The Indian Institute of Management Kozhikode (IIMK) has opened admissions for the 18th batch of its esteemed Executive Post Graduate Programme (EPGP) in Management. This two-year MBA programme is tailored
for working professionals seeking to advance their leadership capabilities. The hybrid format offers the convenience of interactive online learning alongside the enriching experience of on-campus modules.
Applicants can qualify by either taking the Executive Management Aptitude Test (EMAT) and participating in a personal interview or by submitting valid CAT, GMAT, or GRE scores (dated within three years from the EMAT date).
The EPGP includes 750 hours of instruction delivered via an Interactive Learning (IL) platform, supplemented by three one-week campus immersions. This hybrid format enables professionals to pursue their education while continuing to work. The curriculum includes core subjects such as Finance, Accounting, Strategy, Marketing, Operations, and Human Resources, along with specialised electives in areas like International Business, Digital Transformation, and Corporate Accountability.
Prof. Debashis Chatterjee, Director, IIM Kozhikode, said, “As India advances towards becoming the world’s third-largest economy, the ability to lead with vision and agility will distinguish the global professionals of tomorrow. At IIM Kozhikode, we remain steadfast in evolving our programmes to meet the emergent needs of a transforming world. The EPGP is not merely an academic pursuit—it is a leadership crucible where professionals cultivate the strategic foresight, adaptive thinking and ethical compass required to shape the future. With our commitment to bridging regional and sectoral divides, the programme empowers participants to stay ahead of change and lead with conviction on the global stage.”
The 17th batch had the highest female participation so far at 26 per cent, demonstrating IIM Kozhikode’s ongoing commitment to inclusive excellence, the IIM said. This represented a 100 per cent increase in women’s participation compared to the last three cohorts, setting a strong example for future batches. With over 5,000 professionals having completed the programme, the EPGP continues to provide individuals with the insights and skills necessary to lead complex organisations, it stated.
