The FPM or Fellow Program in Management at IIM Kozhikode does have its own placement program. This is because the batch size is very small.
But the FPM program in itself is such a meticulous one that all its students become scholars or researchers. The recent data confirms that most of its fellows have been placed in the top IIMs or other reputed Management Schools ranked high on NIRF.
The only thing you need to be careful about is not delaying your thesis work and having good publications. If not you might face problems at the time of placements.

IIM Kozhikode is offering Project management course, Should I opt it when I am already PMP certified?
If you are already PMP certified then pursuing Project Management course of IIM Kozhikode will not add much value to your experience. This is because
-
Firstly the course is for professionals who are interested in acquiring the PMP and CAPM certification. Since you are a PMP certified professional, it means that you are an experienced professional too. So this course will add no value.
-
Secondly, the objective of the course is to impart real-time work experience, and understand the principles of project management. As a PMP you already have these skills.
If you want IIMs title for your CV then go for it. But know that you won’t learn anything new from it.

What is the 'Fox Incident' at IIM Kozhikode?
One of my seniors I have been in contact with for some time has told me that he does not remember anything about a ‘fox incident’ but he remembers about a fox family on campus during his tenure as an IIM student. He remembers seeing mother and cubs quite a few times.
Stray dogs in and around the campus have also attacked people in the past. Usually, they attacked people because something or the other irked them since they do not usually attack without reason. A sudden movement from the people must have provoked such attacks from the dogs.
The campus is located on two hillocks, with a lot of greenery. Owing to its location, you can get to see many animals. There were Foxs, Monitor Lizards, and Malabar Gliding Fogs, etc.
In past, there were rumors of fox attacks. Though it was not certain if it was fox or wild dogs. Many theories were speculated around them. The institute finally called a dog cathing service and removed the animals from the campus. There were many debates regarding the issue.

The best finance companies that offer roles like Equity Research Analyst roles, and Securities analysis visit both the B Schools. But the higher number of companies visiting MDI Gurgaon gives it a slight advantage over IIM Kozhikode. Yet I think both MDI Gurgaon and IIM-K are almost equal in terms of giving you the opportunity of getting an Equity Research Analyst role. If I was in your place I would have chosen MDI Gurgaon because of the following factors
- Location
- Infrastructure
- The industry-academia relationship
- Live Projects
- Guest Lectures
- Corporate Talks
- Peer learning
