How is the response to the IIM Kozhikode's PGP-LSM program? Is there any significant difference for the candidates selected with the general MBA program in terms of candidates pool?

Ananya KhannaStudied Marketing at Management Development Institute, Gurgaon (2018)

The students' response to the IIM Kozhikode's PGP-LSM program was good. The demand of the course was also high.

But as far as the response of the industry is concerned, I think it will take a few more years to assess this. The course is new and will offer opportunities different from that of a general MBA program. Both the courses are not likely to overlap in significance for a few more years.

What is the value of an EPGCOM from IIM Kozhikode?

Praver Katyal
Admin

EPGCOM is one of the best certification courses offered by IIM Kozhikode. 

If you’ve worked for a while in the operations domain, and wish to climb the ladder in your company, this is an ideal course for you. It is meant for professionals with some amount of work experience. 

It demands a fundamental understanding of operations, and is not meant for freshers or professionals with zero experience in this domain. Moreover, the course does not offer any placement assistance. The faculty and teaching methodology for EPGCOM is top notch, which is obvious as IIM Kozhikode is a renowned management college. 

Overall, the course is good, but only for professionals with experience in the operations domain.

How is IIM Kozhikode for HR?

SumitPost Graduate Diploma in Management from Indian Institute of Management Kozhikode

IIM Kozhikode does not offer any specialization degree. It offers a General Management or PGDM (Post Graduate Diploma in Management). This is somewhat equivalent to an MBA. It doesn’t offer specific PGDM in Operations, Finance, HR, etc.

A variety of electives are offered in the second year. You may choose these on the basis of your interests and the career you wish to pursue.

The area offers a list of elective courses in which the students choose to have a career in the human resource field or develop their people management competency. Some elective courses are as follows:

  1. Legal Aspects of HRM

  2. Strategic HRM

  3. Some Recent OB Inputs for Enhancing Employee Performance and Humanistic Orientation in Workplace

  4. Compensation and Rewards Management

  5. Performance Management

  6. Leadership: Applied, Conceptual and Evolving

  7. Discovering Self

  8. Negotiations & Conflicts Resolution

  9. Management Consulting: Profession and Practice

  10. Managing Creativity

  11. Organization Change and Development

  12. Recruitment & Selection

Honestly, IIM Kozhikode is not a good option for HR. IIM Ranchi or SCMHRD are better options for the same.
