Year-Wise Placement Statistics

The table below tracks IIM Kozhikode's final placement headline numbers across the last three completed cohorts (2023, 2024 and 2025).

Placement Trend Analysis

Across 2023, 2024 and 2025 the trajectory at IIM Kozhikode is one of widening reach at the top combined with steady, full placement at the core. The highest package rose every single year - INR 67.02 LPA (2023), INR 72.02 LPA (2024) and INR 81 LPA (2025) - a roughly 21% climb over the period and proof that premier consulting and finance employers are bidding harder for the school's best talent. The 2025 average of INR 28.18 LPA represents a 12.5% rise over 2024, and the top 5% of the 2025 batch averaged a remarkable INR 49 LPA.

The average package optically softened from INR 31.02 LPA in 2023 to around INR 28 LPA in 2024 before recovering in 2025, which is largely a batch-size effect: the cohort grew toward 561 students in 2025 even as recruiter count expanded to 169. The median has stayed anchored near INR 27 LPA throughout, which matters more than the average for a typical student because it signals that the middle of the class is consistently well placed. With 100% placement maintained every year, 13 international offers recorded in 2025, and the recruiter base expanding by 57 new firms, the direction of travel for IIM Kozhikode is firmly positive heading into the 2026 season.
