How does IIM Indore and IIM Kozhikode compare head to head on placements?

IIM Indore and IIM Kozhikode are very similar to each other in most aspects, including placements. 

But the main issue is IIM Indore’s huge batch size. IIM Indore admits almost double the MBA students as compared to IIM Kozhikode. This leads to immense competition among its students, even though Indore has an advantage over Kozhikode in terms of its recruiter numbers and profiles. 

Apart from placements, a huge student intake places a lot of burden on the infrastructure and faculty at IIM Indore. The faculty to students ratio is better at IIM Kozhikode. But IIM Indore enjoys great connectivity, which IIM Kozhikode does not. 

Both of them are highly prestigious business schools in India, and you shouldn’t just consider placements while choosing between them. Moreover, the market conditions can hugely affect the placements of a college for a certain year. Its impact may differ from one college to another.

The final placements of IIM Indore's 572 participating candidates from the two-year flagship Post Graduate Program (PGP) and the five-year Integrated Program in Management have been completed successfully (IPM).
