The selection process at IIM Kozhikode is holistic, considering not only CAT scores but also academic background, work experience, and performance in the written ability test and personal interview rounds.
Prospective candidates applying to IIM Kozhikode should note that the institute publishes its official cutoff scores after the completion of the selection process each year.
