What are some of the most significant innovations pioneered by IIMK?
IIM Kozhikode has irreversibly transformed the higher education space in India. [In 2001,] it became the first b-school in Asia to pioneer interactive learning programmes for working executives through satellite delivery systems. It is a diversity leader, bringing 54 per cent women to the flagship MBA program in 2013 and 2020, 30 per cent women among faculty, and 40 per cent women on the board of governors. IIMK is home to the first-ever Indian business museum and incubated a center of excellence for the employment of the marginalized and underprivileged, now known as the CREST Foundation. It was also the first IIM to anticipate the multidisciplinary approach of the NEP (National Education Policy) 2020 and commence a two-year, full-time MBA in Liberal Studies and Management (PGP-LSM).
