I can say about Amazon, they came for Operations, General Management, General Management, and Client Relationship. The stipend remained the same for all the roles. Many new companies visit IIM Kozhikode each year. The other companies provide roles in other domains as well. Students are never out of options. The projects are provided to make us industry-ready.

There are big brands visiting the campus and loyal recruiters coming every year.

The total fee is INR 20,50,000 for the flagship PGP program for the academic year 2021-2023. The fees are affordable. There are few scholarships like Narotam Sekhsaria, NBFA, etc to assist financial aid by the college. Kindly go through the eligibility criteria and be prepared with the required documents to avail the scholarship. I got the opportunity to intern at Amazon.
Campus Life :
The institute encourages students to engage in case competitions and various events conducted throughout the year. There are a lot of clubs such as Atharva (Quizzing club), K-Matinee (The Movie club), Tripod (The Photography club), Footvibes (The Dance club), Toastmasters, etc. The institute provides good sports facilities. The books are delivered and online material is also provided. The cultural, business, and sports fest happen during certain months. These fests allow students to participate.
Hostel Facilities :
I was in a Triple sharing room (boys only). Some of my friends got Single rooms and Double sharing rooms. The rooms are well equipped. Some rooms have an A/C facility which one can avail of through monthly rent. Hostel room allocation is random in the first year. For the second year, room selection depends on the students' scores. The registration process is provided on the college website.
Interview Experience :
After clearing the CAT cut off there was just one personal interview round. The questions were very random. They don't want correct answers, they see how we manage and respond. Knowing or not knowing the answer doesn't really matter much because they try to test our thinking process. The questions also revolved around current affairs and a little bit of academics. I prepared some basics of B.tech and glimpsed through the current affairs.
