IIM Kozhikode adopts a three-staged selection process for its admissions to the PGP-BL Programme.
Stage 1 is the submission of Application form. Those applicants who are shortlisted are asked to complete the stage 2, which comprises of Statement of Goals and an Alternative Essay. Stage 3 would be a Personal Interaction (PI) with the candidate. The three-stage selection process would be applicable to each of the three independent phases, which are independent of each other (see Important Dates).
Details of the three stages are given below:
Stage 1: Registration of Candidates Meeting the Minimum Eligibility Criteria
In Stage 1, the following minimum eligibility criteria will be applied to all candidates.
Minimum Eligibility Criteria:
* Only full time remunerative work experience after graduation will be considered. Part – time/Project/Internship/Articleship/Pre-Graduation will not be considered as work experience.
IIMK PGP-BL code for GMAT is “D3Z-SQ-80” and for GRE is “ETS 4748”. Those students who are applying using the GMAT/GRE codes are required to send the scores directly to IIMK. Your official score report from Pearson/GMAC (for the GMAT) or ETS (for the GRE) will be used for verification.
All candidates who are fulfilling the above-mentioned minimum eligibility criteria are eligible to register for the IIM Kozhikode PGP-BL programme. The admission process to the PGP-BL programme will be conducted in multiple mutually independent phases. Only those candidates who have successfully completed the registration process (Stage 1) before due date will be considered for each phase. Please note that this (Stage 1) is a pre- interaction stage and not a call for Personal Interaction.
Stage 2: Submitting Additional Personal Statement
The Stage 2 process applies to all eligible candidates who have successfully completed the registration process in Stage 1.
In keeping with the programme design and vision, among other things, we rely on an intense process of conversational engagement, to identify the final set of participants who are invited to join the programme. As a part of the assessment, the candidate is required to submit an additional personal statement.
Personal Statement:
The number of candidates shortlisted for the Personal Interaction would be at the discretion of IIMK.
Stage 3: Shortlist to the Personal Interaction (PI)
The short-listed candidates will have to appear for a Personal Interaction. During the PI process the panel will evaluate each candidate's performance, on the basis of quality and nature of work experience, diversity, leadership qualities, social sensitivity, and multi-dimensionality etc. Strong oral and written communication skills, and ability to think critically will be among the key attributes that the panel will also seek in candidates.
