Strong fit
IIM Kozhikode’s PGP is a top-tier management programme with exceptional outcomes: NIRF #3 rank, 100% placements, and an average CTC of ₹31.02 LPA. The case pedagogy, international exchanges, and recruiter list spanning MBB, FAANG, and Indian conglomerates make it ideal for future consultants and business leaders. The ₹22.5L fee is steep but pays back quickly given the salary metrics. Only caveat: you need a killer CAT score to get in.
