I am honoured to serve as the Chairperson of the Corporate Access, Readiness, and Engagement (CARE) cell at IIM Kozhikode this academic year. Despite the multiple challenges due to market forces, this year is also one of optimism, hope, and resilience.

I extend my heartfelt gratitude to all our recruiters for your unwavering support and trust. A special thanks to those who honoured their commitment to our Summer Internship program with remarkable support. Since our inception, we have endeavoured to meet your expectations with a dynamic curriculum designed to prepare our students for real-world managerial challenges. We deeply appreciate that you consistently recognize IIM Kozhikode as a top destination for corporate hiring. We are proud of this association and value it immensely.

IIM Kozhikode graduates undergo one of the most rigorous PGP programs, earning credits through a blend of core and elective courses delivered by experienced faculty. They are engaged in international exchange programs, live projects, case competitions, leadership talks, and sector-specific seminars, developing a comprehensive managerial acumen across diverse business domains. IIM Kozhikode has long championed gender equality in management education, and we are proud to have a majority of female students enrolled this year.

IIM Kozhikode consistently ranks among the top six IIMs, and prominently featured in highly respected academic institution rankings. We are currently ranked 3^rd in the NIRF, 16+ (Asia) in QS MiM, 77^th in FT MiM.  Also 2nd among IIMs and 21 (Asia) in QS Executive MBA Rankings.

We take pride in the increasing number of fresh recruiters from emerging domains and the international offers secured by our students. The diversity of our talent pool, fortified by our extensive alumni network, continues to drive our success. We believe in progression, and our strong initiatives in rural immersion, centres for social innovation, climate change, and labour relations have added to the students' erudite.

Our CARE committee processes will work extensively to provide enabling mechanisms to all stakeholders. We believe that continuous corporate engagement helps in academic innovations for adapting to change, critical for holistic and value-based education for business management participants.

We are privileged to invite you to sustain our mutually beneficial relationship. Thank you for your continued support.

Best regards,

Prof Roopak Kumar Gupta
