score, 15 percent weight for academic performance in secondary school, 15 percent
weight for academic performance in higher secondary school, 15 percent weight for academic
performance in undergraduate level and 5 percent weight for being a female (to ensure gender
diversity).[20] For FPM admissions, candidates with CAT, GMAT or GATE scores are eligible.[21] In 2013,
the PGP course of IIM Kozhikode had 54 percent girls, up from 28 percent in the previous academic
year.[22]
