Your guide through the admission process.
IIM Kozhikode’s General Management Programme (GMP) is designed for working professionals who aspire to or are expected to take up higher responsibilities in middle management level and wish to undergo a structured learning intervention in the concepts, theories, practices and developments in the field of management. This programme aims to provide participants with a ringside exposure to the essential building blocks and the core subjects that are usually addressed in greater depth in a typical post-graduate programme in management. This course would be particularly beneficial for executives and aspiring managers and team leaders, who may have functional experience and technical/domain skills, but for various reasons, may not have had the time or opportunity so far to broaden their horizons through academic interventions and training in the field of general management. The programme would allow the participants to learn from and discuss with faculty members of Indian Institute of Management Kozhikode, as well as their peer groups across industries. Primarily delivered through an online medium, it would facilitate learning without compromising on their professional commitments.
The participants would be equipped to apply management theory in their areas of work. They would be exposed to management concepts as well as recent developments and advances in the broad field of management. The programme would also seek to expose students to the broad functional fields and would also encapsulate recent advances. Accordingly, core modules related to areas such as marketing, accounting and finance, strategy, operations, and human resource management, would be complemented with sessions on emerging themes like digitization and industry 4.0, and integrative themes such as leadership and responsible business and sustainability. Thus, the participants would be trained to handle business issues that are relevant to the present as well as the future.
The programme is designed to be integrative, and therefore goes beyond instruction in specific management topics. Towards this objective, the programme directors have designed structured interventions with participants at the start, during the course of the programme and also at the conclusion of the programme. An important design element is a weekend in-campus immersion module for participants that will bring them face-to-face with their co-learners and key faculty and experience the typical high-intensity classroom experience that has among other things helped mould some of the most successful managers for Indian industry. Participants will also get the opportunity to soak-in the unique campus environment of one of the most iconic and sustainable management campuses in India, set in the midst of lush green hills and surroundings.
Opportunity to earn a Certificate of Completion from IIM Kozhikode, ranked #3 in India by NIRF Rankings 2024 and globally accredited by EQUIS (EFMD) and AMBA (UK).
Participate in the 3 day In-Campus immersion module providing participants exposure to issues related to responsible leadership that is an increasingly relevant and critical business imperative while experiencing the typical high-intensity classroom and to soak-in the unique campus environment of one of the most iconic and sustainable management campuses in India, set amidst lush green hills and surroundings.

Lectures from esteemed faculty and industry experts, provide participants with exposure to the essential functional areas of management and business as well as emerging themes relevant to present day business. These lectures are not just informative but also thought-provoking, inspiring participants to think beyond conventional boundaries.
The in-campus module will be held for 3 days covering select topics from the above to provide a sense of live classroom experience for the participants, and to help strengthen their networks. The dates for the in-campus immersion session to be held at IIM Kozhikode will be communicated in due course. Attendance to the in-campus module is MANDATORY for all participants. In case the in-campus immersion cannot be held due to some unavoidable compulsions adequate alternate options will be made available via online sessions.
Over and above the subject-centric and leadership theme-centric modules, there would be introductory and occasional interactions facilitated by the programme coordinators. These modules transcend specific subjects/topics and are aimed at facilitating an integration of learning by participants, reflective synthesis, and feedback. This module will also include an integrative analytical project that the participants will have to complete, typically in small groups.
Evaluation methodology is the discretion of the faculty. A minimum of 75% attendance to the sessions (live as well as on-campus modules) is a prerequisite for the successful completion of this programme.
There would be mid-programme and/or end programme assessments aimed at cementing the learning experience for the participants. The integrative project will also form part of the assessment schema. More details about this will be shared during the orientation sessions. IIM Kozhikode will award the course completion certification to those who complete the assessment components successfully along with the attendance criteria.
The participants will have to secure the minimum pass marks in the respective evaluation components. Participants who successfully complete the same and satisfy the requisite attendance criteria, will be awarded a certificate of completion.
