IIM Kozhikode expects a 96%+ CAT percentile for general category non-engineers, with non-engineer diversity giving roughly a 3-4 percentile effective boost. Fees are Rs 24L and average package sits at Rs 28 LPA. Kozhikode historically favors non-engineers and female candidates in its shortlisting rubric, giving diversity points of 3-5 effective percentile for females.
The OP reference from the thread (IIM Kozhikode PGP'27, 99.89%iler) shows the top end, but you do not need 99.89 to convert.
A non-engineer with 85%+ in 10th and 12th, 8+ CGPA in UG, and a 96-97 percentile CAT with decent WAT/PI has a realistic shot. For OBC-NCL, the cutoff drops to around 88-90 percentile effective. Kozhikode's selection weightage is roughly 35% CAT, 25% profile, 30% PI/WAT, and 10% academics, so interview performance matters more here than at IIM A.
Compared to peers, Kozhikode offers slightly lower average CTC than IIM L (Rs 32.3 LPA) but stronger brand than IIM Indore (Rs 25 LPA avg) for most roles. If you are a non-engineer at 96 percentile with balanced acads, apply to Kozhikode along with FMS Delhi (Rs 2.
43L fees, Rs 34 LPA avg, 98%+ cutoff) and SPJIMR. Skip new IIMs at this profile. Check your eligibility at collvera.
